This is not my vehicle. I am reporting fraud by gm. Please review the information I am supplying because the new gm failed to do so.*Dt *js

Nothing happened, but I saw that the chevrolet aveo's status was deemed, "recall incomplete," and I wanted to know what I should do with the car; if there are any repairs that need to be done or if repairs cannot be done. I don't have any photos because I don't understand in depth why this vehicle was recalled, but I wanted to know if this is very concerning or not.

Tacada recall I bought my car had 121000 miles all a sudden I have no right tail light no dash lights an no passengers front orange light ther is no power going to fuse box under hood I called the dealership they stated my vin had been fixed for that recal and it has not

Gm must not know this this has to do with the electrical wire harness inside of the engine block for the lights. For some reason the power is over writing the fuses and not blowing and causing small engine fires that could get out of control. I caught mine in enough time and put it out. A guy has to do with the right side and the left side in the fuse box being two separate entities of wires which is 7 + 7 equals 14 to control two different sizes. I was just wondering why and gm needs to know what's the sense of...

My daughter came to a stop in traffic at a red light 50 feet from the car in front of her and was hit in the rear traveling at about 40 miles per hour knocking her in to the car in front of her the air bags did not deploy and gm's investigation says she wasn't hit hard enough. She was sent to the hospital via ems with back and neck injury's this whole accident was caught on the car wash video cam .

I bought this car brand new and kept up the maintenance religiously! I was horrified to find out that my timing belt went out at 46,000 miles! My manual says to replace timing belt at 60,000 miles. I've read there was a recall issued in 2006, but it didn't go to owners; just service shops...I was never alerted, that was definitely a mistake on gm's part. I feel as though I should be compensated!!!

Interior dash and console lights in-operative as well as the right tail light. Jesus christ, after seeing all of the people complaining about this our beloved no good for nothing governmental agencies should make gm responsible for the cost of repair for this obvious manufacturers or engineering defect. Or at least send out detailed instructions to the owners on how to fix this problem so they can take it to their mechanic of choice to get it fixed. The dealers obviously don't want to do anything about it. And they charge too much any how. Sincerely, george s.

When I went out to start the vehicle I had no dash board lights. Every other light system worked but I could not see the speedometer or the tachometer. All the fuses were intact. I then bought new bulbs for the entire gage cluster and they still are not functioning. I have looked up this problem on multiple forums and this is a very common issue without a solution other than "rigging" this system! This is unacceptable practice to allow this to go on without some sort of recall or replacement part available!

The mileage and speed are approximate. I was backing out of my ice and snow covered driveway in february 2015. There is a small dip where my driveway meets the street so I accelerated so as not to get my tires stuck in the icy dip. As I was backing my car into the street, and my car was in the lane of traffic the car shut off. I was unable to restart the car. My neighbor, and another gentleman who stopped to help, pushed my car back into my driveway. I attempted to start the car several times after the...

I bought this car for in 2011 with 25,000 miles, first 6 months was great. But then the inside panel lights were going on and off. Door locks weren't working and I noticed a burn mark on my panel under steering wheels and took to a shop and he said wires were a mess under the dash. He fixed the door locks for me and 200 and something dollars still no panel lights. I tried to fix this problem but no one wants to touch the mess. I got a recall for the daytime running lights which I never had a problem with, so when I brought it in for that told them about the problem and nothing was done. *Tr
