This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Unsure what is going O. but turned on running lights and one head light comes on with it and turn it to auto for the lights and the other side turns one and the other side isn't working.
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.
Daylight bulb fused and electrical dashboard instruments stopped working. Ignition key got stuck and the gear changing stick would not get out of parking gear. There was a faint burning smell. Similar incidence has happened multiple times, everytime. Within 2 weeks of repair.
My headlights are grey on the bottom so I can't see to drive at night. I changed headlights but there appeared to be a big problem installing the new lights. I paid $60 for the new lights. There was no improvement. I still can't see to drive at night.
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.
