| 2004 chevy aveo. when driving vehicle in windy condition or near large vehicle(including pickup trucks and suvs) the vehicle's front end is blown very easily creating dangerous swerving and front end movement. i feel the vehicle is very unsafe to drive and needs safety testing done. also, front end pulls hard to the left in all driving conditions. new tires have been added but did not solve problem. front end also has bad bushings or struts. car creaks when going over bumps or when pushing up and down on the front end. *jb | |||

| Tl*-the contact owns a 2004 chevrolet aveo and stated that since she purchased the vehicle the passenger's side seat belts never locked correctly in place. she took the vehicle to the dealer, and they replaced the seat belt, but she believed that they switched it from the front to the back. currently, the seat belt has been locking when anyone sat in the back. also, the dome lights iwere constantly burning out. this had occurred about three or four times. in addition, the clock did not work whenever she set the time, it would change on its own accord. similarly, the key lock on the driver's side fell through the door panel. the dealer repaired and painted the door the wrong color, and they painted over the door handle. just last week finally, the tension pulley fell off while she was driving on the freeway. they told her this was normal wear and tear on the vehicle and refused to make further repairs. the failure mileage was 32, and the current mileage was 60,750.*ak | |||
