2006 CHEVROLET AVEO

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

General Motors is recalling certain model year 2004-2008 Chevrolet Aveo vehicles equipped with daytime running lights (DRL). In the affected vehicles, there may be heat generated within the DRL module located in the center console in the instrument panel, which could melt the DRL module.

The interior dash caught on fire and burned only in the middle of the dashboard. This happened hours after it started smoking inside the car and the headlights would not turn off even though they were already off.

A DEER WAS HIT IN THE FRONT HOOD AND BUMPER OF THIS CAR WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF COUNTY ROAD AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.
