The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Aveo. The contact stated that the front and rear of the vehicle were unstable while driving. The dealer (edmond Chevrolet Buick GMC, 824 e main st, bradford, PA 16701, (814) 331-4476) was unable to provide the correct solution after inspecting and diagnosing the vehicle. The dealer replaced the ball joints, which did not prevent the failure. The vehicle was taken for an inspection and an independent mechanic diagnosed that there was a loose bolt that needed to be removed and replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 40,300.

I was rear ended by another vehicle while driving in traffic on the highway in slow and go traffic. I was driving at a slow pace, about 15 mph. The other vehicle was traveling at about 30 mph. When he hit me, he forced my vehicle into the one in front of me. My airbag did not go off. My car burst into flames about 5 minutes after the accident. The flames were coming up from the engine. My car is totaled as a result of this. I am 12 weeks pregnant with twins. One of my placenta's has a tear in it and is bleeding as a result of this accident. I will have to be on bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I am at risk of miscarrying one or maybe both of my babies.

I was driving and my whole right rear wheel came off while I was driving on the road out of nowhere. I slid about 30 yards down the street and hit an object that damaged my front end. Thought it was my tire but come to find out it was literally my whole wheel and it ripped out my back bumper. My tire is in good shape but my whole wheel bearing came off. The drum lug nut is still intact. I believe this is a manufacturer defect that needs to be brought to your attention. My life was jeopardized and I'm so glad I wasn't on the freeway because if so I may not be here today. I strongly suggest some action needs to partake in this situation and matter!.
When driving at 40 mph or over the antani makes a loud humming inside the car you cant hear its so loud . So if the cops fire or emsa was coming you wouldnt be able to hear them or other things you may need to hear . The antani is on top the roof and long at center front of the roof the wind hits it and the humming starts very loud . Every time I drive 40 mph and above it starts to humming and it is the antani.
1. Multiple times, my driver side door lock has completely fallen into the door. I have probably had this issue "repaired" five to six times, by both the Chevrolet dealer where I bought the car, as well as my own mechanic. 2. Things that were wrong when we first brought the car to the dealer for repairs in early April 2014. This is the list we gave them, modified for space: *clock a couple years ago, the clock in my car stopped working. Often, the clock would read 1:00 when I turned the car on, no matter what time it was. Sometimes, it would randomly display another time. Eventually, it just stopped turning on altogether. Player three times, the radio and/or cd player have turned on and off by themselves. This has not happened recently. The cd player sometimes works just fine. Other times, it does not. When it does not work, it does one of two things. It will either spin and spin and spin and then spit the cd out, or, more often, it will read “error 7. ” I do not know if the latter is connected to the other issues described here, but the former (the turning on and off) probably is. Daytime running lights the daytime running lights no longer work. My regular mechanic tried replacing the bulbs, but new bulbs did not solve the problem. I must manually turn the lights on. Reverse lights sometimes the reverse lights come on when I put the car in reverse. Sometimes, they do not turn on when I put the car in reverse. Interior lights/gauges about 10 days ago, all the interior lights and gauge lights stopped turning on, even when I manually turn the headlights on. The car interior is completely dark. Fog lights I believe these might not be working either. Interior dome light the interior dome light burned out. My regular mechanic replaced the bulb, and that fixed the problem. Right tail light the right tail light is out.
Interior door handles for front driver and passenger doors snapped off, causing cuts to the passenger and driver.

Hit from behind with a car pushed my car into a vehicle in front of me. Drivers front air bag deployed. It completely blew up; burning my hand and arm. There was mostly second degree burns. There was some parts on the arm later showing third degree burns. The car I was driving was determined to be totaled.
Went to lock driver side door and inside lock would not push down and found outside lock had fallen inside the door panel. Online research indicates this is a very common problem on Aveos due to defective plastic parts and dealerships seem to be charging very high amount to repair. Seems there should be a recall provided by GMC to fix this problem as prevents being able to secure the vehicle and belongings and occupants of the vehicle.
The car began to shake as I was driving down the highway. Then the wheels started to pull and the car began going from the left side of the highway to the right side of the highway. Soon after the car began to spin on the highway and I attempted to pull to the side of the road and collided with a wall.
Merged onto highway and got up to speed. Pulled into left lane to pass tractor trailer. Hood unlatched and folded into windshield at 65 mph. Hood remained against windshield until vehicle stopped. Hood had not been opened or released in 200+ miles and there were no noticeable issues prior to incident. Damage includes hood, windshield, roof and both front fenders.

Tires never last very long, may get 10,000 miles out of a set since we bought the car. Car has been making alot of noise going over any little bump and we changed the shocks and one was bad, started around 90,000. It is still making some noise and the dealer said that the rear axle bushing is bad and would have to get a new rear axle $$$-$$$$. Also the paint along the bottom of both doors on the outside on both sides had been starting to come off.
After buying my car brand new the air bag light went on and stayed on till this day. At the beginning I thought it was only the passenger air bag and went and asked about it at the dealership where they actually informed me that it wasn't only the passenger airbag thats not working, rather none of the airbags work. That was made clear a month later when my dad, grandmother, and brother were driving it and got t-boned by a truck and of course non of the airbags went off. I mean getting tboned by a truck is pretty serious thing where air bags should deploy! the Aveo is not the safest car to start out with but to also have zero airbags thats pretty messed up, pretty much a death waiting to happen, because lets be real here, I stand no chance if I get in an accident in that car. Might as well no have seat belts on there either. When contacted the dealership more than once they have nothing to say other than pay us and well look into it then you'll pay us more. I will never buy another Chevrolet car again.
My mother swerved to keep from hitting a vehicle entering the highway. She ended up in the oncoming traffic lane. Her car was hit by a pick up truck, spun and was hit again by the truck. Traffic was not heavy and it was on a rural road. Her air bags did not deploy in spite of multiple strikes. We will never know if her car cut off due to an ignition problem or it was faulty air bags. She sustained catastrophic injuries including a broken neck, broken back, broken wrists, broken pelvis, broken leg, broken ribs and chest injuries. She was air lifted to a trauma center. She died on 6/9/09. The air bags never deployed which could have helped reduce her injuries.
: the contact stated during a rain storm today water entered the vehicle on the driver side around the dashboard and pooled underneath the driver seat. An appointment has been made with the dealer for inspection later today.
