May 11, 2016 - Crestview, FL - Exterior Lighting
MY CHEVY AVEO HAS HAD EL CERVICAL ISSUES FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR ON LIGHTING BUT MY VIN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL AND I AM HAVING THE SAM ISSUES. AND NOW NOTHING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY CAR IS WORKING. BLINKERS, BRAKE LIGHT AND MORE. MY LIGHT FOR MY RADIO DO NOT WORK AS WELL. I HAVE 2 KIDS AND MY CAR IS NOT SAFE WITH THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES GOING ON WITH IT. I HAVE CALLED THE CHEVROLET GARAGE WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND ALL I AM BEING TOLD IS THERE ANYTHING S NOTHING THEY CAN DO CAUSE MY VIN IS NOT LISTED WITH THE RECALLS. I NEED MY CAR FIXED ESPECIALLY WITH IT HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS THE RECALLED 2007 AVEOS.

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."

HEADLIGHT FAILED. I HAVE OWNED THIS AUTO 4 YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 6 HEADLIGHTS. I JUST GOT A TICKET BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHT WAS OUT, AND I HAD REPLACED A HEADLIGHT LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE SO MANY HEADLIGHTS IN ONE VEHICLE IN ALL MY 49 YEARS OF DRIVING. THESE HEADLIGHTS CANNOT BE REPLACED BY THE OWNER, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES SPECIALIZED TOOLS. I HAVE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE EVERY TIME A HEADLIGHT GOES OUT, SO THE COST IN 3X WHAT THE LAMP ALONE COSTS AT A PARTS STORE. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE.

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, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY SON AND I BOTH GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES FLAMES BEGAN SHOOTING OUT FROM AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL. IT TOOK STATE TROOPERS APPROX 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO ARRIVE ON SCENE AND APPROX 20 TO 25 MINUTES FOR THE FIRE DEPT TO ARRIVE. BY THE TIME STATE PATROL ARRIVED ON SCENE THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

THE DASHBOARD OVER THE SPEEDOMETER BECOMES VERY HOT AND THE KEY IS HOT WHEN REMOVED. I FEEL THIS MAY BE RELATED TO RECALL 14236 REGARDING RUNNING LIGHTS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE RECALL 06133 REGARDING FUEL LINE/FUSE BLOCK AS WELL.

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.
