1. multiple times, my driver side door lock has completely fallen into the door. I have probably had this issue "repaired" five to six times, by both the Chevrolet dealer where I bought the car, as well as my own mechanic. 2. things that were wrong when we first brought the car to the dealer for repairs in early April 2014. This is the list we gave them, modified for space: *clock a couple years ago, the clock in my car stopped working. Often, the clock would read 1:00 when I turned the car on, no matter what time it was. Sometimes, it would randomly display another time. Eventually, it just stopped turning on altogether. Player three times, the radio and/or cd player have turned on and off by themselves. This has not happened recently. The cd player sometimes works just fine. Other times, it does not. When it does not work, it does one of two things. It will either spin and spin and spin and then spit the cd out, or, more often, it will read "error 7." I do not know if the latter is connected to the other issues described here, but the former (the turning on and off) probably is. Daytime running lights the daytime running lights no longer work. My regular mechanic tried replacing the bulbs, but new bulbs did not solve the problem. I must manually turn the lights on. Reverse lights sometimes the reverse lights come on when I put the car in reverse. Sometimes, they do not turn on when I put the car in reverse. Interior lights/gauges about 10 days ago, all the interior lights and gauge lights stopped turning on, even when I manually turn the headlights on. The car interior is completely dark. Fog lights I believe these might not be working either. Interior dome light the interior dome light burned out. My regular mechanic replaced the bulb, and that fixed the problem. Right tail light the right tail light is out.

I was driving and my daytime running lights first went off. The car still ran but the dash light indicating the lights were working also went off. This is something that happens intermittently. It can and has happened right when I start the car, or while driving on the road.

In addition to the daytime headlights randomly shutting off, the clock in the center of the dashboard will disappear until I turn on the headlights then it reappears. ~ just before the vehicle stalls just after starting in the morning here in the fla. Sun, all the gauges go up then back down. ~ this 2005 Chevrolet Aveo lt hatchback, is having more and more electrical problems but the dealer, rosner Chevrolet, refuses to fix the problem without a charge, since the vehicle is not a fire hazard or on a recall list. ~ I feel as though GM and the dealer, are hiding serious electrical issues from the buyer either due the cost of repairing the problem or due to some of the manufacturing being done in South Korea. Or until people start dying from these problems. ( or until we start getting lawyers ).

I was driving home from picking my kids up from school when my all my gauges stopped working. Then my brake lights and tail lights stopped working and then my car died while I was turning left across a two lane highway. My wife and 3 kids were nearly T boned by a semi. Two days prior I had to have the ignition replaced. I have seen hundreds of complaints about the same problem. I think GM should have a recall before somebody is killed over their faulty wiring.

2005 Aveo lt ~ day or night the safety headlights (headlights / other) will just shut off for no reason after being on for less than an hour. ~ it's not fun driving on I-95 here in East central fla. And all of the sudden your headlights disappear ! ! ! ~ one month after we bought the car (used) from rosner Chevrolet (melbourne, fla.) the front end suspension started squeaking, ~ and the thermostat housing came apart.

First, the interior dash lights stopped working on my 2005 Chevy Aveo. Then on my way back to my college the tail lights and brake lights stopped working. I had not known this until I was almost rear ended by an 18-wheeler who could not tell that I was hitting my brakes! finally after bringing the vehicle to the dealership it was determined that the gray and white splicer at the top right-hand corner of my fuse box, which connects the wires in the fuse box to the engine wire harness, was so badly burnt from the wires shorting each out spontaneously. They want to charge me $1,290 to replace the part, and that is not including labor fees! in hope to find a cheaper alternative, I called every junkyard and U-pull it location and none of them had the connector because they had already been pulled out and sold since this is such a common problem. As a college student who is paying her own way, I cannot afford to take care of a problem like this, especially when it is a manufacture defect! I heavily rely on my car to get to school and work, and it is terrible to be in such a predicament. I understand this is a very common problem with the same year make and model vehicle. It is absurd that we put our trust into 2005 Chevy Aveos only to have our lives put in danger when using them and then have to pay such a large amount of money to fix an issue that the manufacture is ultimately responsible for. There should be a recall for these issues! especially since so many people have been putting complaints in about it as early as 2007, only two years after the car was made! how many lives have to be put into danger before the right party is held responsible for this?! something has to be done about this because it's not fair!

Dashboard cluster lights began to malfunction intermittently then after two days they wouldn't illuminate at all. The gear shifter lights and one tail light were also affected. After repair it was determined a wire harness that leads to the underwood fuse box had melted shorting the electrical wires. Having spontaneously burned, the interior and exterior lights wouldn't work. This made it impossible to see the speedometer, fuel gauge, engine fluid monitoring gauges, etcetera. Also, the exterior lights affected made for a dangerous driving condition as well as a traffic offense. After researching this I learned there are many, many cases of exactly the same problem with exactly the same year, make, and model.

Letter from senator corker on behalf of constituent re issues with Chevrolet Aveo. The consumer stated the instrument panel lights went out on the dashboard. A mechanic informed the consumer, a part under the hood, in a fuse box, known as a splitter, had burned out. The consumer received a recall notice in July 2014 and the parts are still not available. Recall #14V261000 updated 02/23/15.

- Newport, TN, USA

Several customers have had this same problem with defective wiring inside of the fuse box in which the splice pack overheats and causes wires to melt. This causes the electrical systems to malfunction, brake lights to go out, turn signals to stop working, dash safety indicators to flicker on and off, the radio to stop working, and headlights to stop working. This is an ongoing problem that Chevy does not want to address but it has caused a car to stall in the middle of the highway and affects safety of the vehicle passengers, the driver, and the passengers in other vehicles. I feel that the 2004-2008 Chevy Aveo is a prime candidate for a recall because of safety issues.

The dashboard lights we intermittently working/not working around May. Turns to be a big problem when I drive at night since I cannot see the speed. Also, a couple of weeks ago the lights on the Pilot's side stopped working. Again, big problem because turns to be dangerous to drive at night. Luckily I do most of my driving during the day, but with the winter approaching, I'm taking my car to the garage for a fix. As you can see on the link attached, this is a common issue with this kind of cars: chevroletforum.com/forum/sonic-Aveo-new-11/dash-lights-Aveo-20707/.

- Bloomfield, CT, USA

The dashboard lights, gear selector lights, and right rear tail lights, all went out at the same time. I have replaced all of the bulbs possible and all of the fuses are normal and functional. This is a big safety issue because I can't tell my speed engine temp or fuel level while driving at night and I no longer have right taillights making my vehicle harder to see at night.
