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.

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.

THIS AVEO HAS ONLY 7,552 MILES AND WHEN ACCELERATED TO PULL OUT IT HAS NO POWER.WHEN YOU DO GET OUT IN ROAD IT ONLY GOES 15-20 MPG EVEN WHEN ACCELERATION IS TO THE FLOOR.I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD-TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED THEN DROVE IT ABOUT 2 MILES AND IT DID IT AGAIN-VERY DANGEROUS-UNSAFE-HOPE SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS.

AT 60K MILES THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. VEHICLE RUNS FINE BUT NOT HAVING A SPEEDOMETER IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IN OPERATED BY A PLASTIC GEAR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION COST ME 1600 DOLLARS AND THE 9 MONTHS LATER THAT GEAR LET GO ALSO. AGAIN I HAD TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKING. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

RIGHT FRONT BRAKE HOSE BLEW OUT LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKE WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. UNABLE TO STOP HAD NO BRAKES HAD TO SWERVE IN ORDER TO KEEP FROM HITTING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MECHANIC SAID IN HIS 35 YEARS AS A MECHANIC NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN AND TO MAKE A REPORT AS THIS COULD KILL SOMEONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET AVEO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. THE REAR BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS SEPARATED FROM THE BRAKE SHOES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO TURN OFF MAKING IT DANGEROUS FOR A PASSENGER IN CASE OF ACCIDENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET AVEO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS STILL DRIVEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY A PARENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,512.

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 55 MPH 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 IT 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 CORONER 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 THEIR AVEO'S AS WELL. ...UPDATED 02/11/15 *BF

I WAS DRIVING ON A BACKROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. MY ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING ME TO LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT AND PULL MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. I THEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED MY CAR. IT STARTED FINE. IT IS NOW AT A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL STALLING ON THEM AS WELL.

TAKATA RECALL AS I WAS HEADING TO WORK ONE MORNING THE LIGHT I WAS WAITING AT TURNED GREEN AS I GOT READY TO GO MY CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, BUT RESTARTED. IFOUND OUT MY CAR WAS LEAKING OIL ON MY HEAD GASKETS CAUSING IT TO SHUT OFF. MY SALES REP MANAGED TO TALK HIS MECHANIC TO FIX THAT. NOW MY CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS CAUSING THE TAKE OFF NOT TO BE PROPER & DRAINING MY GAS!!

I BOUGHT BY CHEVY AVEO IN 2013 WITH ROUGHLY 27,000 MILES ON IT. I LOVED THAT CAR AND IT WORKED WELL FOR ME UNTIL RECENTLY AT 45,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING, 15-20 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE, THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER AND FAIL TO ACCELERATE. I WOULD PUT THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND AND THE SPEDOMETER WOULD BARELY CREEP UP. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT DID THIS IT "SNAPPED OUT" OF IT AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS LAST TIME I HAD SOME LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID WHICH THE DEALER WROTE OFF AS A "LOOSE RADIATOR CAP". WHEN THE CAP WAS SCREWED BACK ON IT STILL STALLED FOR MY FATHER, AND IT WASN'T FROM OVERHEATING. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I CURRENTLY HAVE IT AT ANOTHER MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHEVROLET. WILL SELL THIS CAR ASAP AND NEVER BUY FROM CHEVY AGAIN!

PRIME WALL TIRES 185/60/R14, PIMEWALL TIRES PS830 185/60/R14 ARE SEPARATING FROM THE SEAM

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! *TR

EXTERIOR DRIVER DOOR LOCK FELL OUT OF POSITION AND INTO DOOR PANEL. AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK WOULD HOLD DOOR AS 'LOCKED' COULD NOT OPEN DOOR INSIDE OR OUT SCREW HOLDING THE LOCKING MECHANISM IN POSITION WAS NYLON AND FAILED. DRIVER COULD NOT EXIT AUTOMOBILE !!! IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE DRIVER MIGHT DIE OR PASSENGER(S) IF PASSENGER DOOR FAILED. HAD I NOT HAD TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES (911) FOR EXTRACATION AS THE DRIVER WAS TRAPPED. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT SHOPPING CENTER AND WHEN DRIVER ENTERED AND SHUT DOOR, COULD NOT OPEN DOOR AGAIN AS LOCK FELL 'OUT OF PLACE'

