Equipment Problems of Chevrolet Aveo - part 2

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.

My car has been having numerous airbag issues and electrical problems. The first issue with my airbags happened last year around this time. I took car to chevy service center and they told me they had to replace whole frontal airbag senor and other systems. In may of this year airbag light came on again. Took car to chevy service center and there were numerous fault codes particularly the passenger side airbag sensor. They told me that they believe there is a malfunction in the system but they were suggesting I replace the passenger airbag sensor. I asked gm to do a full system check on my airbag system but they refused. I could not afford the repairs so I did not have the issue fix. Also, I was not convinced that it would have solved the problem because they were not 100% sure since there were numerous fault codes. The next issue is hard to describe but when I am driving my car jerks and shakes and almost shuts down and starts back up at the same time. This happens whether I am standing by a light or fully in drive mode. I took car to shop but they could not diagnose issue because check engine light is not on and it does not happen all the time. Only when I drive my car for more than an 30 minutes to an hour.

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.

About a week ago I started smelling something burning. Thought I was mistaken. Tried to crank the car today and the battery was dead. Had a relative jump it and found the daytime running lights stay on even when the car is off. In researching what the problem could be I found that a recall has been issued regarding the daytime running lights module but I have not received a notice yet. I only have this one vehicle and I cannot get anyone to call me about getting this problem fixed. You would think that with all the bad publicity gm is getting at this time they would want to assist quickly. Nope. I am also dealing with my daughters car which is an hhr that has had the ignition switch recalled and I was advised today that it could take 8 weeks for the part to come in. Really? I am very concerned because my 3 year old grandson rides in both these cars. I am filing this hoping someone contacts me. Next step is ken amaro.

Vehicle looses power while at cruising speed with no warning. Has happened several times over the past 24 months. Dealer can not duplicate issue. This is a random occurrence and hard to duplicate. Acks like it is vapor locking. I suspect a defect in the fuel injection system. Fortunately I have not been in high speed traffic when this happens.

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.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Aveo. The contact stated that the drivers side key hole is missing. The contact stated that manufacturer was not notified. There were no repairs completed on the vehicle. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 70,000.

While I am driving I often smell burning plastic I could not tell where it was coming from. I called gm and the representative told me that it was coming from my dash behind my steering wheel. I also have noticed that after I have driven anywhere my key, after I have taken it out of the ignition, is really hot. The longer I drive the hotter my key becomes. When I called gm about this problem the representative told me that she can not tell my why my key got hot. When I asked her about the recall on my car that I had seen on the news she told me that it is not an official recall and she can not do anything about it. They also informed me that I can take it into a dealership to get it looked at but it would have to be out of pocket. I have talked to gm multiple times and they have told me only that the recall would be VIN specific, I don't understand how it is VIN specific if I am telling them that my car is not right. I really would just like my car looked at for the parts that are supposed to be recalled before something bad happens to me or my passengers. I also believe that since this is a known issue I should not have to take it to a dealership to get looked at and pay hundreds of dollars out of my pocket.

We were driving home from austin going 65 mph on highway 290 when the car just shuts down. Car had over 1/2 tank of gas, no lights came on, just seemed like the car turned off while it was going. Almost got into a car accident trying to pull over ( not to mention my husband was driving, im 6 months pregnant, and we had our 4 year old daughter in the backseat) , checked the car out, and nothing was wrong. Had to wait 3 hours before anyone could tow us home to houston. Been working on the car all day today, nothing is found wrong with it. Everything works, just doesn't want to turn on?!.

There was a recall on my vehical, the one listed above. But there is no way to get it fixed because the part in unavailable. . . How am I suppost to resolve this problem if I can't get it fixed.

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.

My vehicle would not start on a trip to florida and my boyfriend and I had to push start it all the way back to ohio. As soon as we got back I got back I got the clutch switch repaired which was $300. Then I went on a second trip to florida in July and once I arrived I got in my car to go somewhere and it would not start yet again. I took it to a repair shop where they could not find them problem yet still charged me $220 because it just started randomly. As soon as I took it back to the place I was staying in florida and turned it off, I tried to start it again and it would not. My sister and I push started it and I took it to a chevy dealer repair place and they informed me the clutch switch needed programmed and I paid $90 for that. The car was finally starting smoothly again until 10/27/2014 when again the car would not start. I took it to the chevy dealship o bought it at and they informed me that I I needed a new ignition switch and that it would cost $315. I am tired of this car I have only had it for four years and it only has 65000 miles on it. This has been a continuing problem and she be included in the ignition recall because it was obviously a faulty part. Because of the problems I have had with this car I will never by chevy or gm for that matter ever again.

