Door Locking Issues and Dealer Lies
MihalisTheGreek
I just bought a 2008 Chevy Aveo from a Chevy dealer. I went home and realized that although the car did not have a remote key operation to unlock and lock the doors, if I turned the key in the driver’s door, the doors would all unlock but NOT lock again. I’d have to walk around the car or crawl over the seats to lock the car doors. I returned to the dealer. The service tech got the doors to LOCK one time by turning the key in the driver’s side door, but he could not get it to do it again. The Used Car Manager told me that my door did not have automatic door locks so I had to manually go around and lock each door whenever I parked my car. He could not explain why the key would unlock all doors at once but not lock them again. He simply said that my vehicle did not have automatic door locks. This sounds false. How can the key unlock all doors but not have the feature to lock all doors at once because my vehicle has “Manual” locks? I understand “Manual” to mean that I don’t have remoteness key entry, not that I cannot manually lock all doors from the driver’s door since I can open all doors from the driver’s door lock from the outside? The vehicle has 29,000 miles on it. :nono: I’ve contacted Chevy Customer Service Headquarters but they never replied!
