2010 Chevrolet Aveo complaints

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY NOT STAYING CHARGED. WE WOULD GET READY TO DRIVE IT AND WE WOULD NEED TO GET A JUMP START. IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE WE CONSIDERED BUYING A PORTABLE CHARGER SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. IN THE LAST INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AT ONCE. THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND THEN THE CAR STOPPED. AS WE WERE WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, A MECHANIC WHO WAS DRIVING BY LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND DISCOVERED THAT OUR SERPENTINE BELT AND ANOTHER BELT HAD BROKEN. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS ENGINE DAMAGE AND THE HEAD GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND POSSIBLY THE WHOLE ENGINE. ALSO, WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES NUMEROUS TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THEY KEEP GOING FLAT. ACCORDING TO A CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEBSITE, THESE ISSUES SEEM TO BE COMMON WITH AVEO OWNERS.

AT POINT OF COLLISION, NEITHER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND SEAT BELT DID NOT WORK EFFECTIVELY TO RESTRAIN MY ADOLESCENT SON. IF THE SEAT BELT HAD RESTRAINED HIM PROPERLY AND THE AIR BAG HAD INDEED DEPLOYED; HIS TEETH MARKS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN EMBEDDED INTO THE DASH. I FIRMLY BELIEVE HE AND MYSELF WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFERED THE AMOUNT OF INJURIES IF THE MECHANISMS HAD WORKED PROPERLY. I HAD A HEAD INJURY AND WHIPLASH, ALSO. *JS

UNABLE TO SEE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER CANNOT CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. 2010 CHEVROLET AVEO WINDSHIELD WASHER IS USELESS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE WASHER FLUID HITS LOW ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE AT A STOP AND IS UNABLE TO GET PAST THE WIPERS AT LEGAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS BEGAN IMMEDIATELY UPON PURCHASE. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THREE TIMES, AND THE PROBLEM IS UNRESOLVED. THE DEALER CHECKED FIVE OR SIX SIMILAR CARS ON THE LOT AND ALL OF THEM HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. CHANGED WASHER FLUID AND CLEANED LINES. CHANGED WASHER PUMP. DEALER DOES NOT BELIEVE REPLACING THE NOZZLES WITH NEW ONES FROM THE FACTORY WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL SIMILAR VEHICLES CHECKED HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. *JB
