ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE AND CAN BARELY GO OVER 40 MPH. WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL THE GAR SHAKES AND STUTTERS UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE CAR RANDOMLY STUTTERS WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE CAR HAS TERRIBLE FUEL ECONOMY AND LITERALLY YOUR FOOT CAN HAVE THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND YOU CAN BARELY REACH OVER 30 MPH, THE ISSUE PROGRESSES AND GETS WORSE WITH TIME. THE CAR IS BARELY DRIVABLE AND PLACES THE DRIVER AT RISK OF BEING RUN OFF THE ROAD.

AIR BAGS
MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 3 MONTHS AND KNOW ONCE IT'S ON WON'T WORK IF AND WHEN I NEED IT. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD BE ADDRESSING AS IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER RELATED ISSUE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE DOWN TO MY LOCAL AUBURN CHEVEROLET AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE CLOCK ON MY DASHBOARD WHICH WORKS PERFECTLY FINE IN ORDER TO FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT AND SHOULD BE A BIG RED FLAG. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GM ADDRESS THESE ISSUES INSTEAD OF SWEEPING IT UNDER THEIR PROVERBIAL RUG. THEY ARE PUTTING CUSTOMERS AT GREAT RISK.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I AM ON A FIXED INCOME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH 22,000 MILES ON IT WHICH I INTENDED TO TAKE CARE OF AND DRIVE FOR YEARS TO COME, IN FACT INTO THE GROUND. THE MANUAL I RECEIVED WITH THE CAR INDICATED THAT THE TIMING BELT SHOULD BE REPLACED AT 100,000. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WHERE YOU REALLY NEED A VEHICLE. I HAD DRIVEN TO ANOTHER TOWN FOR A MEDICAL APPOINTMENT. WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH THE CAR JUST DIED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN A 55 MPH ZONE. I WAS LUCKY THAT A GOOD SAMARITAN HELPED ME OUT OF THE DANGEROUS CONDITION I WAS IN ON THE ROAD. MY VEHICLE HAD 65,321 MIIES ON IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER. IT WAS DETERMINED THE TIMING BELT BROKE CAUSING VALVE DAMAGE. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $5,000 TO REPAIR IT WHICH IS WHAT I PAID FOR THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT HAVING $5,000 SO I JUNKED THE CAR. THIS ORDEAL CAUSED SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS FOR ME FINANCIALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY. I WAS 62 AT THE TIME. THE WEBSITE CARCOMPLAINTS HAS 56 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS RELATED TO 2004 CHEVY AVEOS. ALL OF THE TIMING BELTS FAILED BELOW 100,000 MILES. THERE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2005 CHEVY AVEO. WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SO I WOULD NOT LOSE MY SHORTS ON MY VEHICLE. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE EVENT WAS TERRIBLY FRIGHTENING. I SUFFER FROM HEART FAILURE. MY NEW CAR PAYMENT IS VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH ON A FIXED INCOME. I TOOK EXCELLENT CARE OF THE CAR. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT SUCH DANGEROUS CONDITION. I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON A WINTER MORNING I WENT OUT AND STARTED MY CAR TO GO TO WORK, I GOT ON THE ROAD AND REALIZED THAT MY DASHBOARD , HEATING CONTROL, AND SHIFTER LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I MOVED THE SETTINGS SWITCH AND NOTHING CAME ON. I HAVE CHECKED THE FUSES. THEY ARE FINE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY AVEOS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO REWIRE THE SYSTEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. IF I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP IT'S GOING TO COST ANYWHERE BETWEEN 50-100 DOLLARS OR MORE. IF ITS A PROBLEM TO THE CONSUMERS THEN IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT JUST A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IF THIS IS A WIRING ISSUE THEN IT COULD POSSIBLY END UP CAUSING A FIRE.

AIR BAGS
THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT A HIGHWAY SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, WHEN IT GOT INTO A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE OTHER VEHICLE MADE AN ABRUPT STOP ON THE HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF THE 2004 CHEVROLET AVEO, WHICH CAUSED THE AVEO TO HIT THE BACK OF THE SUDDENLY STOPPED VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH FROM MY UNDERSTANDING SHOULD HAPPEN WHEN TRAVELING AT THAT SPEED. IN FACT IT ESPECIALLY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE IMPACT DAMAGED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE BOUGHT TWO OTHER VEHICLES FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER SINCE MY PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MY FAMILY IS SAFE WHEN RIDING IN THESE VEHICLES.
