  SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

  WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY A CAR SPED UP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF ME WHILE I WAS MERGING INTO THE LEFT LANE, I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT BUT STILL HAD CONTROL OF THE CAR UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE LOCKED AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AND STARTED TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL AND ALMOST FLIPPED OVER. I DID NOT STOMP ON THE BRAKE OR TURN THE WHEEL VERY HARD AT ALL, THE CAR SEEMS VERY UNBALANCED WHEN DRIVING DEFENSIVELY WHICH I BELIEVE COULD CAUSE A CAR FLIP. THANK GOD THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC STOPPED. *JB

  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

  THIS IS A CONDITION THAT IS A SAFTY HASZARD. I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A CHEVROLET AVEO. I NOTICED THE SPEED DID NOT SEEM RIGHT. I HAD THIS CHECKED BY THE DAELER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. IT WAS OF 7-9%. THE SPEED READS HIGHER THAN YOU ARE GOING. THIS IS NOT A CONSTANT. IT MAY BE RIGHT ONE TIME AND READ WRONG THE NEXT. THIS LEADS TO ESTIMATING YOU SPEED AS TO NOT BECOME A HAZARD FOR OTHER MOTORISTS. CHEVROLET INFORMED ME THEY KNOW THIS AND IT IS NORMAL! THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THIS AND BASICLY TOLD ME I WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT! THIS IS A CAR I PURCHASED NEW! HOW CAN THEY SELL A CAR WITH THIS FAULT? THE NUMBER OF FAILURES IS A GUESS- I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MANY TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED.

  ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION

  DT: THE CONTACT STATED HIS VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. PRIOR TO THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE RPM DROPPED AND THEN INCREASED SUDDENLY. AT THE SAME TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY LOSING POWER SINCE THE CONTACT PURCHASED IT. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER THINKS THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE PCM, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO OBTAIN A REPLACEMENT PART FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. *AK

  THE BRAND NEW HANKOOK TIRES ON MY 2006 CHEVY AVEO ARE DEFECTIVE. I HIT A POT HOLE AND THE FIRST ONE WAS RUINED JUST 26 DAYS AFTER I DROVE THE CAR OFF THE DEALER LOT. THE REPLACEMENT TIRE I JUST BOUGHT FOR $265.55 POPPED TONIGHT 3 DAYS AFTER I DROVE OFF THE REPAIR SHOP LOT. *JB
