I don't recall of ever reading about this issue on the forum. It is not likely that they will give you another car. The dealer would probably make more money from the service reimbursement from GM.

Changing a fairly new car over to synthetics is unlikely to cause trouble. Over time the seals and such supposedly get conditioned to regular dino oil and its additives, so you might have issues with leaks if you switched oils on an older engine. They claim to have worked out the compatiblility problems, so it isn't supposed to be a problem then either. If you like the other properties of synthetic oil enough to pay the extra $$$, I say go for it,

Would you consider 17,050 a new engine? I had a V10 dodge P.U. that I switched 75,000 and no problems,reached 142,000.

I would consider 17K pretty new. The numbers I've seen thrown around are 50K and 100k for the end of engine newness. YMMV

The repetitive occurring fog /film on the inside of your windshield and other glass areas could be caused by a petroleum coating used by some plastic/vinyl manufacturers on their seating, dashboards, door panels. The petroleum coating heats in the sunlight or by using the heater/defroster and becomes gaseous. The gas floats around the interior of the vehicle and attaches to glass....and an interior film is seen.
 
The FIX: You need a good,oil cutting liquid cleaner. A cleaner, not a petroleum based solvent. Wipe down with the cleaner and rinse with clean water every piece of interior plastic and vinyl which includes the door panels, console, seats, vinyl headliner, dash...everything plastic and vinyl. Leave the doors and hatch open to dry. More than one cleaning may be necessary.
 
                                                                  ..and drive like your life depends on it.

I thought it might have been anti-freeze from heater being it only happens in cold weather and I've added 2 pints of AF in 7000 mi.No evident leak.

I use castrol's fully synthetic oil in my 05 aveo. I've been doing that since it had 6,000 miles on it. It now has 18,000. I have had no problems with it.

Air Bag System by rlbellinger

2007 Chevrolet Aveo passenger airbag light stays on when my wife who weights about 130 lbs. I have had the auto into the dealership 7 times sence I purchesed it in Feb 2007 to repair this problem. They claim that they have contacted GM about this problem, but not come up with a fix for it. I called GM customer relations about this problem. They are no help eather. They claim they replaced every thing connected with the air bag system, but it still don't work. My wife will not ride in the car the way it is, so I have a car that I can't take my wife with me when I go any place.
I would not purchase another GM product because of this, their customer service is not good.
