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
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.
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Aveo. When the contact pulled in the driveway and attempted to turn off the vehicle, the electrical power shut off. As a result, the contact was unable to roll the windows up or down, unlock the door with the switch, and the key would not turn to the off position in the ignition. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14V261000 (exterior lighting). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

My Chevy Aveo has had el cervical issues for the last 3 years. I have noticed that there is a recall for this year on lighting but my VIN is not associated with this recall and I am having the sam issues. And now nothing on the drivers side of my car is working. Blinkers, brake light and more. My light for my radio do not work as well. I have 2 kids and my car is not safe with the electrical issues going on with it. I have called the Chevrolet garage where it was purchased and all I am being told is there anything S nothing they can do cause my VIN is not listed with the recalls.

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."

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.
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.

I was traveling on the Kansas turnpike returning home from a family funeral when I noticed smoke coming from under the steering wheel. I pulled to the side of the road at mile marker 116. My son and I both got out of the car and within 5 minutes flames began shooting out from around the steering wheel. It took state troopers approx 10 to 15 minutes to arrive on scene and approx 20 to 25 minutes for the fire dept to arrive. By the time state patrol arrived on scene the car was fully engulfed in flames.
