Description of the problem | I arrived home from work on 6/8/2014 and when i removed the key from the ignition, the key was very hot it nearly burned my hand. I literally said "ow", i informed my father who was nearby and he asked me to check the around the key ignition panel which i did and it was also very hot. I called mcgee chevrolet (877) 823-5348 in raynham, ma this morning on 6/9/2014 and asked them about this, he ran the vin number and said there isn't a recall on this chevy aveo model, but i informed him that this sounds like it could be a fire hazard and this could be a recall issue. He said that this could be the first issue for this vehicle type and could be a recall in the future. We set up an appointment to go to their service station at 11 am today 6/9/2014. He informed us that we would have to pay for this repairs as it is out of warranty, but we should keep the receipt in case there is a recall in the future. |
