BOUGHT 2009 AVEO LS SEDAN BRAND NEW FOR DAUGHTER SO SHE WOULD HAVE A SAFE CAR FOR COLLEGE. WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP IT WILL NOT RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL INPUTS. THIS HAPPENS ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES, SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, OTHER TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAVE PARKED THE CAR AS IT IS UNSAFE FOR OUR CHILD TO DRIVE IN THE CURRENT CONDITION. TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP RESULT IN "WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG". FRUSTRATING.... THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE LESSON TO NEVER BUY A GM PRODUCT AGAIN! *TR

MY MOTHER SWERVED TO KEEP FROM HITTING A VEHICLE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. SHE ENDED UP IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. HER CAR WAS HIT BY A PICK UP TRUCK, SPUN AND WAS HIT AGAIN BY THE TRUCK. TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY AND IT WAS ON A RURAL ROAD. HER AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN SPITE OF MULTIPLE STRIKES. WE WILL NEVER KNOW IF HER CAR CUT OFF DUE TO AN IGNITION PROBLEM OR IT WAS FAULTY AIR BAGS. SHE SUSTAINED CATASTROPHIC INJURIES INCLUDING A BROKEN NECK, BROKEN BACK, BROKEN WRISTS, BROKEN PELVIS, BROKEN LEG, BROKEN RIBS AND CHEST INJURIES. SHE WAS AIR LIFTED TO A TRAUMA CENTER. SHE DIED ON 6/9/09. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED WHICH COULD HAVE HELPED REDUCE HER INJURIES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
GOT THIS CAR BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT WITH ONLY 43 MILES ON IT. AROUND 3000 MILES I HAD MY FIRST MAJOR PROBLEM. I WAS GOING DOWN I-95 IN ST. PAUL, MN AT AROUND 75 MILES/HR AND THE CAR JERKED THEN CUT OFF. MIND YOU THIS IS RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I HAD 2 TODDLERS IN THE CAR WITH ME. WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER BEFORE I COULD GET THE CAR TO DRIFT TO SHOULDER. TOOK 3 WEEKS TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP BC THE CAR WAS SO NEW THEY HAD NOT MADE EXTRA PARTS YET. ABOUT A YEAR LATER I STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS- ONSTAR NOT WORKING OR RANDOMLY TURNING ON, CLOCK RESETTING ITSELF TO RANDOM TIMES, DASH LIGHTS EITHER GOING OUT OR ALL STAYING ON, HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY WORKING, AND OF COURSE I TOOK TO 2 DIFFERENT CHEVY DEALERS AND NEITHER COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG ONLY THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY =/ ONCE THE CAR TURNED 4 YEARS ON IT HAS BEGUN EATING FUSES AND COIL PACKS. THIS IS AFTER THE COIL PACK AND SPARK PLUGS/BOOTS PUT ON BY CHEVY AFTER THAT RECALL. IT IS EATING COIL PACKS EVERY 4-6 MONTHS AND AT 150-200$ A POP IT IS EXPENSIVE ESPECIALLY ONCE YOU FACTOR IN MECHANIC LABOR. I HATE THIS CAR AND WISH I NEVER GOT IT. I MISS MY 96 DODGE CARAVAN WITH THE OIL LEAK AND MANUAL WINDOWS. I FELT MUCH SAFER IN THAT OLD VAN AND IT WAS MORE RELIABLE- IT NEVER LEFT ME EVEN WITH A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR PUTTING THEIR NAME ON A NOW DEFUNCT POS FOREIGN DAEWOO CRAP AND SELLING IT TO US AS AMERICAN MADE. THERE ISN'T ANYTHING MADE IN NORTH AMERICA. THERE ARE A FEW PARTS MADE IN MEXICO BUT MOST ARE KOREAN MADE. I WOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN IT IF I HAD GLIMPSED THOSE DAEWOO STAMPS UNDER THE HOOD, TRUNK, AND CAR JAMS. *TR