I WAS PULLING S ONTO HWY 515 FROM HWY 382 IN ELLIJAY, GA WHEN A CAR HIT MY DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR. ON IMPACT, MY SEAT BELT BUCKLE BROKE RELEASING ME INTO THE VEHICLE CAUSING MULTIPLE INJURIES. I WAS TAKEN TO PIEDMONT MOUNTAINSIDE HOSPITAL. I HAD RIB FRACTURES; CHEST WALL CONTUSION; SEVERE CERVICAL AND LUMBAR SPINE SPRAIN;SEVERE WHIPLASH; AND LEFT HAND LACERATION. I WAS PRESCRIBED NARCOTIC PAIN MED; MUSCLE SPASM MED; MED FOR INFLAMMATION. NEXT WENT TO KAISER URGENT CARE FOR SEVERE BACK SPASMS. MUSCLE SPASM MED CHANGED TO STRONGER MED; AGAIN NEXT WEEK CHANGED AGAIN. MOM HAD TO COME FROM TN; TO STAY WITH ME SO MY HUSBAND COULD WORK; I COULDN'T GET UP AND DOWN MYSELF & HAD TO SLEEP IN RECLINER DOWNSTAIRS IN MY LIVING ROOM FOR 3 MONTHS. WHEN SWELLING FINALLY REDUCED MRI SHOWED NO SPINAL FLUID FROM C5-C7 DISCS; SURGERY SCHEDULED FOR MAY 28 FOR FUSION. MAY 1, MY HUSBAND WAS FIRED FROM HIS JOB; SEPARATION NOTICE STATED 'RELEASED WITHOUT PREJUDICE' WE NO LONGER HAD MEDICAL INSURANCE; BUT GOT IT FROM MARRIOTT AT COST IMMEDIATELY AND HAD DISC FUSION ON MAY 28; STILL IN PHYSICAL THERAPY. ON MEDICAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE MAR 3-JULY 28; MY POSITION AT MARRIOTT HAD TO BE FILLED I HAD TO AWAIT ANOTHER POSITION, APPLY FOR UNEMPLOYMENT. GM WOULD NOT DISCUSS THIS DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND I NO LONGER HAD IT. I TRIED CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY, BUT THEY DID NOT TAKE MY INJURIES SERIOUSLY AND EVEN THOUGH I GAVE THEM THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE VEHICLE AND THEY AGREED TO DO AN INVESTIGATION THEY DID NOTHING AND MY CAR WAS SOLD FROM CO-PART. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT ANYONE WHO STILL HAS A CHEVROLET AVEO KNOW THAT THIS HAPPENED. ALLSTATE AND I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED SEAT BELT. I HAVE FINALLY RECOVERED ENOUGH TO GO BACK TO WORK. MY GREATEST FEAR IS THAT ANOTHER SEAT BELT BUCKLE IN ANOTHER CHEVROLET AVEO COULD BREAK AND SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED. *TR

IDENTIFIED ONLINE THERE WAS A PRIOR ISSUE DOCUMENTED FOR 2011 CHEVROLET AVEO WITH FRONT END SUSPENSION. I AM BEING TOLD BY DEALER THIS IS A WHEEL BEARING ISSUE THERE WERE 2 NUMBERS ASSIGNED THAT BEGIN WITH AN " N AND T". I BECAME AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE INFORMATION I LOCATED AND THE NOISE IT MADE WHEN IN MOTION. MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY BU CHEVROLET AND THIS IS REALLY A MAJOR CONCERN TO LEARN OF THIS PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2012 AND STRANGELY THIS AUTOMOBILE IS NOT NO LONGER A PRODUCT OF CHEVROLET. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ADVISED OF A SAFETY RECALL AND DO NOT WANT TO BE A FATALITY AND WHEN THERE WERE OPPORTUNITIES TO CORRECT THE SITUATION BY CHEVROLET. I DO VALUE MY LIFE AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO ARE NOT BEING NOTIFIED OF DEFECTS IN AUTOMOBILES THEY PURCHASE. WE DESERVE BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT.

I HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALERS REPAIR SHOP LIKE 10+ TIMES FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TODAY I WAS OUT ON A QUICK TRIP TO THE STORE AND WHEN I CHANGED GEARS FROM REVERSE (TO GET OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY) THEN TO DRIVE THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME HARD TO MOVE? AND THEN THE "HOLD" LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER THAT MY CAR WENT ON AND OFF ACCELERATION DRAGGING, THEN ON MY WAY OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF THE STORE, I PUSHED TO ACCELERATE AND THEN MY CAR BARELY MOVED LIKE SLOWER THAN THE CARS REGULAR CRUISE (LIKE WHEN YOU LET THE CAR MOVE ON ITS OWN IN MOTION OFF THE ACCELERATOR) IT WENT SLOWER THAN THAT. I AM ABOUT UP TO MY SHOULDERS IN FRUSTRATION WITH IT, NOW THE HOLD LIGHT WONT COME OFF AND I ALMOST GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT NOW IT FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *KB

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT OUT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE HOW FAST I WAS TRAVELING. *TR

12-1-12 PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM [XXX], 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 [XXX] 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. [XXX] REPLACED TIRE AND FORCED ALIGNMENT(NO WHERE ON THE INVOICE CAN I FIND THAT THEY REPLACED THE TIRE BUT PER [XXX] THEY DID) 3/25/13- CAR BACK TO [XXX] 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.
