2006 Chevrolet Aveo

SO I WAS AT HOME AND MY CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE AND IT CAUGHT ON FIRE IN THE INSIDE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. IT DAMAGED THE DASHBOARD AND THE WINDOW. I HAVE READ THAT IT IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE WHICH CAUSES IT TO CATCH ON FIRE. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERA140093 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER14V261 RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE

IN OCTOBER 2016 MY 2006 CHEVROLET AVEO LS HATCHBACK'S BATTERY DIED, UNABLE TO JUMPSTART ANYMORE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH HAS ILLUMINATED SOLID SINCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE GM DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TOO WASN'T ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE VEHICLE HAD 130,000 MILES AT THE TIME THE BATTERY DIED AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I NOW DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE WITH ME BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL MALFUNCTION.

MY 06 CHEVY AVEO HAS HAD ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED IT LAST YEAR. UNFORTUNATELY I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS PAPERWEIGHT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVEROLET AGAIN. THATS MY LARGEST ISSUE IS THAT I BOUGHT A CHEVY. AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER HAVING THE BATTERY DEAD TWICE BECAUSE OF THE ALTERNATOR GOING BAD TWICE. IM UP FOR INSPECTION AND THIS CAR WILL NOT PASS. READING HOW THIS ISSUE HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED FOR ANYONE AND CHEVROLET WONT OWN UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE, WHATS THE POINT IN EVEN TRYING BUT TO THROW THIS VEHICLE IN THE GARBAGE? LAST TIME I TOOK MY AVEO IN FOR A RECALL ON THE MODULE, THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT AND THEY DID NOT BECAUSE ITS STILL BURNING UP, SO I JUST TRY TO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD AND THREE YEAR OLD AND IF THOSE AIRBAGS RANDOMLY DEPLOY AND WE GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS.