Several incidents of engine dying while travelling at full speed on open highway. With power steering, brakes, etc. Sometimes difficult to get out of the way of traffic without being hit. Have tried new ignition switch, new key. Still doing it.

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!.

I was driving approximately 25mph when suddenly I heard a strange, loud rubbing/ clattering noise coming from under the hood. I pulled the vehicle over and turned the engine off. My boyfriend, who is a mechanic, looked at the engine and said the timing belt was broken. The vehicle would not restart and had to be towed. Now I am finding out that this is a known problem in this particular 4 cylinder gm vehicle. This engine is an interference engine. This means that the only thing preventing the valves from striking the pistons during vehicle operation is the timing belt. If/ when it breaks, it causes catastrophic engine damage, often requiring engine replacement. One or more of the timing belt pulleys are made of plastic. When the timing belt pulley breaks, shards of plastic snap off and become lodged inside of the engine, rendering the engine useless. Also, at high rate of speed, the valves become bent when the belt/ pulley(s) malfunctions. This is both costly and dangerous to the consumer, and the manufacturer should have made all pulleys and moving parts on the engine out of metal instead of plastic.

I have a 2011 chevy Aveo with 58,800 miles. It has a serious stalling issue and getting worse. My local chevy dealer service department had the car for over two days and can't get it to "throw a code" on the computer. It did stall for them before they got the computer on it. I have emailed gm about this issue and plan to file a complaint with ftc. I am going to have to give the car back to the bank and suffer financially as I am in no position to pay for 2 cars so this car can sit. It is unsafe to drive. It seems that gm is only willing to repair cars once someone as died or been injured by something that they should be responsible for from the beginning. The first 2 item they should be replacing are the ignition switch and fuel pump, but they won't.

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!.

Vehicle was parked in an airport parking lot. Unexplained dashboard/electrical fire occurred at some point while parked there. . . Vehicle was totaled. Sounds like the issue in the may 21, 2014 recall.

For approximately the last year I have been having issues with this car being sluggish on and off and now it sparatically has no power, when you press on the gas, you loose power at times. Now it just dies whenever! I have had it to multiple shops including the chevy dealer and nobody knows what is wrong. What is it going to take? having it stall in traffice and having someone die? apparantly this is an issue with many chevy Aveos! I really think this needs to be looked into! would you want your wife, husband,son, daughter,mother or father driving a car that is this unreliable?.

This has happened every few months. Most times thankfully it has only happened in parking lots. But it happened to me when I pulled out on a busy highway and it happened to my son today as he pulled out on a busy highway. I am scared for my son's safety. I paid a lot for this car as a used car from a chevy dealer I can not seem to get anyone who knows what the problem is. The chevy place said they could only help if if happen while they had it. Other places have said the same. I think gm should take responsibility for making a car with a dangerous problem. I have seen a lot of reviews of Aveo owners who have this problem and are facing the same frustration. Could you make gm at least give people who have bought this car they want to get rid some kind of voucher for a trade in. They could use it for the sake of their family's safety and their sanity.

It's the 3rd time it has happened. It occurred twice with my daughter and her baby in the car, today when I picked my kid up from school; the car cut off while in motion. I have changed throttle position sensor, crank sensor, cooling temperature sensor, 15 amp fuse twice, replaced the head gasket, sealant, egr valve and egr gasket. Cleaned off all oil residue on engine, on head gaskets, on spark plugs. Recently replaced thermostat, radiator, timing belt and have also did a transmission oil change. The car is not working appropriately.

My engine light stay on after I replace censor and now my brakesl lights are all out my clock dont work right my low beams are going on an off and after replaceing bulbs still do the same thing I just dont wont this care to catch on fire on me I have had it sense 2005 and bought it bran new and these problems are of very seriours concern to me this car has seriours problems and I have been reading about them on the internet why no recall yet on these cars.

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.

12-1-12 purchased vehicle from john l sullivan, the vehicle had a slight pull and sale person said it was just the low tire. While filling out paperwork and finance docs vehicle was detailed and tire was adjusted. We had the finance people put an extra clause in about the tire and the issue being fixed. 1/3/13- car goes in because of it pulling and tire light on- they said it was just because the detail person over filled all of the tires. Because of medical surgeries I was unable to drive the car from time of purchase until January 29, 2013. I gave it a month just because I was going from an SUV to this small car and I kept thinking that it was just the difference in cars. Then I decided no there is something wrong with this car. 3/2/13 back to john sullivan for pulling and whistle noise. Shop cross rotated tires and did alignment and said car was all fixed. 3/18/13- took car back same thing car pulls at 60-65 feels like the front and back are fighting against each other. Sullivan replaced tire and forced alignment(no where on the invoice can I find that they replaced the tire but per eric they did) 3/25/13- car back to sullivan same thing, put a shim in and aligned again. (during this visit a scratch and a dent occurred while they had vehicle) 3/29/13- looked at dent and said they did it to bring car in on 4/2/13 for repairs I also advised that the car is still doing the same thing pulling. 4/2/13- car back fixed paint and two or three people test drove car and yes the car is pulling but that's just because the car is small and it's just how the Aveo drives. Bottom line I am being told is even though several attempts to repair a chevy Aveo is just a vehicle that pulls against itself while driving down the freeway.

