I just bought an used chevy aveo 2008 and within 31/2wks the shift lock brake keeps locking while being parked on the street and driveway is that a recall

Are your brake lights working? Shift lock solenoid needs to receive a signal from your brake pedal switch so if you have lights out or blown fuse it could lock in park.

Best cure is to just tie the shift locking solenoid in the "off unlocked" position on this model.

sounds like brake switch for shifter lock isnt working. UNDER BRAKE PEDAL there should be a cable that leads to the shifter in the mess of wires. make sure its fully connected. If not then unplug and reconnect that should fix if not then issue is at shifter end

Power train control module. Reprogram with the correct software and calibration. If that doesn;t work, then PCM must be replaced and programed with correct software. Bring to a mechanic.

It could be a few things....I just had this same problem with my 2008 chevy aveo this week. Also, my check engine light came on the very next day after the gear shifter started locking. I called Bob Bell and they told me that the gear shifter locking is probably due to a sensor going bad that tells your car it is in park. However, after taking my car to my brother-in-law (who has very LITTLe knowledge about repairing cars), we discovered that my brake lights were not working either. He told me that is why my check engine light is on - because it is extremely dangerous to drive without brake lights. We checked the fuses to make sure there was no fuse blown and they were all just fine. So bottom line, the problem was that there is a brake switch under your dash board where your brake is. My switch keeps sticking and will probably eventually need to be replaced. When the switch works properly, my brake lights work fine, my gear shifter unlocks and my check engine light goes out. Not sure how much it is to fix this switch if that is the problem but I hope it helps!

These have a brake light switch that controls both the shift lock solenoid and the brake lamps, so chances are that if it is not a fuse then it is the brake light switch.

the spring in the assembly may be hong up, disassemble and repair if posible

its your brake switch small plastic piece of **** that controls your shift and brake. I had this same problem 9 months ago now its starting again the part runs about 15 bucks easy to fix.

This is a chevy thing, You must if you can park on flat service, you Must step on the brake pedal hard and muscle the thing out of park.
