Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WHENEVER I GO TO PUT GAS IN MY CAR, SOME OF IT GOES ON THE GROUND. NOT ALL OF THE GAS GOES ON THE GROUND, BUT A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT I PURCHASED. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT I CAN'T HARDLY SEE WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT. ALSO, MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON? THERE'S ONE THERE AND NOTHING BIGAMY WRONG WITH IT THAT I CAN SEE. THE STEREO.....ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SPEAKER WORKS, THE OTHER THREE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL....PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE FEW THINGS OR GIVE ME SOME SORT OF IDEA OF WHAT I CAN DO
VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. AN HOUR LATER WHEN IT WAS STARTED AGAIN, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO COME ON AND REMAIN INOPERABLE. BULBS, SWITCH, AND RELAY HAVE ALL BEEN CHECKED AND VERIFIED TO BE OPERABLE.
RECALL FOR DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS OVER HEATING DIDN'T APPLY TO MY PARTICULAR CAR, BUT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM IN MY CAR REGARDLESS. GROUND WIRES IN MY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAVE FRIED AND LEFT SCORCH MARKS ON HEADLIGHT CONNECTION. NO ACTUAL FIRE YET JUST A MELTED PLASTIC UNDER THE HOOD. NOT SURE IF MY CAR IS INVALID AS HAVE BEEN FIXED OR JUST NOT COVERED BUT IN EITHER CASE PART IS FAILING.
SINCE THE DRL MODULE WAS REPLACED AS A RECALL ITEM, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EACH HEADLIGHT EVERY 2-8 WEEKS DUE TO BURNING OUT. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE SO-CALLED "REPAIR."
MY HEADLIGHTS ARE COMPLETELY BURNING OUT. I'VE CHANGED THEM A COUPLE TIMES AND MY FATHER TOLD ME MY WIRES KEEP BURNING OUT. ALSO MY FUEL SYSTEM KEEPS NOT GIVING ENOUGH FUEL. I KEEP GETTING A GAS LINE EMISSIONS WHEN I GET A CHECK ON MY CAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THEN OFF A FEW DAYS LATER. ALSO MY SEATBELT IN THE BACK KEEP COMING OUT.

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.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING AND NOW HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK AT ALL. *TR
IN JULY 2014, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE #14093 FROM CHEVROLET/GM ADVISING OF A FIRE HAZARD INVOLVING MY DAYTIME RUNNING HEADLIGHTS. THE NOTICE ADVISED THE PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE... I CALLED THEIR 800 NUMBER SEVERAL TIMES UP THROUGH TODAY TO CHECK ON GETTING THIS HAZARD FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, TODAY IS 11-22-14, AND THEY STILL ARE NOT READY TO REMEDY THE HAZARD. IN ADDITION, MY INTERIOR LIGHT STOPPED WORKING A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND IT'S NOT THE LIGHT BULB BECAUSE I REPLACED IT. I WOULD LIKE THIS REPAIRED TOO. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, AND IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT FOUR MONTHS HAVE NOW GONE BY SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE, I STRONGLY FEEL THAT CHEVROLET/GM SHOULD OFFER/PAY FOR A SAFE LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THEY REMOVE THE FIRE HAZARD. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
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. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V261000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING: HEADLIGHTS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
WHEN THE CAR STARTS AIR BAG LIGHT GETS DEPLOYED THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2011. THE FRONT PANEL GETS OVERHEATED- DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BURNING FUMES WERE PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DLR MODULE WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V261000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

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 $60.00 FOR THE NEW LIGHTS. THERE WAS NO IMPROVEMENT. I STILL CAN'T SEE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. *TR
TL* 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.
HEADLIGHT FAILED. I HAVE OWNED THIS AUTO 4 YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 6 HEADLIGHTS. I JUST GOT A TICKET BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHT WAS OUT, AND I HAD REPLACED A HEADLIGHT LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE SO MANY HEADLIGHTS IN ONE VEHICLE IN ALL MY 49 YEARS OF DRIVING. THESE HEADLIGHTS CANNOT BE REPLACED BY THE OWNER, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES SPECIALIZED TOOLS. I HAVE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE EVERY TIME A HEADLIGHT GOES OUT, SO THE COST IN 3X WHAT THE LAMP ALONE COSTS AT A PARTS STORE. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR
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. *TR
