general problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Aveo

Front subframe. Pulls one way during acceleration and pulling the opposite way during braking.

My car just not running right I just bought it and seen a recall.

It doesnt run after the side driver front light got mest up, it over heats.

So I was at home and my car was parked outside and it caught on fire in the inside. The fire department came and put out the fire. It damaged the dashboard and the window. I have read that it is a recall on my vehicle which causes it to catch on fire. Manufacturer recall numbera140093 NHTSA recall number14v261 recall statusrecall incomplete.

Dash lights did not turn on when the headlights were turned on. Also, running lights did not turn on after my headlights were turned on (front and rear right). Left rear turn signal does not work. I was told by a mechanic this was due to the splice pack melting. He also informed me this was a known issue with Chevrolet Aveo's. This should be a manufacturers issue and not the owners if it is a known hazardous issue.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Aveo. The contact received a notification for an unknown recall and stated that the part needed was unavailable to perform the repair. The manufacturer was notified. The contact had not experienced a failure.

I arrived home from work on 6/8/2014 and when I removed the key from the ignition, the key was very hot it nearly burned my hand. I literally said "ow", I informed my father who was nearby and he asked me to check the around the key ignition panel which I did and it was also very hot. I called mcgee Chevrolet (877) 823-5348 in raynham, MA this morning on 6/9/2014 and asked them about this, he ran the VIN number and said there isn't a recall on this chevy Aveo model, but I informed him that this sounds like it could be a fire hazard and this could be a recall issue. He said that this could be the first issue for this vehicle type and could be a recall in the future. We set up an appointment to go to their service station at 11 am today 6/9/2014. He informed us that we would have to pay for this repairs as it is out of warranty, but we should keep the receipt in case there is a recall in the future.

I drove from work to lunch approx 2 miles. Parked the car, turned it off, got out to go inside to get lunch, when I came back and opened the car door there was smoke coming from the dashboard. I waited a minute to see if it would stop. It did not so called 911 to have the fire department come out. While waiting for the fire department, I saw flames and the whole dashboard area of the car caught on car.

Arrived at a hotel five hours away from home, parked my car and could not get my key out of the ignition. Fortunately I had my spare key with me so I was able to lock the door. Took it to a dealership and it cost about $500 to fix. They said the problem was the ignition lock solenoid. I read a lot of similar cases with this model online and it is unfair that we all have to pay to fix this issue. Recall!.

The engine would loose power and surge also check engine light came on. The throttle body was replaced. It happened a second time and again the throttle body was replaced this was on August 10, 2010. Now a third time the throttle body is being replaced September 19, 2014.
