general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Aveo

While driving, the vehicle began experiencing repeated electrical failures including blown fuses, inoperative headlights and brake lights, and the transmission becoming locked in park. When the fuse blows, the gear shift cannot be moved out of park and the ignition key cannot be removed, leaving the vehicle stuck and unable to be driven or safely turned off. The brake lights and daytime running lights also stop working, making the vehicle unsafe to operate in traffic. This condition has been occurring repeatedly and requires frequent fuse replacement just to move or shut off the vehicle. An emergency override hole on the shifter had already been exposed, indicating the problem existed before and the vehicle was previously being forced out of park manually. A tow truck driver had to use this override to move the vehicle. The airbag warning light is also illuminated, indicating the safety restraint system may not function properly in a crash. These failures create a serious safety risk due to loss of exterior lighting, inability to shift, inability to turn the ignition off, and possible airbag malfunction. This failure is consistent with a known defect involving the daytime running light (drl) module overheating and causing electrical shorts, as documented in manufacturer recall and technical service bulletins for this vehicle. The problem has been reproduced multiple times and remains unresolved.

Out of no where it cought on fire.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet aevo. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v261000 (exterior lighting); however, the parts needed to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

I was traveling on the kansas turnpike returning home from a family funeral when I noticed smoke coming from under the steering wheel. I pulled to the side of the road at mile marker 116. My son and I both got out of the car and within 5 minutes flames began shooting out from around the steering wheel. It took state troopers approx 10 to 15 minutes to arrive on scene and approx 20 to 25 minutes for the fire dept to arrive. By the time state patrol arrived on scene the car was fully engulfed in flames.

Unsure what is going o. But turned on running lights and one head light comes on with it and turn it to auto for the lights and the other side turns one and the other side isn't working.

When the car starts air bag light gets deployed this has been happening since 2011. The front panel gets overheated- daytime running light.

The dashboard over the speedometer becomes very hot and the key is hot when removed. I feel this may be related to recall 14236 regarding running lights. I am concerned about the recall 06133 regarding fuel line/fuse block as well.

Daylight bulb fused and electrical dashboard instruments stopped working. Ignition key got stuck and the gear changing stick would not get out of parking gear. There was a faint burning smell. Similar incidence has happened multiple times, everytime. Within 2 weeks of repair.
