Equipment Problems of Chevrolet Aveo - part 1

There was no prior warnings or notices that there was an issue. While diving on a major road with my children, smoke started coming into the cabin from the vents, and around the stereo. Luckily I was near a very vacant parking lot and immediately pulled over. I removed the kids from the car safely and did open the hood to try troubleshoot the problem. There was no smoke anywhere under the hood. Immediately after, sparks started falling from under the steering wheel to the gas pedal. Immediately after that the car was engulfed in flames. The car is currently located at my local police impound and is available for inspection upon request. From the time the smoke started to when the car was engulfed, it was approximately 5 minutes. This could have been dangerous had we been on a highway and unable to pull over and get out of the car safely within that time. It was only inspected briefly by the fire department who arrived to put out the fire and they reported it was an electrical issue that caused the fire.

Nothing happened, but I saw that the Chevrolet Aveo's status was deemed, "recall incomplete," and I wanted to know what I should do with the car; if there are any repairs that need to be done or if repairs cannot be done. I don't have any photos because I don't understand in depth why this vehicle was recalled, but I wanted to know if this is very concerning or not.

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.

Key gets locked in ignition. It wont turn or if it turns it does not come out.

Arrived at home put my car in park and my key was stuck in the ignition and unable to shut my car off. Had to pull fuse to the computer and disconnect negative side of battery. Took it to a shop they advised no communication with shifter. Shop drilled out my old ignition lock cylinder and replaced with a new key lock cylinder. Seems to be working as of now after a $518. 74 bill.

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.

"takata recall" I was traveling along the garden state parkway northbound when my car stopped accelerating. I pulled over to the shoulder the car completely shut off and caught on fire. The whole car went up into flames while I was still in the car and was able to jump out of the passengeer side door. The car is totaled.

Coolant temperature engine heating up.

The vehicle caught fire while travelling at approximately 40 mph on the highway, us route 93 at exit 33, south in massachusetts, and burnt and the gas tank exploded. There was no accident preceding the fire. The vehicle is a total loss.

Chief deficiency: headliughts have spontaneously stopped illuminating. No high or low beam function of the driver or passenger headlamps. Bulbs were just replaced because lights were dimming. Upon replacement it was noted that the passenger plug in/socket was partially melted. Worked fine for 20 days; now no headlights at all. This occurred while I was driving after dark. I found there is a gm recall campaign 14236, dated 19may2014: recall # 14v261000 for exterior headlights. Additionally, to what is noted above, I have been smelling periodical whiffs of ozone while operating the vehicle these past few days. This vehicle is equipped with daytime running lights (drl).

Purchased this car with less than 30,000 miles from a local dealer. Problems including power loss and over heating within first few days of purchase. Chevy dealer "repair" we continue to have the same issues currently. Chevy escalates and says not a known issue, we should pay thousands to repair head gasket even though there tech support says to damage to gasket is not showing up when tested. Dangerous small vehicle that looses power for unknown reason and overheats for unknown reason. So far it can not be repaired. Many consumer blogs and same complaints. Thousands of blogs.

I have owned this car for less than a year and it has shut down while driving 4 times already. I have taken it to the dealer for repair they say they can not find anything wrong that they would have to be driving it when it shuts down. So this is how it happens I am on the highway driving and out of nowhere my entire car just shuts down and I am trying to coast to safety. Imagine that not being a safety issue and that this car has not been recalled yet. Recently I have been speaking with another person who owns the same exact car and he told me that his car has shut down just like that on several occasions. So if this is happening to me and another random person that I am speaking with I am wondering why this car is not being recalled. I am afraid that I am going to die in that car how safe can driving on a highway and have your car suddently shut down with cars flying past you at 70 or 80 miles an hours be. Please look into this I believe that there should be a recall on this car. I see below that you are asking for specific dates that this has happened I do not know those exact dates so I will pick a date.

Interior door handle on drivers side snapped and broke.

Takata recall my 2007 chevy Aveo on 9/ 10 2016 wen I started it up the passenger side air bag light saying that the airbag is off! has just come on and will not go off! it is on every time I start the car and wile driving it with or with out a passenger in it. This from what I have read on line means the air bag is bad and will not deploy or will deploy for no reason there needs to be a recall I have read many post from others with this same problem in the 2007 chevy Aveo please recall this car before someone is killed!!!.

The key is stuck in the ignition. Engine will not shut off. Transmission shifts normally.

Dashboard caught fire whilst car was parked for hours in secure parking lot. Car fire was put off by firefighters who cut battery and cables broke windows in order to stop fire. Now car does not turn on at all and dashboard center is completely melted.

The key is stuck in the ignition.

The "passenger air bag" light on the dash stays on and won't go off. Also the check engine light goes on and off and I had the code checked and they said is is something with the fuel. I have heard other complaints about the air bag light and it might not be deployed in an accident. Why does general motor have to wait until people get killed in their cars and have a class action lawsuit filed before they do the right thing?why don't they recall these cars and fix the problems with electrical, air bags and other manufacturing defects? my car only has about 21,000 miles on it. Chevrolet should be ashamed to sell lemons and show total disregard for their customers lives.

