What's with aveo's passenger side windshield wiper? It skids off the window and wipes the trim. When I first bought my car I thought someone made a mistake and put on the wrong size. When they needed replaced, I replaced the whole arm with a set matching maker specifications. And made no improvement at all. The tip of the passenger side wiper still swings clear off the window. Did somebody make off with the designer's ruler? Any chance they might give it back? I'd really like a windshield wiper that fits; don't really need one for the trim...

The front signal light on the driver's side stopped working, so I purchased a bulb and when my son went to replace it, it was working. About two weeks later, I went to start the car and the battery was dead. The battery was charged and it worked the next day. The windshield wiper fluid motor did not work for about two years, but recently, it started working again. This sounds like an electrical problem. I have received a recall notice for the drl, but they do not have the part.

I bought this car 8 mths ago, a few weeks after I bought the car the windshield wiper just flew off, a few weeks after that the cruise control quit working, a month after that the A/C kept switching off on its own and back on hours later, now the engine light has come on and the car hesitates and doesn't appear to be shifting gears when its suppose to, I took it to the dealer, they said it was a PCM update which they didn't charge me, a few days later it is hesitating again, the engine light is back on, the cruise control still doesn't work. Talk about a lemon.

I have purchased a 2005 chevy aveo approximately 3 years ago since then I have had to have the drivers door lock reinstalled the bolt holding it on fell off . The right side windshield wiper has worn out 8 times due to it extending beyond the windshield and ripping the end of the blade and the last event was two weeks ago the key would not come out of the steering column due to the switch under the shift column failed and had to replace it naturally it was a dealer only item my car has 53000 miles and I was always a chevy fan but now I am rethinking this. Hope no one else has this problem but if you do disconnect the battery terminal and the key will go into the lock position allowing it to be removed.

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.

2006 & 2007 chevy aveo svm models. Both alternators failed within 1 month of each other. Dealer claims to have replaced 'many' alternators for aveo model in just the last week. Dealer claims that aveo has this problem with alternators, but they are not covered under warranty. Alternator causes massive electrical problems throughout car. One car lost battery, dome light, radio, wipers, throttle sensor due to malfunctioning alternator. Alternator on aveo should be a recall item as it is a prevalent issue for the model. It should not be a 'dealer makes money' since car is 3 months out of warranty.
