I had a accident the car cought on fire.

Hello. My Aveo started, and when I tried to shut it off, it would continue to run. This problem persisted until I pulled a fuse from the engine. I returned the fuse to its allocated spot, but now there is zero life in the Aveo when I attempt to start it. The lights come on, and I have tried jumping the battery on two separate occasions. This is the second such occurrence in three years. Last time I paid to have my vehicle towed to a mechanic, and all they did was jump it. Started right up, they said.

Coolant temperature engine heating up.

When I go to turn off my car it will still run even if the key is out of the ignition. I seen a lot of people have this problem and it definitely is a safety hazard. I have a 4 year in my car when this was happening. I made it home off the high way with no problems but when I go to park my car it won't turn off.

Dash board lights began to flicker while driving on the interstate. Dash board indicator lights would come on and then go out without cause while driving. Then vehicle would not shift into automatic overdrive while driving on the interstate. Air conditioner then would stop cooling both on interstate and in town. Cruise control ceased to operate while engaged. Condition ruined battery, causing vehicle to not start. Vehicle currently in auto repair shop.

Had to replace suspension tie rods, po171 struts, tires 3 times and now a vacuum leak. Bought car in 2010. Car hesitates when driving and take off.

Since I got my Aveo5 LS in 2013. I have been problems since the air bag light on thinking my air bags don't work at all. The clock doesn't keep set. The flex tube needs be replaced every month. My headlights and brake lights need to replace two times a month or more. Then to find out I almost had a fire with my headlight plug is melted crispy black, now my headlight don't work as well. The module behind passenger side back always need to replace especially in winter. I had my car for 3 years and my paint has been coming off due to factory paint problem. Now I can not keep engine light off since I got my car, I think I put more money in buying parts then I paid for the car. Gm did a very poor design for this model.

Just wanted to let someone know sometimes when I take my key out of the ignition it is very hot to the touch and I have never had any other car do this it does not do it every time but on several occasions this has happened and was wondering if there has been others complain about this I just don't want a fire to start or something happen while I am driving it.

Stalled at intersection. Problem diagnosed as requiring ecm programmed. Not covered under warranty dealership charged a service fee for reprogramming ecm at a cost of $250.

The low beam headlights don't work anymore. Went to mechanic, who replaced bulbs with brand new ones, and they didn't work either. They tested fuses and said those were fine. They recommended I go to a chevy dealership to fix it but don't have the money for all that. Running around at night to get home from work on a passenger-side daytime running light only, or high beams when no one's around. Help!.

The car lost power for no reason . It did not fully stall but lost power and would not respond. It would lurch forward, barely go, then recover slightly. This happened sporadically and was frightening and dangerous. The battery light began to go off and on. Mechanics could find nothing wrong and battery ok. In November, car lost power in traffic, almost had wreck, barely made it to shop. "strangely swollen" battery found and replaced. Computer and all systems checked. Incident happened again. Back in shop. Clutch replaced, tube replaced in engine, etc. Cost $ 1500. Car seemed to run fine but only for days. Began doing same thing again. But when I take it to mechanics, can't find anything wrong because problem comes and goes. It seemed to possibly be triggered and happened more often if I used onstar built in phone. Had it turned off and thought that somehow fixed problem but it happened again yesterday in traffic with my 93 yr old mom in car. Terrifying. . Can't get out of way if car coming in intersection. No one helps me find a solution. I contacted gm online they said they know of no such problem. Hundreds of posts online from Aveo owners with same problem. Someone is going to die if this isn't made public. . We need a recall . Help please!.

Dash lights went out, fuses and bulbs checked replace. Dealership says it's in need of new fuse block $700 job to fix. This is just out of warranty and I see that internal relay failing on these chevy Aveo's are showing up on hundreds of cases like this. Need a recall to get this fixed since so many of these relays are burning up for no reason.

At 24000 miles the timing belt had to be replaced due to a worn harmonic balancer. Now there are more problems which cannot be duplicated at the dealership. When trying to start the car, it will sometimes not start. After waiting about 5 minutes, it will eventually start. No engine or security lights come on. As you are driving down the road, the car will "miss" and/or lunge at various speeds. It also does not want to take gas, especially at about 30-35 mph. The vehicle "pulls back" while accelerating. Unknown whether this is fuel system,engine, or transmission related.

My 2009 Chevrolet Aveo was bought in March with 25000 miles, in April I began having problems. After taking the car to two different Chevrolet dealerships, at separate times, the harmonic balancer was found to be worn which damaged the timing belt and had to be replaced at 28000 miles. Before this, the car was taken to the dealership for problems of not starting (occasionally). The issue could never be duplicated and was told the car was fine. Since then, the car will now act as though it does not want to take gas or that there is a "mis-fire" such as spark plugs. No lights come on. At 42500 miles when going 45 mph, the car acted as though it wasn't getting gas, or trying to "miss" and the engine light flashed three times but didn't stay on. After pulling over, turning off the car for 10 secs and restarting it, as said to do in manual, the car was able to be driven home with no security lights on. Car will once again be inspected a dealership for the same problems!!! this car should be recalled. It is not safe to drive. It "lunges" at intersections or when letting off the brake, jerks or makes a hard "miss" when traveling at a constant speed. Aveos should not be on the market. My Aveo gets great gas mileage, has no power options, which is what I wanted, but is still more trouble than any vehicles I have owned. My Aveo is driven mostly on the interstate and no more than 30 miles in each direction. It currently has 42550 miles.

