What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet aveo. The contact stated that the drl lights failed to activate. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that parts of the lights were melted. The contact was placed on a waiting list for NHTSA campaign number: 14v261000 (exterior lighting). The contact mentioned that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for repair. The dealer stated that the parts were on back order and not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and delay.
Dash lights did not turn on when the headlights were turned on. Also, running lights did not turn on after my headlights were turned on (front and rear right). Left rear turn signal does not work. I was told by a mechanic this was due to the splice pack melting. He also informed me this was a known issue with chevrolet aveo's. This should be a manufacturers issue and not the owners if it is a known hazardous issue.
