2008 Chevrolet Aveo

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET AVEO. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE TRUNK LID OPENED INDEPENDENTLY. ADDITIONALLY, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO ENGAGE IN GEAR. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000. *JS

I WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY IN SLOW AND GO TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING AT A SLOW PACE, ABOUT 15 MPH.THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30 MPH. WHEN HE HIT ME, HE FORCED MY VEHICLE INTO THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF. MY CAR BURST INTO FLAMES ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE FLAMES WERE COMING UP FROM THE ENGINE. MY CAR IS TOTALED AS A RESULT OF THIS. I AM 12 WEEKS PREGNANT WITH TWINS. ONE OF MY PLACENTA'S HAS A TEAR IN IT AND IS BLEEDING AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT. I WILL HAVE TO BE ON BED REST FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY PREGNANCY. I AM AT RISK OF MISCARRYING ONE OR MAYBE BOTH OF MY BABIES.

WHEN DRIVING AT 40 MPH OR OVER THE ANTANI MAKES A LOUD HUMMING INSIDE THE CAR YOU CANT HEAR ITS SO LOUD . SO IF THE COPS FIRE OR EMSA WAS COMING YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HEAR THEM OR OTHER THINGS YOU MAY NEED TO HEAR . THE ANTANI IS ON TOP THE ROOF AND LONG AT CENTER FRONT OF THE ROOF THE WIND HITS IT AND THE HUMMING STARTS VERY LOUD . EVERY TIME I DRIVE 40 MPH AND ABOVE IT STARTS TO HUMMING AND IT IS THE ANTANI. *TR

MY SISTER RECENTLY CUT HER HAND WHEN SHE GRABBED THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE ON MY 2008 CHEVROLET AVEO. WHEN WE LOOKED CLOSER AT THE HANDLE, IT APPEARS TO BE SEPARATING AT THE TOP JOINED SEAMS. IT HAS A VERY SHARP EDGE TO IT SIMILAR TO THE LID OF A PULL TOP CAN. I DON'T TRANSPORT MANY PEOPLE SO I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT'S CONDITION. I'M GLAD THAT THE INCIDENT DID NOT INVOLVE A CHILD BECAUSE THEY COULD HAVE SUSTAINED A SERIOUS CUT. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY WRECKS OR DAMAGE TO MY CAR TO RESULT IN THE DOOR HANDLE SEPARATING. I FELL THIS IS A SERIOUS ENOUGH SITUATION TO WARRANT REPORTING. I'VE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONSISTENTLY MALFUNCTIONING. IT'S BEEN SUPPOSEDLY FIXED TWICE..BUT IT STILL MALFUNCTIONS. *TR

PRESENT PROBLEM: 2008 CHEVROLET AVEO ON 09/30/2009, I CUT A FINGER ON MY LEFT HAND TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. A BREAK IN 'SILVER COATING MATERIAL' ON HANDLE WAS WHAT CAUSED THE CUT. I WAS THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW THE BAD HANDLES WILL BE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. EITHER THE DRIVER OR THE PASSENGER BEHIND THE DRIVER, AS THESE TWO HANDLES ARE PROBABLY FORMED IN THE SAME TYPE MOLD. MY FINGER WAS BLEEDING AND STINGING IN CUT AREA. I HAVE HAD TO TAPE THE HANDLE OF THE CAR TO USE IT TO GET OUT NOW. CUT CAME AS TOTAL SURPRISE. ARE OTHER PEOPLE DRIVING THIS CAR GETTING THEIR FINGERS CUT TOO? *TR