After putting tge car in park I couldn't get the key out of the ignition. It's stuck in the accessory position and won't budge. I looked it up a lot of people have this sams problem with the Aveo.

Driving home from work, stopped at a store in a parking lot, car ignition would not turn off, could not get car keys out of ignition. Drove to a dealership, who said the ignition needed to be replaced because it was shifting. Said it would cost 4 to 5 hundred dollars, did not have it fixed. But since then, it has been difficult at times to get the car to turn on, or if turned off, hard to get keys out. A valet could not get it to turn off and when he finally did, could not get the keys out,so he left them in my car. I think this has something to do with the gm faulty ignition switches.

Check engine light was on in morning when car was turned on, while going to work 20mph uphill my car started acting like I stopped pressing on the throttle pedal. I came to a stop on the hill placed car in park and restarted up hill. Car was noticeably trying to work 2x as hard. After work car was taken to a auto service center. The auto shop gave me these codes after the reading was completed; p2106, p2110, p2135, p2101.

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.

I was driving down the interstate on my way home to knoxville from athens, TN, and I heard my car make a funny noise, and then I heard a loud noice, and the engine began to smoke, I pulled over off of the interstate onto an exit and then the car basically died when I made it to the side of the road. The smoke was white at first, but then it turned black so we ran from the car. The car proceeded to catch on fire and by the time the fire department arrived it was too late. I had a lot of clothing and personal items in my car, and my boyfriend's laptop and really expensive textbooks were in the car as well. The car is completely burned except for parts of the trunk and there was nothing that was salvageable. I was looking online and found out that my car has been recalled because of fires, but I had no idea because I bought the car two months after the recall was announced. It doesn't really matter though, because there is no remedy for the problem. I now have no car and I am a college student and I need a car so I don't know what to do. I'm not sure how to go about contacting the manufacturer about my problem. I am very upset that this has happened, and it would be really nice if someone could help me fix this.

While driving 50 mph the car suddenly lost power. . Gas pedal was not responding and car went down to 10 mph third time this has happened first and second time were on the same drive( nine or so months ago) but car dead stopped the first time then started again and stopped and regained power again. The third time car regained power and continued on. Traffic behind me had to go around me abruptly . . . . Very dangerous . .

At stop sign pressed on gas . . . No power ! car was still on but gas pedal not responding .

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!.

Was driving on I-94 from milwaukee to chicago, once in kenosha area the car choked, heard a big noise and died completely would not turn on again. Pushed it to the shoulder and called 911. The dot towed the car to safety and then it was brought to the shop. The mechanic described the problem as the idler pulley and the timing belt are broken down and this cause the valves and piston to be completely damaged. The car was always maintained according to gm recommendation, timing belt performed by hall Chevrolet dealer at 67000 and oil change was regularly done at 3000miles. Also the car has a complete 92000 miles review with heiser Chevrolet back in March with all the maintenance recommended by gm (transmission, coolant, belts, hoses. . . Etc). The car is still in great shape. The timing belt and the idler part must be defective.

Unable to move gear from park to drive over seven times mechanic informed failure in gear box also informed that this is a manufacturring defect.

My daughter brought a 2011 chevy Aveo in wisconsin. When she came back home there were several occasions that I used her car. The first time I drove her car I drove it to work. While I was driving at 55mph the car jerked very hard to the left. I had to really hold the steering wheel harder than usual to gain control of the car. I called my daughter and asked her about the car jerking towards incoming traffic. My daughter stated that the car did jerk sometimes. I told my daughter to go get the car checked out. I told her to have them check the jerking out and why the car was wearing out tires so fast. My daughter had the car checked and she was told her car couldn't be aligned. My mom, my other daughter, her father, step father and myself drove the car at different times and the jerked while each of us drove it. Unfortunately my daughter lost her life in an accident in that same chevy Aveo in 2014. I was told to come to the hospital because there was an accident on August 1 at 11:45. When I arrived at the hospital the corner and the state trooper met me in a waiting room. They explained to me that my daughter passed away in the car accident she was involved in. She had crossed over the median line and on the shoulder. She tried to correct herself and get back in her lane and was hit on the driver side and killed instantly. When they told me that I knew that the car had jerked on her again and this time cost my daughter her life. Yes it was foggy and damp from the rain that evening. The police stated that a tire was slick and the road was wet. I was very glad that she was talking to her friend that night. Her friend was the one who called the police when she heard my daughter scream an the line went dead. I just want someone to know that something was wrong with that car. I looked online and found people who had the same problem with there Aveo's as well.

My granddaughter was driving the vehicle and was the only one involved in the accident Friday, July 25 2014. . She was critically injury, and is still in the hospital. It looks like the air bags did not deploy and for unknown reason the vehicle left the road and hit a utility pole. As everyone reported a similiar problem/accident.
