INTERIOR DASH AND CONSOLE LIGHTS IN-OPERATIVE AS WELL AS THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT. JESUS CHRIST, AFTER SEEING ALL OF THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS OUR BELOVED NO GOOD FOR NOTHING GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES SHOULD MAKE GM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR FOR THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURERS OR ENGINEERING DEFECT. OR AT LEAST SEND OUT DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS TO THE OWNERS ON HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SO THEY CAN TAKE IT TO THEIR MECHANIC OF CHOICE TO GET IT FIXED. THE DEALERS OBVIOUSLY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AND THEY CHARGE TOO MUCH ANY HOW. SINCERELY, GEORGE S.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR IN 2011 WITH 25,000 MILES, FIRST 6 MONTHS WAS GREAT. BUT THEN THE INSIDE PANEL LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF. DOOR LOCKS WEREN'T WORKING AND I NOTICED A BURN MARK ON MY PANEL UNDER STEERING WHEELS AND TOOK TO A SHOP AND HE SAID WIRES WERE A MESS UNDER THE DASH. HE FIXED THE DOOR LOCKS FOR ME AND 200 AND SOMETHING DOLLARS STILL NO PANEL LIGHTS. I TRIED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT NO ONE WANTS TO TOUCH THE MESS. I GOT A RECALL FOR THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WHICH I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH, SO WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THAT TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND NOTHING WAS DONE.

WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF BUYING MY AVEO I HAD TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS 10X I KEPT TAKING THE CAR IN TO GET CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE, THEN ONE TIME THEY SAID JUST NEEDED A BETTER FUSE (THE CHANGED IT) WORKED FOR ABOUT A YEAR THEN SIGNAL LIGHTS KEPT GOING OUT, THEN TAIL LIGHTS. THOUGHT THERE WAS SHORT TOOK CAR IN FEW TIMES THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG. TIRED OF TAKING THE CAR IN, I AM A VERY BUSY PERSON. SO WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 6-7 YEARS NOW THE DASH LIGHTS HAVE COMPLETELY GONE OUT NOW AND WON'T COME BACK ON, LEAVING US WITH 1 HEADLIGHT, 1 TAIL LIGHT AND ONLY OCCASIONAL REAR SIGNALS. AND ALWAYS SMELLS LIGHT WIRES BURNING. IN SEPT OF 2014 WE RECEIVED A LETTER RECALLING THE CAR FOR LIGHTING PROBLEMS AND STILL NOTHING ABOUT GETTING FIXED!!! THIS IS ONLY ONE OF MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS CAR.

MY 05 AVEO,IS INCLUDED IN THE GM RECALL#A140093/NHTSA RECALL#14V261(HEADLAMP SWITCH & DRL). I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH ALL OF MY EXTERNAL LIGHTS (MY GAUGE CLUSTER AND SHIFTER LIGHTS HAVE BEEN OUT). I WAS REPLACING EVERY EXTERNAL BULB EVERY FEW WEEKS TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON. THAT IS NOT WORKING. I AM DOWN TO ONE HEADLIGHT (DRIVER SIDE) WORKING ' AS FAR AS RUNNING LIGHTS GO. I HAVE NO TAILLIGHTS (BRAKELIGHTS WORK). I COMMUTE APPROX. 40MILES EACH DIRECTION FOR WORK-ALL FREEWAY. I MADE AN APPT W/CHEVY,TOOK THE DAY OFF WORK SO THE CAR COULD BE THERE ALL DAY.AS I ARRIVED TO MY APPT THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THERE IS NOT A REMEDY FROM GM YET SO I WILL NEED TO COVER THE COST. EVENTUALLY WE WENT INTO THE BUILDING TO COMPLETE MY WRITE UP, AT THAT POINT I WAS TOLD THEY WERE BACKED UP ON RECALLS SO THEY MAY NOT GET TO MY VEHICLE DESPITE THE APPT. I REITERATED THE ISSUE,HE SAID OKAY,TOLD ME HE WOULD BE IN CONTACT WITH ME. AT 3:30 HE CALLED,TOLD ME THEY HADN'T HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE BUT WOULD GET TO IT TOMORROW. I TOOK ANOTHER DAY OFF WORK & LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM.NEXT DAY,I CALLED AT 11AM & I'M TOLD THEY HAVE YET TO TOUCH MY VEHICLE & THERE ARE ABOUT 20 CARS IN FRONT OF ME SO THEY WON'T GET TO IT TODAY EITHER.I COULD NOT LEAVE THE CAR ANOTHER DAY, I TOLD HIM I WOULD PICK IT UP. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED GM EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, THEIR RESPONSE WAS 'WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT'. I TOLD THEM THE CAR WAS UNSAFE AND ILLEGAL TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION I NEEDED IT FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CONTACT ME. ABOUT 20MINS LATER THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED ME, GAVE ME THE SAME RUN AROUND AS THE FIRST DEALERSHIP.THIS RECALL IS 7MONTHS OLD, IT TOOK GM 10YRS TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN GOOD FAITH THE BASIC FUNCTIONALITY OF THE CAR WOULD WORK AND IT DOES NOT AND GM IS NOT CORRECTING THE ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FIRST WENT OFF. THE CAR STILL RAN BUT THE DASH LIGHT INDICATING THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING ALSO WENT OFF. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. IT CAN AND HAS HAPPENED RIGHT WHEN I START THE CAR, OR WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD.

