I was driving to my mother's house, the car was not shifting right and the engine was whining, all of a sudden I smelled smoke and seen fire under the hood. Gm would only fix the harness , the vehicle would start again but you could not drive it. No power in the engine. So I had to eat $6400.00 dollars I owed and traded it with carbone auto in yorkville new york. They sold me a car with the ABS lights on the traction lights on, the tire pressure lights come on and my doors lock and I have to climb over to the other seat to get out. The salesman knew these lights were on before I signed the papers and my car is still not fixed. This past winter I had no heat and got caught in an ice storm and my windows iced right over I could not see and hit a pole by my driveway and dented and scratch the whole right side of my car. It is carbone auto that made it so my aveo caught fire. They would not fix it, the car would never shift right the motor would whine out and they said oh that is the way a 1.6 liter car runs. I had the fidelity extract warranty and they would not fix the aveo I have lost 6400 dollars on these cars and it is the dealers fault, what do I do now my 2008 impala VIN is [xxx] the salesman name is [xxx] he knew these lights were on before I signed the papers he said it would be fixed. 8 months later still not fixed.

2007 chevrolet aveo. Consumer states technical/ mechanical problems with vehicle *tgw the consumer stated the ABS light illuminated and remained on. When the consumer engaged the brake pedal, the pedal was forced back up again, making a grinding noise and then proceeded to go another three or four feet before the vehicle would stop. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer. Upon inspection, it was determined the left and right speed sensors were faulty and had shorted out which caused the ABS light to illuminate. *jb updated 12/01/15*lj

The ABS warning light comes on after brake failure. Sometimes while driving the vehicle or making right turn bends my brakes fail and I can not stop if I had to. This is a very important problem that needs to be corrected. I have almost had numerous accidents because of this problem!! It can be fixed but chevrolet should fix it at no cost to me. It is a safety recall as far as I am concerned! This is not a minor problem and other vehicles of my make, model, and year are more than likely experiencing the same problems that I am having! The exact part that needs to be replaced are the ABS wheel speed sensors for the front left and right brake.

Chevrolet aveo 2007 ABS braking system failure to brake during slow speeds and one time on the highway. I currently have 98,000+ miles on a chevrolet aveo 2007 and while recently getting several services completed in the $500 range I got new brake pads on my vehicle because they were worm out. I was also having breaking problems while parking my vehicle. The ABS don't allow the breaks to engage and I have to use the emergency break. Its now been around 3 months since november 2009 when the ABS breaking system began to fail and my vehicle stopping has gotten worse. The dealer refuses to cover the parts under warranty nor to check the problem for free. I have replaced the fuse when this first occurred as hearing the PCM can reset causing the system to work again as it did until this year. I recently brought my vehicle into the chevrolet dealer whom has recently diagnosed my vehicle for $69.99 plus tax. A speed sensor bad was diagnosed and is getting fixed. The dealer told me this part isn't covered under warranty and cost $150. The ABS going bad on the highway was the final call when pulling off the interstate at 35 MPH and during parking/slow speeds I'm required to use the parking break. The warranty doesn't cover this part and costs $150.00 plus labor hours. I feel as this is a safety recall issue and should be covered by the dealer. Based on being required to use the emergency break to stop my vehicle during some stops I find this a very huge safety concern.

I bought a chevrolet aveo one month ago from a dealer in egypt, and when I was making a turn on the highway , I used the brakes slightly and what happened is that the car began moving on its left side , then flipped over two times on the road. The problem is that the airbags didn't open, I was injured ... When I went to the certified dealer , he told me that this car doesn't have airbags, while all the brochures on the net and on chevrolet's site say that frontal airbags is a standard feature in the car.. The other problem is that during the brake, the tires locked which made the car move by its side rather than doing the brake, and I was told that chevrolet aveo lacks ABS system... I want to know the truth because I think I was deceived in the safety of this car.. Ps. I have the pictures of the crash..
