This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Arrived at home put my car in park and my key was stuck in the ignition and unable to shut my car off. Had to pull fuse to the computer and disconnect negative side of battery. Took it to a shop they advised no communication with shifter. Shop drilled out my old ignition lock cylinder and replaced with a new key lock cylinder. Seems to be working as of now after a $518.74 bill.
I have owned this car for less than a year and it has shut down while driving 4 times already. I have taken it to the dealer for repair they say they can not find anything wrong that they would have to be driving it when it shuts down. So this is how it happens I am on the highway driving and out of nowhere my entire car just shuts down and I am trying to coast to safety. Imagine that not being a safety issue and that this car has not been recalled yet. Recently I have been speaking with another person who owns the same exact car and he told me that his car has shut down just like that on several occasions. So if this is happening to me and another random person that I am speaking with I am wondering why this car is not being recalled. I am afraid that I am going to die in that car how safe can driving on a highway and have your car suddently shut down with cars flying past you at 70 or 80 miles an hours be. Please look into this I believe that there should be a recall on this car. I see below that you are asking for specific dates that this has happened I do not know those exact dates so I will pick a date.
Purchased this car with less than 30,000 miles from a local dealer. Problems including power loss and over heating within first few days of purchase. Chevy dealer "repair" we continue to have the same issues currently. Chevy escalates and says not a known issue, we should pay thousands to repair head gasket even though there tech support says to damage to gasket is not showing up when tested. Dangerous small vehicle that looses power for unknown reason and overheats for unknown reason. So far it can not be repaired. Many consumer blogs and same complaints. Thousands of blogs.
After putting tge car in park I couldn't get the key out of the ignition. It's stuck in the accessory position and won't budge. I looked it up a lot of people have this sams problem with the Aveo.
