My 06 chevy Aveo has had issues since I purchased it last year. Unfortunately I am still making payments on this paperweight. I will never buy another cheverolet again. Thats my largest issue is that I bought a chevy. Air bag light came on after having the battery dead twice because of the alternator going bad twice. Im up for inspection and this car will not pass. Reading how this issue has never been resolved for anyone and Chevrolet wont own up and take responsibility for very important safety feature, whats the point in even trying but to throw this vehicle in the garbage? last time I took my Aveo in for a recall on the module, they said they fixed it and they did not because its still burning up, so I just try to not drive at night. I have a two year old and three year old and if those airbags randomly deploy and we get into a car accident, they are going to have a lawsuit on their hands.

I have a 2006 Aveo. In the last 12 months, the car has been in the shop for loss of power twice, throttle sensor replaced. Battery replaced, headlights blow out within months of being replaced. Ignition gets extremely hot. Radio blew out, a/c no longer works, passenger side airbag light has now burned out, instrument panel/shifter lights going out. And the car is now back in the shop with a bad alternator. The cost of repairing this vehicle in the last 12 months is ridiculous. . . Not to mention the towing, the strandedness and stress. I also have a 2000 Toyota corolla that has never been in the shop since I purchased it other than routine repairs. . . . . The Aveo is not worth the money, even when purchased used.
2006 & 2007 chevy Aveo svm models. Both alternators failed within 1 month of each other. Dealer claims to have replaced 'many' alternators for Aveo model in just the last week. Dealer claims that Aveo has this problem with alternators, but they are not covered under warranty. Alternator causes massive electrical problems throughout car. One car lost battery, dome light, radio, wipers, throttle sensor due to malfunctioning alternator. Alternator on Aveo should be a recall item as it is a prevalent issue for the model. It should not be a 'dealer makes money' since car is 3 months out of warranty.
