2006 chevy aveo hatch back my wife had purchased the 2006 chevy aveo and just one month ago it started to have problems 1- battery went dead purchased 2 new one before it w okay 2- lighters did not work had it checked and they could not find problem could be wiring 3- alternator goes out leaving my wife stranded 4-alternator goes the next week again leaving my wife stranded for at least an hours and a week before the item could be fixed 5- thermostat has broke in half and now since i live on guam item is not in stock help us on guam *tr

Instrument cluster lights (speedometer, gas gauge, etc.) lights on shifter, and right rear taillights all went out at the same time. fuses were all still good, light bulbs still good. eventually tracked it down to a burnt out wiring splice, which had to be replaced. the loss of interior lights and brake lights is a serious hazard - especially when the fix requires hunting down bad factory wiring. *tr

I have a 2006 aveo. in the last 12 months, the car has been in the shop for loss of power twice, throttle sensor replaced. battery replaced, headlights blow out within months of being replaced. ignition gets extremely hot. radio blew out, a/c no longer works, passenger side airbag light has now burned out, instrument panel/shifter lights going out. and the car is now back in the shop with a bad alternator. the cost of repairing this vehicle in the last 12 months is ridiculous...not to mention the towing, the strandedness and stress. i also have a 2000 toyota corolla that has never been in the shop since i purchased it other than routine repairs.....the aveo is not worth the money, even when purchased used. *tr

2006 & 2007 chevy aveo svm models. both alternators failed within 1 month of each other. dealer claims to have replaced 'many' alternators for aveo model in just the last week. dealer claims that aveo has this problem with alternators, but they are not covered under warranty. alternator causes massive electrical problems throughout car. one car lost battery, dome light, radio, wipers, throttle sensor due to malfunctioning alternator. alternator on aveo should be a recall item as it is a prevalent issue for the model. it should not be a 'dealer makes money' since car is 3 months out of warranty. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet aveo. the contact stated that the key was stuck in the ignition and the gear was unable to be shifted out of park. the key will not move from the locking position. in order to turn off the vehicle, the contact must disconnect the battery. the battery must then be reconnected to restart the vehicle. the dealer stated that the repair would cost $300. the failure mileage was 38,857.

I have contacted you before. first, some months after i purchased car when i turned off car ignition would not turn completely off. went on for two + years used wd forty finally got it to work most of the time. had to go back to car hours after driving until it would release key and turn all the way off. the dash light stayed on and drained the battery. i noticed, (not all the time) that the gas pedal under my foot felt really hot; thought it was because it was a warm day etc, but it happened in cool weather also. replaced head gasket seal twice still have oil leak. about three years ago + or -, had to have ball something in front wheel replaced. it broke again had it done again. when i accelerate left front wheel rattles. i drive slow in it and only go to school to get grand kids and to store primarily. went to a big city and car( dragged, would not accelerate )on up ramps, went to orlando once to visit family, same thing. two weeks after purchase car acted dead, would not start,took off battery cables, replaced them and car started. i called the ph # in owners manual at onset of problems, they said i would have to pay for diagnostics. i had repairs done by mechanics not assc'd w/ dealership, because of cost. i spent a lot on repairs from early on after purchase. i bought a car for reliability, to transport my gkids and get to go visit my family members i fl and tenn, but i only went to visit orlando once because i was afraid of driving in the mountains. *tr updated 4/1/15*cn

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet aveo. the contact stated that his headlights burned out every two months. the contact stated that the failure was electrical. the dealer and manufacturer have not been notified. the vin number was unknown. the failure mileage was 58,000.

Currently own a 2006 chevy aveo hatchback, with just over 20,000 miles. purchased new. have been noticing within the last month that occasionally when attempting to start vehicle, i get a buzzing noise, and engine will not start. must turn key again to get vehicle started. seems to be a defective starter or ignition switch. will be getting this checked asap. ***have also noticed this problem once in my mom's aveo sedan, also purchased new in 2006, currently with less than 10,000 miles. *nm

This is a condition that is a safty haszard. i have recently purchased a chevrolet aveo. i noticed the speed did not seem right. i had this checked by the daeler i purchased the car from. it was of 7-9%. the speed reads higher than you are going. this is not a constant. it may be right one time and read wrong the next. this leads to estimating you speed as to not become a hazard for other motorists. chevrolet informed me they know this and it is normal! they have no fix for this and basicly told me i will have to live with it! this is a car i purchased new! how can they sell a car with this fault? the number of failures is a guess- i have no way of knowing how many times it has happened.

Dt*: the contact stated the location of the horn is hard to find and excessive pressure is required to activate the horn. the owner's manual states the horn needs to be tapped to activate. the manufacturer has been alerted.
