| 2005 | POWER TRAIN | I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET AVEO THAT HAS GIVEN ME NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO I NOTICED I COULD NOT SHIFT MY CAR OUT OF PARK I HAVE TO USE A SCREWDRIVER TO SHIFT MY GEAR OUT OF PARK. SOON AFTER I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. I BOUGHT A BOX OF FUSES BUT THIS ONLY FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR LESS THAN A WEEK. EVERY TIME I PUT A NEW FUSE IN THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT BACK OUT IN A DAY OR TWO. ONE DAY WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER IT WAS STILL UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. IT WAS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAUSING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS AND COST OVER $2,000 TO FIX. A YEAR LATER THE PROBLEMS STARTED AGAIN I CAN'T MOVE MY GEAR WITHOUT USING A SCREW DRIVER, MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS ARE OUT. IF I SLAM THE HOOD OF MY CAR ONE HEADLIGHT WILL COME ON WHICH SHOWS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE WIRING. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND HOLD MODE LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY. I FEEL THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THERE ARE NO BRAKE LIGHTS WHICH CAN EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE BECAUSE OF NO BRAKE LIGHTS A $125 TICKET. I AM IN A BIND BECAUSE I REALLY NEED MY CAR FOR WORK BUT I DO NOT HAVE $2,000 (NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY) TO FIX THIS CAR ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN MONTHS FROM NOW. ALSO, I HAVE NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL FROM THE CAR THAT HAS ME CONCERNED. I HAVE READ SO MANY INTERNET POST FROM OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS CAR SERIOUSLY NEED TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS ENDANGERING PEOPLE LIVES. *KB |
