Then calipers,sway arms,shocks, catalytic converter was defective and also never replaced right. Paid someone to put emissions sticker to pass.

Gm must not know this this has to do with the electrical wire harness inside of the engine block for the lights. For some reason the power is over writing the fuses and not blowing and causing small engine fires that could get out of control. I caught mine in enough time and put it out. A guy has to do with the right side and the left side in the fuse box being two separate entities of wires which is 7 + 7 equals 14 to control two different sizes. I was just wondering why and gm needs to know what's the sense of having a fuse box if the wires are going to override the fuse. And possibly catch fire or will catch fire it just a matter of an accident waiting to happen. I've been on youtube and found out this is a common thing to happen for chevy Aveo will there be a 2004 through 2008. I'm letting you know about this concern because I do not want anybody to die from a car fire because gm. Maybe not know about this that it's a big issue an accident waiting to happen. Sincerely darrin kistuline if someone needs to reach me my phone number is +(xxxxx). Thank you n. T. S. B for looking into this. Just really concerned because if the fire would have got out of hand I have my grandchildren in the car god forbid something were to happen to them.

In fear of a fire in my Aveo!.

My lights want go off.

Dash and shifter lights went out and came back on and eventually went out completely- would not come on upon startup. Some front and rear lights as well. Blinkers & flashers still work. Have checked all fuses and bulbs. Needs electrical repair.

About 6 weeks ago smelled something burning. Prior to burning smell, the daytime running lights all inside dash lights and clock lights and gear shift lights went out while car was in motion on a major city street. All lights stayed off for about 20 mins. Daytime running ligts never came back on. Clock lights still goes off an on. Dash lights and gear shift lights came back on once. But have been off a month now. Reported to gm. Recall on daytime running lights fixed free. But they said no recall on wiring of lights. I am not the only owner that has thos problem there are many who have written complaiys on gm. Recall website. I have pictures of burnt fuse connector relay that controls all lights. 10 mins of mechanic checking the part was so hot he couldn't touch it. On 8/09/2016 terry cullen fixed recall. I payed them $100. 00 to check problem about lights they said they needed $400 more dollars for 4 hours of more looking. My family mechanic found problem with in 10 mins. . . . . . Dealer. . All about money! I think they should have saw the problem or even knew it.

On a winter morning I went out and started my car to go to work, I got on the road and realized that my dashboard , heating control, and shifter lights did not work. I moved the settings switch and nothing came on. I have checked the fuses. They are fine. I did some research and it seems that many Aveos have had this problem. And the only fix is to rewire the system. Something needs to be done. If I take it to the shop it's going to cost anywhere between 50-100 dollars or more. If its a problem to the consumers then it should be a recall and not just a manufacturing defect. If this is a wiring issue then it could possibly end up causing a fire.

The driver side head lamp is not working properly. The wire lighting harness kept shorting out, I had it repaired at a shop. It later melted and the light went out. I tried to order another on, but the dealership only sells the whole kit not just the light bulb itself. I am having to pay over $300 for a new kit when all I needed was a bulb and the harness. This is insane, especially when there have been recalls for this very same problem. I also had an electrical problem where my car battery would drain, and lose power.

I was rear ended and it was not a bad accident but needed a bumper and I noticed that after this happened my airbag sensor light came on. When we took the vehicle in for repair I told the technician that I was more concerned about the airbag sensor light then the bumper. They said they would look at it. When we picked up our vehicle they said they looked at the airbag light sensor and reset it. Now 6 months later the light is back on. I took it back and they suggested I check on the internet for any recalls. I did not see any. Can you suggest anything. I feel that they did not really properly check out the sensor light or to make sure the airbag is ok.

2008 Chevrolet Aveo. Consumer writes in regards to parts not available to complete recall notice 14v-261.

Gm safety recall 14093, July 2014- parts still not available- Friday, 16 Jan 2015, I spoke with a lady, only name given was cheryl- who stated gm has been unable to find a vendor who can manufacture a headlamp switch to repair this vehicle. I find it extremely difficult to fathom how gm, producing millions of vehicles each year, each and every one equipped with a headlamp switch, yet cannot find a vendor to produce a headlamp switch. Cheryl's statements leads me to deduce gm has no intention of repairing this vehicle. Cheryl also stated that because parts are not available, this vehicle is not subject to the replacement or buy-back available under the us national traffic and motor vehicle safety act. Is that true?.

The front signal light on the driver's side stopped working, so I purchased a bulb and when my son went to replace it, it was working. About two weeks later, I went to start the car and the battery was dead. The battery was charged and it worked the next day. The windshield wiper fluid motor did not work for about two years, but recently, it started working again. This sounds like an electrical problem. I have received a recall notice for the drl, but they do not have the part.