I have a 2009 Aveo5 purchased new in March 2009. In April 2011 at approx 32600 the vehicle stalled while I was driving, cel came on, and it would not start again for about 20 minutes. Onstar diagnostics reported "internal control module failure" p16f3. I had already requested a tow truck, and when it arrived, I tried starting it again. It started and was able to move it to get it on the tow truck. Cel was still on. Took it to mike wilson Chevrolet. They kept it 1 week, said there was no cel, no fault code, nothing wrong with it. Last night, January 2, 2012 at approx 48000 miles I experienced the same problem with the same fault code. Onstar, advance auto parts, and my own personal obd2 scanner all reported the same code: p16f3. I searched online and found TSB 09-06-04-005 (February 2009) describing the exact problem and resolution: ecm recalibration. This morning, cel is off, and I went to rod hatfield Chevrolet which was the dealer closest to me, and they said that despite having that exact problem while under warranty and having it repeated now, that they would not fix it under warranty. I feel it should have been discovered the first time in April 2011, since it was a known problem and the bulletin was published before I even bought the car. Because it was not fixed the first time, I feel it should be covered under warranty. I was in danger both times when my car stalled in the roadway. This could have been fixed the first time and I would not have been in danger last night. I am in process of filing a complaint with gm.

S10 appropriate handling- letter to the secretary from constituent re copy of a letter to the u. S. Attorney general regarding a complaint against general motors. The consumer stated in March 2011, the vehicle began to loose power steering and the engine would shut off by itself. The consumer went to the dealer, where they claimed the problem was fixed. However, the problem continued. The problem continued into 2012. In may 2014, due to the existing problem, the consumer was involved in an accident and the vehicle was totaled. Also, the air bag did not deploy, even though the impact was severe enough to warrant air bag deployment.

2009 chevy Aveo - since purchased last July have had intermittent shut downs. Will be driving and go to make a turn and with out any warning the car shuts off. I have brought it back to chevy numerous times and they cant seem to find the problem. Told them this is a safety issue and if the car shuts off while on the interstate there is no way for me to get out of the way of traffic. I loose all power in the car. Then it takes a few seconds before the car will restart. Approx 6 mo after I had the car I was told by the service manager at chevy that there was something on their trouble board and they had to reprogram the computer. This temporarily fixed the problem until April of this year when it started again. Although I am in the process of a buyback from chevy they still have me driving the car. My 22 year old daughter used the car a week ago and experienced this while trying to exit off of one main road and enter onto another. The car just shut off.

Vehicle lost power to the engine. Stepping on the gas pedal did nothing. The car lurched and decelerated quickly. Power was suddenly restored to engine causing the car to speed up quickly, then engine lost power again. Car came to a stop, engine sputtered and then died. No warning lights came on. Restarted engine, car drove as normal. Took to dealership, they could find nothing wrong. Problem has continued intermittently for almost a year. Have taken the car to the dealership multiple times, they can find nothing wrong. The sudden deceleration has occurred at all speeds, including on the freeway almost causing a collision. The car went from 70mph to 40mph in one minute, sputtered for a while, and then came back to drive normally after several minutes. The problem happens within the first ten minutes of driving. It has happened twice in the same day after the car sat for 8 hours. The problem has not occurred for periods as long as two weeks but then comes back. The most extreme occurrences have been on side streets where traffic was not a problem, but if another car had been following closely a rear-end collision would have been certain. My spouse has driven the car and experienced the same problem.

The instrument lights on my new 2009 Chevrolet Aveo do not work. The fuse is fine but it appears to be a burnt connector in the engine fuse box. I have read online that hundreds of Aveos have had the identical problem. Thank you.

Got this car brand new off the lot with only 43 miles on it. Around 3000 miles I had my first major problem. I was going down I-95 in st. Paul, mn at around 75 miles/hr and the car jerked then cut off. Mind you this is rush hour traffic and I had 2 toddlers in the car with me. We almost got rear ended by an 18 wheeler before I could get the car to drift to shoulder. Took 3 weeks to fix the fuel pump bc the car was so new they had not made extra parts yet. About a year later I started having electrical problems- onstar not working or randomly turning on, clock resetting itself to random times, dash lights either going out or all staying on, headlights randomly working, and of course I took to 2 different chevy dealers and neither could tell me what was wrong only that it wasn't covered under warranty =/ once the car turned 4 years on it has begun eating fuses and coil packs. This is after the coil pack and spark plugs/boots put on by chevy after that recall. It is eating coil packs every 4-6 months and at 150-200$ a pop it is expensive especially once you factor in mechanic labor. I hate this car and wish I never got it. I miss my 96 Dodge caravan with the oil leak and manual windows. I felt much safer in that old van and it was more reliable- it never left me even with a blown head gasket. Chevrolet should be ashamed of themselves for putting their name on a now defunct pos foreign daewoo crap and selling it to us as american made. There isn't anything made in north America. There are a few parts made in mexico but most are korean made. I would never have gotten it if I had glimpsed those daewoo stamps under the hood, trunk, and car jams.
