ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY ABOUT 60 MPH AND TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS BUT ALL IT DID WAS SPUTTER AND SLOWDOWN. HAD TO PULL OVER AND SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. COD NOT FIND ANYTHING SO I STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND THE SAME THING. IT JUST SPUTTERS. SO I DROVE TO A SERVICE STATION (VERY SLOWLY) THAT I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGE THE PREVIOUS DAY THINKING THEY MAY HAVE DONE SOMETHING. AFTER THEY CHECKED IT, THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING RELATED TO THEM BUT THAT THEY HOOKED IT UP TO A MACHINE AND IT WAS READING 11 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CENSORS CAUSING IT TO MISFIRE. THEY HAD JUST HAD IN A 2007 CHEVY COBALT DOING THE SAME THING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON. WONDERING IF THE RECALL FOR THE 2006 AVEO FOR THE DRL WOULD CAUSE THESE PROBLEMS?! THEY SERVICE TECH MENTIONED MORE THAN LIKELY IT IS NOT 11 CENSORS BUT JUST 1OR 2 AFFECTING THE OTHERS READ ON THE MACHINE. *TR

IT WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO HER, THAT THE VEHICLE HAD FRAME DAMAGE, IT WAS A FLEET VEHICLE, AND THE AIR BAGS WERE REPLACED WITH USED ONES. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, A BOLT IN THE BROKE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO COLLAPSE AND LANDED ON THE AXLE, BREAKING IT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. ALSO, SHE HAD THE AXLE REPLACED PREVIOUSLY, NOT KNOWING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRAME. DUE TO THE FRAME DAMAGE AND WARPED UNDERCARRIAGE, A BOLT CONNECTED TO THE FRAME THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE MOTOR MOUNT HIDDEN UNDER THE ENGINE HAD PREVIOUSLY BENT AND SEVERED 3/4 OF THE WAY THROUGH THE BOLT. IT WENT UN-DETECTED AND HER MECHANIC DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR, SINCE THE FRAME WAS NOT DISCLOSED. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I ARRIVED HOME FROM WORK ON 6/8/2014 AND WHEN I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE KEY WAS VERY HOT IT NEARLY BURNED MY HAND. I LITERALLY SAID "OW", I INFORMED MY FATHER WHO WAS NEARBY AND HE ASKED ME TO CHECK THE AROUND THE KEY IGNITION PANEL WHICH I DID AND IT WAS ALSO VERY HOT. I CALLED MCGEE CHEVROLET (877) 823-5348 IN RAYNHAM, MA THIS MORNING ON 6/9/2014 AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS, HE RAN THE VIN NUMBER AND SAID THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS CHEVY AVEO MODEL, BUT I INFORMED HIM THAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD AND THIS COULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. HE SAID THAT THIS COULD BE THE FIRST ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE TYPE AND COULD BE A RECALL IN THE FUTURE. WE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO GO TO THEIR SERVICE STATION AT 11 AM TODAY 6/9/2014. HE INFORMED US THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIRS AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT WE SHOULD KEEP THE RECEIPT IN CASE THERE IS A RECALL IN THE FUTURE. *TR