Timing belt idler pulley failure plastic breaks apart. Damaging internal parts causing engine to stop running. With loss of power steering power brakes.

The ignition gets extremely hot after driving to the point of my key actually burning me when I take it out.

In June, 2011 my sister was driving a Aveo and clipped a road sign on the right front bumper, continued to go straight over to left down an embankment of approx. 6 ft and 40-45 mph and hit steering wheel so hard that it broke steering wheel and busted her heart killing her instantly. I went to school for automotive and know a lot about cars and this accident makes no sense. I took pics of everything. Even though the airbag was out it didn't appear to have inflated completely and the clothing my sister had on she should've had some sort of cuts, burns,abbrasions,but instead nothing but a busted heart. She also hit the windshield with her forehead. I saw no sort of residue on or in the car as evidence that the airbag did what it was supposed to. She sustained injuries common to those injuries sustained from a car not equipped with an airbag. I was even going to see if Aveo came with a black box and to pull it off and have it analyzed, but the car got sent to junk yard before I could do that. No conclusion to this whole ordeal and this great loss we've suffered will ever bring her back, but knowing what I do about cars, I have so many questions and really want this looked into. I have inc reports pics of the scene with and without the car , as well as the car by itself panel for panel pics of the car. I know the Aveo is not one of the vehicles named on the news, but there are other similar cars with the same issues.

Bought used the end of August 2010. Started having an issue with the car in October 2010. While driving the car would suddenly lose power. Example going 45 the car would quit accelerating and wouldn't go faster than 5-10 mph. No matter how hard you push the accelerator the car won't go. The tachometer revs up and down but the car won't go. I have had the car in on several occasions and always get the same answer. They can't find anything wrong. In October 2010 the dealership cleaned the injectors and throttle body at a cost of $193. 80. Didn't fix problem. In November 2010 they replaced the O2 sensors. Fixed the problem until I took the car in for a recall on the ignition coil and boots on June 21,2012. The car started having the same problems. Took it back on June 25,2012. They couldn't find anything wrong. The car has continued to have this problem on and off. Took it back to dealership on may 22,2013 and again after keeping the car for a week they still can't find anything wrong. Today, June 24 2013, the car is doing it again. This is very dangerous. When it quits accelerating there are no brake lights. In heavy traffic this is a problem. Someone is going to get hurt or worse.

I was driving and the car just stopped . . If I was driving any faster or if there was a car behind me I would have been killed!!!!result was the timing belt. The car only had 52000 miles. I contacted chevy and all they could offer me was a loyalty discount on a new car. . . Which I probably would be entitled to anyway . . I just found a letter from gm indicated that the required replacement of the timing belt was at 60k miles. . . Well my car didn't make it to 60k . . . . . So they know that there is a problem and continue to deny it!!.

My airbage never deployed during a front end collision. My car continues to get stuck in park. The passenger side window switch does not work. The ac conitinues to make a ticking sound and still does not work after replacing a valve for a leak and replacing the compressor.

My step daughter bought a brand new Aveo 2009 is has been in for repairs 13 times for the same problem. It will run fine then will not go over 20mph this has happened several times while she is driving on highway at 65 mph has almost caused her and my young granddaughter to be injured. When she starts the car the clock will reset its self to 7:23 no matter what time it is that is usually the first sign it is getting ready to turn into a death trap. O2 sensor has been replaced car is again in shop they are telling her they can't find any problems but think it could be the O2 senser want 600. 00 to replace. Her check engine light has not come on. Car is no longer under warrenty. We have contacted dealership where she bought it no help from them. Contacted chevy asking them to admit it is a lemon and do the right thing no help from them.

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.

The shift gear does not work my back lights are all out I did not know this my check engin light stay on I have had new censors put in one week and the next week check enging light comes back on what is wrong with this car why wont they recall it I have to drive this car clock wont keep rigght time gear shift light goes on an doff and my low beam and have had this car right out of the show room only 13 miles on it when I got it and know it is all mess up I dont know what to do about it!.

Running lights dont work half the time, clock doesnt stay on, milage od scrambles, front end always had a shimmy.
