Description of the problem | I have been having quite a bit of trouble with my aveo in the last year. The battery will be dead after sitting in the garage for 12 hours with no explanation. The first time it happened in january, we blamed it on the very cold winter we were having and a new battery was purchased. I did not have any issues for a few months but then as of the spring until now, the battery has been dead a dozen more times. I took it into a garage which checked everything to make sure that the car was not draining the battery somehow, but they came up with no solutions but to give me another new battery. But since then, it has still occurred numerous times. For years, my clock has been wrong. I will set it to the correct time, but once the car is shut off and started again, it will be a completely different time each time. I have tried to have someone look at it but no one can seem to explain that either. So i am led to believe that there is some sort of faulty electrical situation that is causing all this stress. The wrong time, i can deal with. My car not starting for no reason is a much greater dilemma. I am 7 months pregnant and have been reading a lot of other people's reviews online stating that things like this and much worse things have been happening to them with their 2009 chevy aveos. I would hope that with this many incidences, there would be a recall or some sort of explanation by now, at least. I am very concerned to own this car with a newborn on the way. He is due in january and if i go to leave a location with him in the dead of winter and my car won't start or worse, i will be one very upset mother. Please consider the fact that there may be some very serious issues with this electrical system. Thank you for your time. |
