2009 Chevrolet Aveo Electrical System Problems

I HAD A ACCIDENT THE CAR COUGHT ON FIRE.

HELLO. MY AVEO STARTED, AND WHEN I TRIED TO SHUT IT OFF, IT WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED UNTIL I PULLED A FUSE FROM THE ENGINE. I RETURNED THE FUSE TO ITS ALLOCATED SPOT, BUT NOW THERE IS ZERO LIFE IN THE AVEO WHEN I ATTEMPT TO START IT. THE LIGHTS COME ON, AND I HAVE TRIED JUMPING THE BATTERY ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THIS IS THE SECOND SUCH OCCURRENCE IN THREE YEARS. LAST TIME I PAID TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC, AND ALL THEY DID WAS JUMP IT. STARTED RIGHT UP, THEY SAID.

COOLANT TEMPERATURE ENGINE HEATING UP

WHEN I GO TO TURN OFF MY CAR IT WILL STILL RUN EVEN IF THE KEY IS OUT OF THE IGNITION. I SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY HAZARD.I HAVE A 4 YEAR IN MY CAR WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING.I MADE IT HOME OFF THE HIGH WAY WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT WHEN I GO TO PARK MY CAR IT WON'T TURN OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO STALL AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,432.

TPMS SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE, CAN NOT BE RESET OR RELEARNED/REPROGRAMMED BY DEALERS. NEED REPLACEMENT OF SOFTWARE WITHIN ECU OR TPMS MODULE, AFTER IMPORT FROM GM KOREA DAEWOO PLANTS. SOFTWARE ISSUES?

LESS THAN 30,000 MILES. PERSISTENT PROBLEM (SINCE 2012): ENGINE SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD BEFORE EACH OCCURRENCE. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. ON 08/17/2016 AROUND 11:45 A.M. CAR SHUT OFF BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ON THE MIDDLE OF A MULTI-LANE (6+) HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW (IT WORKED ) ON THE DRIVER SIDE, I PRESSED THE WARNING LIGHT (IT WORKED). AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS CAR STARTED, AND I DROVE AWAY. THE CAR WORKED WELL FOR A WHILE, TOOK SIDE ROADS(35MPH SPEED LIMIT). CAR SHUT OFF BY ITSELF A SECOND TIME. I WAS ABLE TO RESTARTED AND MADE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION. I HAVE REPORTED THIS LAST SITUATION TO CHEVROLET AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER, AND ONLY AFTER PRESSURING THEY PROVIDED A 100.00 DOLLAR COUPON TO GET THE CAR CHECKED. CHEVROLET CLAIMS THEY HAD NO INFORMATION ON MY CAR'S RECORD OF SHUTTING DOWN BY ITSELF, THAT THEY DEALER ONLY REPORTS THE REPAIRS. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE DEALER INVOICES FROM 2012 READS: "VEHICLE STALLED", " ANOTHER INVOICE READS "CAR DIED ONCE", ETC. AND ON THE NOTES IT INCLUDES "UNABLE TO REPLICATE CLIENTS CONCERNS". JUST BECAUSE THE DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE, IT DOES NOT MEAN THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE. THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON US AND WE WERE LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY WITH CARS GOING 65+MPH. THE SUDDEN COMPLETE SHUT OFF OF THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF ANY ROAD IS A GREAT DANGER NOT ONLY TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR BUT TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL. OTHER PROBLEMS: CLOCK/TIME GETS RESTARTED EACH TIME I START THE CAR (AND IT IS NEVER RIGHT). IN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, DURING THE MORNING, THE CAR WOULD NOT START (BUT RADIO AND WINDOWS WORK), THE CAR WOULD TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES TO GET STARTED.

I AM WRITING TO YOU WITH REGARDS TO MY CHEVY AVEO 2009 LT,WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MY WIFE USUALLY DRIVES THIS CAR AND LAST WEEK, SUDDENLY MY CAR WOULDN'T STOP RUNNING. SHE WAS AT HER WORK PLACE AND SHE TOOK OFF THE KEYS BUT LATER REALIZED THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, SO SHE RETURNED BACK AND COULDN'T SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.. SO I HAD TO LEAVE MY WORK AND TAKE THE CAR TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH, BUT SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECENT GM IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. BUT MY QUESTION IS: A. WHY WOULD THE SWITCH FAIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, AND WHAT IF MY WIFE LEFT THE CAR RUNNING ALL DAY AND IF IT WOULD'VE TAKEN OFF BY ITSELF. B. I HAVE BEEN HEARING A LOT OF NEWS ABOUT CHEVY RECALL OF FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES, DOES THIS NOT FALL IN THAT CATEGORY? ELSE, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU COULD FIND WITH THE FAULTY SWITCH AS THIS MIGHT BE A HINDRANCE IF THE CAR DOESN'T STOP AT ALL. HOPE YOU CAN PROVIDE ME WITH A PROPER GUIDANCE OR IF THIS FELL UNDER THE RECALL ITSELF?

HAD DRIVEN MY CAR EARLIER THAT DAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. MID-AFTERNOON I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO RUN ERRANDS AND IT WOULDN'T START. WHEN I WOULD TURN THE KEY NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN, NO LIGHTS CAME ON, NO ATTEMPT FOR ENGINE TO TURN OVER. NOTHING. QUICK CHECK CONFIRMED BATTERY WAS CHARGED, FUSES GOOD, AND POWER GETTING TO FUSES. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. INSPECTION BY GM TECHNICIAN FOUND THE INSTRUMENT MODULE HAD OVERHEATED AND BEEN DAMAGED, WHICH DISABLED THE IGNITION AND WOULDN'T ALLOW CAR TO START. ISSUE SOUNDS SIMILAR TO THE RECENT RECALLS ON THE 2004-2008 AVEO'S, WHERE "THE PROBLEM CONCERNS THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT MODULE IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT COULD OVERHEAT, MELT AND CAUSE A FIRE." GM TECHNICIAN NOTED THAT HE COULD TELL THE INSTRUMENT MODULE WAS MELTED CAUSE HE COULD SMELL THE BURNING WHEN HE OPEN UP THE DASH. *TR
