2007 Chevrolet Aveo Complaint Log

While driving, the vehicle began experiencing repeated electrical failures including blown fuses, inoperative headlights and brake lights, and the transmission becoming locked in PARK. When the fuse blows, the gear shift cannot be moved out of PARK and the ignition key cannot be removed, leaving the vehicle stuck and unable to be driven or safely turned off. The brake lights and daytime running lights also stop working, making the vehicle unsafe to operate in traffic. This condition has been occurring repeatedly and requires frequent fuse replacement just to move or shut off the vehicle. An emergency override hole on the shifter had already been exposed, indicating the problem existed before and the vehicle was previously being forced out of PARK manually. A tow truck driver had to use this override to move the vehicle. The airbag warning light is also illuminated, indicating the safety restraint system may not function properly in a crash. These failures create a serious safety risk due to loss of exterior lighting, inability to shift, inability to turn the ignition off, and possible airbag malfunction. This failure is consistent with a known defect involving the Daytime Running Light (DRL) module overheating and causing electrical shorts, as documented in manufacturer recall and technical service bulletins for this vehicle. The problem has been reproduced multiple times and remains unresolved.

The airbag warning light has remained illuminated since I acquired the vehicle in January 2025. The warning light stays on continuously and does not reset. This indicates a fault in the airbag system, and I have been advised that when this light is on, the airbags may be disabled and may not deploy in a crash. The vehicle has also experienced ongoing electrical problems, including lighting failures, blown fuses, and shift-interlock malfunctions, which suggests an electrical system fault affecting multiple safety-related systems. These issues create concern that the airbag control system may be impacted by the same electrical malfunction. The vehicle has not been repaired or diagnosed by a dealer for the airbag issue. The condition is still present and the warning light remains illuminated. This failure creates a serious safety risk because the airbags may not function in the event of a collision.

BEEN SMELLING SOMETHING THAT SIMILAR TO PLASTIC BUT COULD NOT LOCATE ANYTHING BUT NOW I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FUSES BLOWN FOR LOW BEAMS AND DRL. ULTIMATELY ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS HAVE NOW GONE OUT ALONG WITH NO TAIL LIGHTS OR LOW BEAMS OR DRLS AT ALL AND NO HORN. DEALER IS SAYING THAT THE FUSE BLOCK IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT THE CAR ONLY HAS 83,000 AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OUT THERE FOR THE DRL MODULE MELTING OR CATCHING ON FIRE BUT LOW AND BEHOLD MY CAR IS NOT ON THAT RECALL BUT LOOKS TO ME THAT IT SHOULD BE. IN ADDITION TO THE LIGHTS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK AND THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I DID ALSO THINK IT ODD THAT MY KEY WOULD BE HOT TO TOUCH WHEN IT WOULD RELEASE ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS LEADING UP TO THIS FAILURE. THE FIRST INSTANCE WHEN THE FAILURE INITIALLY STARTED WITH THE LIGHTS AND ALL THAT I COULD NOTICE WAS WHILE I WAS IN A PARKING LOT CRANKING THE CAR, BUT THE SECOND TIME AFTER CHANGING OUT THE FUSE, THE FUSE BLEW AGAIN AFTER I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD IN 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 3 MONTHS AND KNOW ONCE IT'S ON WON'T WORK IF AND WHEN I NEED IT. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD BE ADDRESSING AS IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER RELATED ISSUE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE DOWN TO MY LOCAL AUBURN CHEVEROLET AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE CLOCK ON MY DASHBOARD WHICH WORKS PERFECTLY FINE IN ORDER TO FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT AND SHOULD BE A BIG RED FLAG. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GM ADDRESS THESE ISSUES INSTEAD OF SWEEPING IT UNDER THEIR PROVERBIAL RUG. THEY ARE PUTTING CUSTOMERS AT GREAT RISK.

I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THE CHEVROLET AVEO ONLY HAS FRONTAL AIR BAGS AND SHOULD HAVE MORE AIR BAGS ESPECIALLY FOR SIDE COLLISIONS.

HAVE TO CHANGE HEADLIGHTS EVERY OTHER MONTH. WHEN I CHANGE ONE THE OTHER WENT OUT IMMEDIATELLY. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHANGE HEADLIGHT BULBS. TOLD DEALER HE SAID BY BULB FROM THEM?? I BOUGHT CORRECT BULB???? THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I BOUGHT CAR IN 2010..IVE REPLACED OVER 7/8 TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING ON I95 MY RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO WITHOUT WARNING AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. IT HAD 63,504 MILES ON IT AND THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN DONE LESS THAN 1600 MILES EARLIER. NO LIGHTS OR WARNING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY.

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY AVEO THAT I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE > HEADLIGHT ON 5 TIMES IN THE 4 YRS I'VE HAD IT. ALSO, FOR THE PAST 2 YRS I > HAVEN'T HAD ANY RADIO LIGHTS. THERE'S A RECALL ON THE RUNNING LIGHT > MODULES FOR THIS YEAR, THE CARS CAN CATCH FIRE. RECALL NUMBER: 14V261000. THE MODULE ON MY CAR IS MELTED AND BLACK. I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS. I'VE CALLED CHEVY SEVERAL TIMES > BUT GET TOLD THERE'S NO RECALL ON MY CAR. DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE CAR CATCHES FIRE TO DO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS MODULE HAD A RECALL ON IT. I MADE AN APT AT THE LOCAL DEALER LAST WEEK AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY TO GET THE RECALL DONE. RECALL NUMBER IS 14236. THEY DID NOT FIX IT, SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART EVEN THOUGH I CONTACTED THEM LAST WEEK AND GAVE THEM THE VIN AND THE RECALL NUMBER. I PICKED UP THE CAR WITH THE INTENT OF TAKING IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND IT CAUGHT FIRE ON THE WAY HOME AND DESTROYED THE CAR.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER (HUBER AUTOMOTIVE) NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CLAIMED TO FIX IT BUT IT KEEPS RETURNING ON

ON 7/6/2015 MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED, THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE WHICH WOULD COST ALMOST $900 TO GET FIXED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY DUE TO THIS FAILURE. I AM SHOCKED THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT COVERED BY GM AND HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. MY VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT THIS PART.

1. ON JUNE 14, 2015, THE RED PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND ALL IT SAID WAS THAT THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG MODULE. NHTSA'S DATABASE STATES IN SERVICE BULLETIN #SB-12-09-41-001, ID #10047441 THAT BUICK/CHEVROLET IS PROVIDING INFORMATION REGARDING COUNTERFEIT VEHICLE AIRBAG MODULE FOR 2006-2010 AVEO (AND OTHER MODELS). ANY VEHICLE AIRBAG DEFECT OR COUNTERFEIT PART IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM! WHAT "INFORMATION" HAVE CHEVROLET/BUICK PROVIDED??? I AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT ANY PASSENGER IN OUR 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO IS AT GREAT RISK! 2.
