VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR IDLES ROUGH AND SHUDDERS IN PARK AND WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC SIGNALS. CAR HAS DIED AT STOPS NUMEROUS TIMES BUT USUALLY STARTS AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEM. WHEN DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS AND DEPRESSING THE GAS THE CAR HAS NO RESPONSE OR LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE, THEN THE RPMS SHOOT UP AND THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD. THIS IS DANGEROUS! REPLACED THE MAF SENSOR THINKING THIS COULD BE THE ISSUE. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND CAR IS STILL ACTING UP. INTERMITTENT FAILURE. NO TROUBLE CODES AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

WHEELS
I BOUGHT BRAND NEW LANDSAIL TIRES ON 05/09/2016 AND THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER TIRE HAS WORN OUT AT 3,967 MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN I NOTICED THE CAR SHOWING ITS LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND THE TIRE WAS MAKING NOISE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED, WIRES SHOWING, AND THE DAMAGE WAS WHAT CAUSED THE TIRE TO GO FLAT AND THE LIGHT TO COME ON. I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT TIRES AND THE MECHANIC PUT THE EXACT SAME BRAND OF TIRE ON THE CAR. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WASN'T AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE, THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO GO BAD IN UNDER 4,000 MILES.

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG" LIGHT ON THE DASH STAYS ON AND WON'T GO OFF.ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AND I HAD THE CODE CHECKED AND THEY SAID IS IS SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL.I HAVE HEARD OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND IT MIGHT NOT BE DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT.WHY DOES GENERAL MOTOR HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE GET KILLED IN THEIR CARS AND HAVE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED BEFORE THEY DO THE RIGHT THING?WHY DON'T THEY RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL, AIR BAGS AND OTHER MANUFACTURING DEFECTS? MY CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 21,000 MILES ON IT.CHEVROLET SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO SELL LEMONS AND SHOW TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS LIVES.

MY CHEVY AVEO HAS HAD EL CERVICAL ISSUES FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR ON LIGHTING BUT MY VIN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL AND I AM HAVING THE SAM ISSUES. AND NOW NOTHING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY CAR IS WORKING. BLINKERS, BRAKE LIGHT AND MORE. MY LIGHT FOR MY RADIO DO NOT WORK AS WELL. I HAVE 2 KIDS AND MY CAR IS NOT SAFE WITH THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES GOING ON WITH IT. I HAVE CALLED THE CHEVROLET GARAGE WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND ALL I AM BEING TOLD IS THERE ANYTHING S NOTHING THEY CAN DO CAUSE MY VIN IS NOT LISTED WITH THE RECALLS.
