Jun 14, 2011 - Piscataway, NJ - Exterior Lighting
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HIGH BEAMS AND THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE OPERABLE BUT NOT THE HEADLIGHTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE BULB AND FUSE REPLACED BUT THE REPLACEMENT DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER A THIRD TIME AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO HAVE THE FUSE BOX REPLACED BECAUSE THE PART WAS NO LONGER BEING MANUFACTURED AND THERE WAS NOT AN AFTERMARKET PART AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS ON THE LOW BEAM SETTING FAILED TO WORK. HIGH BEAMS WORKED AS THEY SHOULD. FUSES, HEADLIGHT SWITCH, PARKING BRAKE SWITCH, AND RELAYS CHECKED OUT OK. THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT A VOLTAGE SPIKE BURNED OUT THE LOW SIDE OF THE BULBS AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT BLOWING ANY FUSES. THIS WAS DISCOVERED DURING THE DAY RATHER THAN AT NIGHT.

TL CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN FAILING EVER SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 35-70 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLS SOMETHING BURNING. THE CONTACT LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER ON FOUR OCCASIONS FOR REPAIR, BUT NO WORK WAS EVER PERFORMED. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND SUNNY AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. OCCASIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SWITCH GEARS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. THE HEADLIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF WITHOUT THE VEHICLE TURNED ON. THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER WORK AND THE CONTACT HAS TO USE HER KEY TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. AFTER LOCKING THE DOORS, THEY SOMETIMES DO NOT OPEN FROM WITHIN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT CARRIES A HAMMER IN THE VEHICLE IN CASE SHE HAS TO BREAK THE WINDOWS TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,080 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56. UPDATED 5/30/08 THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON, THE TRUNK LID WOULD POP OPEN WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD OPEN AS WELL, THE TRANSMISSION HAD A STRANGE ROARING SOUND AND IT WAS ALSO HARD TO UPSHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT, THE ODOMETER WOULD JUMP FORWARD ON ITS OWN WHEN IT WAS PARKED AND THEN RESTARTED, THE HORN WOULD BLOW ON ITS OWN WHEN NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE.
