Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I arrived at the gas station to fill up and when I attempted to open the gas cap shield, the mechanism jammed and I had to pry it open. Then a few moments later, when I attempted to lock the door from the outside, the entire locking mechanism on the driver's side fell inside the interior of the car door. I have contacted the dealer and was told to bring it in. However, until I do there is no way to lock the door!”
NHTSA complaint #10181526, filed 2007-02, 31,000 miles“I purchased a 2005 chevy AVEO and I have had nothing but problems ever since. After 1 year the car broke down. The idler stuck at full-throttle and burned my timing belt off. Not only the engine but the car was rendered useless after that. I had to replace the engine (my pops did really) and now the second engine has done the very same thing at only 18,000 miles. Twice I was lucky enough to be in a position where my daughter was not with me at the time and I could push my car off of the road myself and not get killed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10267341, filed 2009-04, 90,000 miles“Timing belt idler pulley failure plastic breaks apart. Damaging internal parts causing engine to stop running. With loss of power steering power brakes”
NHTSA complaint #10649584, filed 2014-10, 48,000 miles“Nothing happened, but I saw that the Chevrolet AVEO's status was deemed, recall incomplete, and I wanted to know what I should do with the car; if there are any repairs that need to be done or if repairs cannot be done. I don't have any photos because I don't understand in depth why this vehicle was recalled, but I wanted to know if this is very concerning or not.”
