Headlights Problems of Chevrolet Aveo - part 1

I have problems with whenever I go to put gas in my car, some of it goes on the ground. Not all of the gas goes on the ground, but a little less than half of what I purchased. My headlights are so dim that I can't hardly see when I'm driving at night. Also, my passenger side air bag light is constantly on? there's one there and nothing bigamy wrong with it that I can see. The stereo. . . . . Only the driver side front speaker works, the other three doesn't work at all. . . . Please look into these few things or give me some sort of idea of what I can do.

Recall for daylight running lights over heating didn't apply to my particular car, but seems to be a problem in my car regardless. Ground wires in my headlight assembly have fried and left scorch marks on headlight connection. No actual fire yet just a melted plastic under the hood. Not sure if my car is invalid as have been fixed or just not covered but in either case part is failing.

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).

Airbag malfunction. Light is on and stays on. Therby disabling airbag functionality. Do not understand how this is not a recal already. Believe it has already been determined a recall on prior years. Headlight plastic deterioration. Plastic has crumbled and will soon make visibility unsafe.

The key comes out of the ignition even while the car is running and driving. I drove the car and thought I turned it off all the way - turns out there was another 'click' to turn the engine completely off. Engine also clicks after being turned off. Headlights went out, replaced bulbs only to realize the connectors were melted, bulbs being blown are not the cause of this issue. After doing research into the problem I came across recalls for this year, make model I came across a recall from 2014 (documents on this site) that said all 2008 chevy Aveo's were affected. I purchased the car from a used car dealership in may, 2014 - I don't believe this car should have been sold given the issues and recall notices out at the time. I only found out this week (sept 2016) about the issues. However when calling gm and a chevy dealership I was told there are no open recalls on this vehicle even though the issue can cause fires. This is a problem! the car goes into bryner Chevrolet tomorrow sept 29, 2016 for a service appointment.

Both headlights went out and the wires look like they caught fire. The drivers seat belt is alway unbuckling while driving.

Since the drl module was replaced as a recall item, I have had to replace each headlight every 2-8 weeks due to burning out. There is obviously a problem with the so-called "repair. ".

Was driving smelling smoke like something burning, every other day I didn't known what it was until the front driver headlight not out but dim my son was about to remove it the bulb and found that the wires going to the socket is burned it wasn't the bulb it could have caught fire and burn the hold car a fire!.

My headlights are completely burning out. I've changed them a couple times and my father told me my wires keep burning out. Also my fuel system keeps not giving enough fuel. I keep getting a gas line emissions when I get a check on my car. Check engine light on then off a few days later. Also my seatbelt in the back keep coming out.

Air bag (red light) light stays on. Also headlights plastic mounts, where the bolts go in to hold headlights in place, are deterated, headlights b bhearly holding on.

Have to change headlights every other month. When I change one the other went out immediatelly. Should not have to change headlight bulbs. Told dealer he said by bulb from them?? I bought correct bulb???? this has been ongoing since I bought car in 2010. . Ive replaced over 7/8 times.

My Aveo has had a burning electrical smell in the cab for approximately 2 years. A recall was issued 8 months ago and nothing has been done. Gm states that the remedy not yet available. Since the recall the daytime running lights have stopped working all together and the electrical smell has gotten worse. This car has been plagued by electrical issues and I do believe they are all related. I really don't feel safe driving this car everywhere with my family in it due to the risk of it catching fire. Gm refuses to give me any answers on this except that the remedy is in development. I think 8 months of waiting is long enough. The car also has issues with the airbag, radio, horn, security system, and headlights. All of which run through the same wiring harness.

Daytime running lights suddenly turned off while driving and now headlights don't work at all.

In July 2014, I received a recall notice #14093 from Chevrolet/gm advising of a fire hazard involving my daytime running headlights. The notice advised the parts are not currently available. . . I called their 800 number several times up through today to check on getting this hazard fixed. Unfortunately, today is 11-22-14, and they still are not ready to remedy the hazard. In addition, my interior light stopped working a few months ago, and it's not the light bulb because I replaced it. I would like this repaired too. I do not feel safe in my car, and in light of the fact that four months have now gone by since the recall notice, I strongly feel that Chevrolet/gm should offer/pay for a safe loaner vehicle until they remove the fire hazard. Thank you, raphaela todd.

I notice that my left head light when out. I replace the bulb with a high price bulb but headlight was very dim. I then notice that my headlights went out all together and no high beams, but my high beam light indicator on my dashboard is on. Also I my radio display will go in and out sometimes.

It started out as a dim headlight on my 08 chevy Aveo, so I went and bought a new headlight for it thinking that is was burnt out or getting close to it. At times the dimmed light was stuck on highbeam and then the highbeam would stay on, other times it just looked dimmer/burnt out from the other one. I took the three bolts off of the left headlamp and disconnected the power plug, I found out that the connector that plugs into the light bulb was melted/burnt looking. It also had a strong odor or what to me smelled like burnt rubber. I had decided to take the melted bulb out and discard it. The new one I did not put in, because I did not want it to have the same thing happen to it. So for the time being it is disconnected and laying by the battery area. I did look online and my vehicle is on a recall for something dealing with the lighting area. As of now October 14th it is still disconnected from the main headlight in fear of it melting and perhaps causing a fire to the car. I have contacted my local chevy dealer where the car was purchased from and no one seems to have any idea about it, but yet its recalled as of may 2014 from what I have found out.

In addtition to the daytime headlights randomly shutting off, the clock in the center of the dashboard will disapear untill I turn on the headlights then it reapears. ~ just before the vehicle stalls just after starting in the morning here in the fla. Sun, all the gauges go up then back down. ~ this 2005 Chevrolet Aveo lt hatchback, is having more and more electrical problems but the dealer, rosner Chevrolet, refuses to fix the problem without a charge, since the vehicle is not a fire hazard or on a recall list. ~ I feel as though gm and the dealer, are hiding serious electrical issues from the buyer either due the cost of repairing the problem or due to some of the manufacturing being done in south korea. Or untill people start dying from these problems. ( or untill we start getting lawyers ).

Second time that the headlights went out while I was driving at night. Car smells like something is burning.
