Gm recall #14093 2004 Chevrolet Aveo gm mailed a letter in July regarding this recall. There has been no follow regarding repairing the defective equipment. When gm was contacted, they advised to contact the local dealership. The dealership advised they have not received the parts or instruction from gm on how to repair the defective equipment. I have a Chevrolet Aveo with inoperable tail lights, front parking lights and instrument panel lights. I am unable to operate the vehicle at night. Can NHTSA assist with getting gm to repair the vehicles?.

Basically I am writing because gm issued a recall in June 2014 letting me know that my car has an issue which may lead to a fire in my car. The problem is that a year has passed and the status of that recall still is "general motors will provide its plan for remedying the defect as soon as it is confirmed. " I honestly feel they have forgotten all about it. I don't think this should be an issue that should take such a long time to get fixed.

My 19 year old daughter just arrived at her mothers house, parked the car and came inside. When we started seeing, and smelling smoke. So we went outside to investigate the problem and saw smoke pouring out from under the hood as if there was a fire contained under the hood. So we called 911 and suddenly we heard a loud pop and saw flames on the hood. We proceeded to get a water hose to pour water on the car until finally the firemen arrived. The car still remains in front of her mothers house, if anyone would like to take a look at the car. The firemen deemed it to be a total loss. I would like any information for recalls on this make and model.

My Aveo is supposed to have a warning light to come on when the engine has to be serviced. Apparently, this light did not come on for the warning that there was something wrong with the vehicle that I need to find out about. Driving to me(the vehicle was driven by my child of 28 years with a 3 month old in a rear car seat) to pick me up to take me to work the car just stopped. In the middle of ongoing traffic. Thankfully the car was not hit but the police as well as my brother (whom was on his way to work) were able to get the car to the side of the road. Her father (he was called) showed up with a tow on its way to take it to my mechanic. It was determined that the timing chain/belt went. Because the car was in motion it also caused the bending of 2 pistons. In order to fix it properly this mechanic was not able to do so. I was informed however that all Aveos from this model or year has shown to have the timing belt/chain to malfunction between the mileage of 40,000- 80,000 miles. So, I am trying to find out if there is a recall on first the warning light not indicating there was something wrong and second, the timing chain/belt malfunctioning repeatedly between the miles of 40,000-80,000 miles. I love my Aveo because it is the perfect size, excellent on gas and being a 2004 model there is only about 66,000 miles or so on it. I am truly missing my Aveo and would appreciate it if someone can help me get it back to normal so I can take it home. I have to say that this is my first real car and I would rate it in the top ten vehicles to purchase for its total economical qualities. So, please let me know at your earliest convenience.

I purchased this used 2004 chevy Aveo from tony Honda end of July 2010. It ran good up until 10/12/10 when all of a sudden the hold button light flashed along with the check engine light. . . The car literally dropped to like 5 miles an hour and sputtered all the way like it was dying. . . . Thank god that for some reason, I decided to take my grandson to school so I was in the school zone and not on the freeway which I normally would have been. I swear, I would have been dead had that happened at 60 miles an hour. I have called chevy and they do not have a recall.

2004 Chevrolet Aveo. Consumer writes in regards to several vehicle repair problems. The consumer stated there was a burning odor coming from the vehicle. The dealer was unable to find a problem. A repair shop, replaced a fuse, due to know battery power.

Ever since I bought the car new the clock has never worked right. It runs for a few hours, shuts off for a few hours. Dealer couldn't fix when under warranty because they couldn't make it repeat. Most recently, the electronic door locks have stopped working, both inside and with the keyless entry. I tried changing the fuse, but that didn't help.

We have a 2004 Aveo and no light came on and at 61,000 miles my car just quit running in the middle of the road and had to be towed to the dealership the timing belt had broken and the motor was messed up also. I had to pay over $3,000 to have it repaired cause a belt broke. It messed up half of the motor and had to be replaced. Then a month later the lights on the dash quit working and they told me that they have replaced them alot for these cars and the wire harness is $1,200 dollars and I am paying more for the repairs then I have for the car. The clock light has never worked right since we got the car. So be careful and replace your timing belt early and don't have to pay all that money like we had to. I wish I have never bought the car now.

One day, I was in a customer meeting and my factory installed car alarm just started going off. Nothing around it, no wind,etc. Now it has gotten to a point where I can not use the alarm and the drl and dashboard clock are constantly going on and off. I have read many similar complaints on autoforums. Com regarding lots of electrical issues on the chevy 2004 Aveo LS.

The locks quit working on my car. They wouldn't lock from the inside or from the transmitter.

2004 chevy Aveo purchased December of 2004. Clock resets itself, interior dome light works when it wants to, dash lights have blinked on and off twice, radio has turned itself on and off twice, excessive crank trying to start vehicle, doors do not completely unlock, windows do not always go up and down, alarm and keyless remote entry blew 2 - 10 amp fuses, dealership put in 20 amp fuse, still isn't working properly, vehicle is presently in shop for same issues for the 7th time. Dealership can't get the car to duplicate the problem. All of this started the month that I bought the car. It is getting worse and I am extremely afraid of having the car catch on fire.

When I first received my 2004 chevy Aveo, the clock kept resetting. I have taken the vehicle in to the dealership and there is nothing they could do because the problem cannot be "duplicated".
