Chevrolet Aveo Electrical System Safety Report | Mar 13, 2013
Reported on Mar 13, 2013
| ON THE NIGHT OF 3/13/13 I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH MY LIGHTS ON. I WAS TRAVELING EAST THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHERE THE CROSS ROAD ONLY HAD TO STOP AND I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY. A VEHICLE TRAVELING SOUTH FAILED TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN. I WAS UNABLE TO SOUND MY HORN AND HAD TO RUN OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE HORN ON THE 2011 AVEO IS ONLY 1 X 1 1/4 ON EACH SIDE THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THEY ARE SO SMALL AND HARD TO FIND, THAT A PERSON DRIVING MUST TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO FIND THEM DURING THE DAY TIME. AT NIGHT A LIGHT MUST BE TURNED ON TO FIND THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE SMALL SIZE AND DIFFICULTY TO FIND WITHOUT LOOSING SIGHT OF THE ROAD. *TR | |
