general problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Aveo

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Aveo. The contact stated that after exiting the vehicle, the door locks failed to lock. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but the dealer advised against repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 43,500. The VIN was not available.

2005 chevy Aveo, both of the inside door latches broke. They seem to be made of plastic and broke very easy. ## VIN failed ##.

The entire lock of the driver side door fell inside the door when I tried to unlock my door. First I tried to fix the problem myself, but simply could not repair the problem. However, I researched the issue online and saw that many, many others have encountered the same problem before with this model. Naturally, because I would like to be able to lock my car door, I took it in and had it fixed for $160. The customer service rep just smirked when I told him what happened and said that we must've pushed the key in too hard "or something like that". I was not happy about the cost, but I paid. However, just two weeks later, the same problem occurred with the passenger side door, which I rarely unlock with the key. Apparently the dealer does not know what causes the problem. Fortunately I was able to fix it myself this time but had to take the door apart, but it was time consuming. It is vexing to me that Chevrolet must realize there is a problem, but does not seem to want to fix it.

This morning I walked out to my car and found the lock to my car was punched into the driver side door.

The locking mechanism on my 2005 Chevrolet Aveo has been getting stuck. It does not open manually, it will not unlock with the key inserted on the door, nor will it unlock when I am inside the vehicle. The only way to open my door is with the remote. I fear that in the event of an emergency I will not be able to exit my vehicle in time. There is also the fear that I may become stranded because the batteries in the remote has died and I will be unable to open the door even though I have my keys.

The lock cylinder fell into the driver side door. Also the inside lock peg fell in too. Now I can't open my door from the inside.

This morning at work, I got out of my 2005 chevy Aveo and shut the driver's side door as usual. I heard a "plink" noise, and discovered the door lock had collapsed into the inside of the door. I don't see any recalls on it, but I can't help but wonder if any other Aveo owners have had this experience.

While driving down highway I heard a clunk in my driver side door. When I got to my work and got out to lock the door, the lock hole was empty.
