Lets start from the beginning when i first bought the car my air bag light and clock light will go in and out over bumps more the air bag light. now and still the air bag light on dash is on and passenger air bag light above the clock says off when someone is sitting in the seat. 2nd my tail lights i go threw them like water. 3rd the thing in the passenger side back right next to the tire every winter i have a problem with wires or the whole thing braking. 3rd its says good gas mileage ya right. the gas gauge doesn't work proper ran outta gas a few times. i have replace battery and spark plugs now i having engine problems with engine light on the engine is riding rough my whole car is shaking i can not go to speed even when the gas petal is to the floor. i see a recall and now its closed the recall says degraded connection between ignition coil spark plug boots and spark plugs. pretty sure that's the cause. my body paint is coming off. it started coming off not even 2 months after i bought it . sometimes the radio and clock with air passenger light shuts off and will not come back on until i shut the car off and back on. the onstar stop working all together. the defrost doesn't work to well unless high. my overall of this car is a money hog to keep fixing parts. *tr

I have a 2009 aveo 4 door with hatchback i bought brand new in april 2010. we have had tons of issues with it. it had a battery leak due to a bad weld job that cracked the battery and acid went throught the engine area (and all over our new home's garage and drive) all the front end has been replaced from the axle, cv boots, lower control arms (just replaced yesterday). this has been an ongoing issue with mulitple trips to the dealer and stays in the shop. now--new issue---hubby was driving home in stop and go traffic and the car just stopped moving. it was revving up but the car was out of gear so he and his car pool buddy pushed it off the road, shut it off, and then tried to restart it but it did not want to start back up. they walked around it to see if they could see if anything was leaking and looked under the hood and seen nothing out of the ordinary. they got back in and it finally started up after 10 minutes or so and all was fine. took it to the dealer and when i checked in the guy popped the hood and pulled out the transmission fluid dip stick. he said "no freaking way" over and over again as he put drops of the fluid on his paper and smelled it. he said that the fluid was way dark and smelled burnt and there is no way a car with less the 15,000 miles on it should have that kind of transmission fluid. well they kept the car overnight called me today to tell me to come and get it that there is nothing wrong with it. that " the tech is unable to verify concern, scanned for codes and bulletins and found none" so therefore there is nothing wrong with it. next time it jumps out of gear to push the onstar button and have it towed to them and they will see if they can figure it out next time. i have a handicap son and we use that car since it gets great gas mileage to get to the doctor appointments farther away and i do not want to break down on the freeway with him. after reading that our lemon chevy is not alone with ...

On my 2009 chevrolet aveo5: the frame is not properly made (straight). a private repair facility and local dealership have concluded the same, and that it is not repairable. a certain part of the frame near the front end was improperly produced, causing the front end suspension to be unable to perform with reasonable function, and front tires to be unable to be placed on the vehicle properly for suitable control of the vehicle. this causes excessive tire wear, uneven tire wear, and an unreasonably low level of handling control. beginning mileage 000 because it was made this way, and current mileage is approximately 21500. the vehicle cannot be aligned into any published specifications. there are no published factory specifications for the front-end alignment, which indicates this problem may have been known by the manufacturer since production. the inadequate level of control and excessive amount of uneven tire wear present safety problems in handling, tire failure and possible rollover. this appears to be a consistent problem with the model of the car as a whole, and closer investigation will probably reveal a large number of crashes, injuries, and fatalities sourced directly to improperly placed frame components that are causing the lack of control in combination with tire instability. my 2009 chevy aveo is currently in my possession. the problem has been acknowledged and deemed not repairable by both the private repair facility and dealership. both have also been confirmed it is not possible to align the car within any published specifications. a case is currently open with the manufacturer on my car, and so far, appears to be progressing properly towards resolution. however, i strongly urge investigation to avoid unnecessary crashes, injuries, and fatalities. incident date is date problem first identified, but again, the car was made this way, and various symptoms have been present for the life of the car. *tr

My mother swerved to keep from hitting a vehicle entering the highway. she ended up in the oncoming traffic lane. her car was hit by a pick up truck, spun and was hit again by the truck. traffic was not heavy and it was on a rural road. her air bags did not deploy in spite of multiple strikes. we will never know if her car cut off due to an ignition problem or it was faulty air bags. she sustained catastrophic injuries including a broken neck, broken back, broken wrists, broken pelvis, broken leg, broken ribs and chest injuries. she was air lifted to a trauma center. she died on 6/9/09. the air bags never deployed which could have helped reduce her injuries. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet aveo. the contact stated that dust and debris from the road enters the vehicle. the dust makes it difficult to breath and see when driving. the vehicle was taken to the dealer in which a technician stated that because the vents are located in the wheel wells, excessive amounts of dust can enter. he then added that there was no available remedy for the failure. she contacted the manufacturer and was advised by a representative that because the vehicle sits low to the ground, dust intrusion is normal. the failure mileage was 800. the current mileage was 2900. updated 10/13/09. *lj the consumer received a letter from gm which stated what she was experiencing was normal. by federal law, the vehicle was designed with venting in the trunk over the wheel wells. an excessive amount of use on dirt roads would allow dust to enter the vehicle via the trunk. it also stated the vehicle was low to the ground as well will also contributed to the condition and there was no factory defect with the vehicle. updated 10/15/09