IN ADDITION TO THE DAYTIME HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF, THE CLOCK IN THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD WILL DISAPPEAR UNTIL I TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS THEN IT REAPPEARS. ~ 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 UNTIL PEOPLE START DYING FROM THESE PROBLEMS. ( OR UNTIL WE START GETTING LAWYERS ).

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM PICKING MY KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL WHEN MY ALL MY GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. THEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AND THEN MY CAR DIED WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT ACROSS A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. MY WIFE AND 3 KIDS WERE NEARLY T BONED BY A SEMI. TWO DAYS PRIOR I HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION REPLACED. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED OVER THEIR FAULTY WIRING.

2005 AVEO LT ~ DAY OR NIGHT THE SAFETY HEADLIGHTS (HEADLIGHTS / OTHER) WILL JUST SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON AFTER BEING ON FOR LESS THAN AN HOUR. ~ IT'S NOT FUN DRIVING ON I-95 HERE IN EAST CENTRAL FLA. AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN YOUR HEADLIGHTS DISAPPEAR ! ! ! ~ ONE MONTH AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR (USED) FROM ROSNER CHEVROLET (MELBOURNE, FLA.)

FIRST, THE INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2005 CHEVY AVEO. THEN ON MY WAY BACK TO MY COLLEGE THE TAIL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. I HAD NOT KNOWN THIS UNTIL I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY AN 18-WHEELER WHO COULD NOT TELL THAT I WAS HITTING MY BRAKES! FINALLY AFTER BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE GRAY AND WHITE SPLICER AT THE TOP RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF MY FUSE BOX, WHICH CONNECTS THE WIRES IN THE FUSE BOX TO THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS, WAS SO BADLY BURNT FROM THE WIRES SHORTING EACH OUT SPONTANEOUSLY. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $1,290.00 TO REPLACE THE PART, AND THAT IS NOT INCLUDING LABOR FEES! IN HOPE TO FIND A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE, I CALLED EVERY JUNKYARD AND U-PULL IT LOCATION AND NONE OF THEM HAD THE CONNECTOR BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN PULLED OUT AND SOLD SINCE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. AS A COLLEGE STUDENT WHO IS PAYING HER OWN WAY, I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT! I HEAVILY RELY ON MY CAR TO GET TO SCHOOL AND WORK, AND IT IS TERRIBLE TO BE IN SUCH A PREDICAMENT. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. IT IS ABSURD THAT WE PUT OUR TRUST INTO 2005 CHEVY AVEOS ONLY TO HAVE OUR LIVES PUT IN DANGER WHEN USING THEM AND THEN HAVE TO PAY SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURE IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THESE ISSUES! ESPECIALLY SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PUTTING COMPLAINTS IN ABOUT IT AS EARLY AS 2007, ONLY TWO YEARS AFTER THE CAR WAS MADE! HOW MANY LIVES HAVE TO BE PUT INTO DANGER BEFORE THE RIGHT PARTY IS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?! SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT FAIR!
