2005 CHEVROLET AVEO Interior Lighting Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET AVEO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING AND HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V261000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

DASH LIGHTS DO NOT WORK ON CHEVY AVEO LS AND WE CANNOT SEE OUR INSTRUMENTS BECAUSE THERE ARE NO LIGHTS AT NIGHT AND HOW FAST WE ARE GOING. WE FEEL VERY UNSAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY CONTINUOUSLY WOULD BECOME STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND CAUSE THE GEAR SHIFT TO BECOME LOCKED IN GEAR WHETHER DRIVING OR IF THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FAILED AND ONLY THE RADIO AND CLOCK LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER INSPECTED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I GOT INTO MY CAR AT NIGHT TO DRIVE HOME FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE. NONE OF MY INTERNAL LIGHTS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CLOCK AND RADIO, WOULD COME ON. DRIVING AT NIGHT WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE YOUR DASH INSTRUMENTS IS NOT EASY. I AM TOLD IT HAS TO DO WITH A SHORT IN THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX. *TR

INTERIOR LIGHTS, HEADLIGHT WARNING ON LIGHT, AND CABIN ILLUMINATION LIGHT FAILED. *TR
