ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HELLO. MY AVEO STARTED, AND WHEN I TRIED TO SHUT IT OFF, IT WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED UNTIL I PULLED A FUSE FROM THE ENGINE. I RETURNED THE FUSE TO ITS ALLOCATED SPOT, BUT NOW THERE IS ZERO LIFE IN THE AVEO WHEN I ATTEMPT TO START IT. THE LIGHTS COME ON, AND I HAVE TRIED JUMPING THE BATTERY ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THIS IS THE SECOND SUCH OCCURRENCE IN THREE YEARS. LAST TIME I PAID TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC, AND ALL THEY DID WAS JUMP IT. STARTED RIGHT UP, THEY SAID.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. IT CAN'T BE THROTTLED BEYOND 10-15 MPH, SO PULLED OVER. TOOK IT TO CLOSEST AUTO PARTS SHOP AND THE CODE READER CAME UP WITH P2101/P2135 INDICATING THERE IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH 'THROTTLE' FUNCTIONALITY. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPORTED BY GM ENG. TEAM AND THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WITH THE SAME MODEL BUT GM IS NOT CONSIDERING TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND EXPECT GM TO HELP FIXING IT. IT IS SAME AS NHTSA 10034366. *TR

HAD AN ACCIDENT WHEN SOMEONE RAN INTO ME. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SUSPENSION BARS HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALSO HAVE A CRACK IN THE VACUUM HOSE. I WAS DRIVING APPRX 25-30 MILES.THE PROBLEMS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACCIDENT..MY QUESTION IS THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE SUSPENSION BARS THIS SOON. NOW THE DRUMS HAVE TO BE REPLACED (WHY?) I ONLY HAVE 60,000 MILES ON THE CAR BUT THESE PROBLEMS STARTED LONG BEFORE THIS. IS THIS CAR ON THE RECALL LIST? ) [XXX] ('PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).')*JB