THIS HAS BEEN THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST IME, I CALLED TRIPLE AAA AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ARROWAY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN MOUNT KISCO NY. THIS IS WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURED WITH A 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER THT I PURCHASED FROM ARROWAY IN MOUNT KISCO, IT OCCURED SO FREQUENTLY, THAT I TURNED IT IN AND PURCHASED THE AVEO. UNFORTUNATELY, THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING WITH THIS CAR.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR LOST POWER FOR NO REASON . IT DID NOT FULLY STALL BUT LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT RESPOND. IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD, BARELY GO, THEN RECOVER SLIGHTLY. THIS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY AND WAS FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS. THE BATTERY LIGHT BEGAN TO GO OFF AND ON. MECHANICS COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND BATTERY OK. IN NOVEMBER, CAR LOST POWER IN TRAFFIC, ALMOST HAD WRECK, BARELY MADE IT TO SHOP. "STRANGELY SWOLLEN" BATTERY FOUND AND REPLACED. COMPUTER AND ALL SYSTEMS CHECKED. INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN. BACK IN SHOP. CLUTCH REPLACED, TUBE REPLACED IN ENGINE, ETC. COST $ 1500. CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE BUT ONLY FOR DAYS. BEGAN DOING SAME THING AGAIN. BUT WHEN I TAKE IT TO MECHANICS, CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. IT SEEMED TO POSSIBLY BE TRIGGERED AND HAPPENED MORE OFTEN IF I USED ONSTAR BUILT IN PHONE. HAD IT TURNED OFF AND THOUGHT THAT SOMEHOW FIXED PROBLEM BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY IN TRAFFIC WITH MY 93 YR OLD MOM IN CAR. TERRIFYING.. CAN'T GET OUT OF WAY IF CAR COMING IN INTERSECTION. NO ONE HELPS ME FIND A SOLUTION. I CONTACTED GM ONLINE THEY SAID THEY KNOW OF NO SUCH PROBLEM. HUNDREDS OF POSTS ONLINE FROM AVEO OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IF THIS ISN'T MADE PUBLIC.. WE NEED A RECALL . HELP PLEASE! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE HAD OPEN RECALL ON OCTOBER 13TH, 2012; TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JOHN ELWAY CHEVROLET TO FIX RECALL 11290, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATING DUE TO AN OXYGEN INTAKE RELATED ISSUE. THE OPEN RECALL, WHICH IS WAS A DEFECTIVE EMISSIONS COMPONENT, IS, IN ADDITION TO THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM, COVERED UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY AND FEDERAL EMISSIONS DEFECT WARRANTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE U.S FEDERAL CLEAN AIR ACT, AND BACKED BY CHEVROLET'S PROMISE TO "REPAIR AND/OR REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS IN MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP WHICH CAUSE VEHICLE TO FAIL TO CONFORM WITH THOSE REGULATIONS" (P20, 21), AND COVER "EMISSION RELATED DEFECTS IN THE GENUINE GM PARTS LISTED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY PARTS LIST, INCLUDING RELATED DIAGNOSTIC COSTS, PARTS, AND LABOR" (21). (CHEVROLET LIMITED WARRANTY AND OWNER ASSISTANCE INFORMATION). THE OXYGEN INTAKE RELATED ISSUE HOWEVER, WAS NOT REPAIRED, AND DIAGNOSTIC COSTS AND REPAIRS FOR THESE PARTS WERE, ACCORDING TO JOHN ELWAY CHEVROLET, AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. SINCE OCTOBER 13TH, 2013 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL FAILED ATTEMPTS TO NOT ONLY ABIDE BY THE CHEVROLET OWNER'S RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE I HAD PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2012. IT IS BECAUSE OF CHEVROLET'S FAILURE TO ABIDE BY THEIR VERY OWN PROMISE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, THE BINDING CONTRACT I MYSELF PURCHASED AND SIGNED WITH MY VEHICLE WHICH STATES IN THEIR OWN WORDS WARRANTY, WAS BROKEN AND AS A RESULT MY 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO WAS NO LONGER CONSIDERED A WORKING OR LEGAL VEHICLE. ON AUGUST 16TH, 2013, A CASE WAS MADE WITH POISON CONTROL AFTER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, FOR THE LAST TIME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE AVEO LT WAS ON I-85 RAMP DOWNTOWN ATLANTA TRYING TO BUILD SPEED WHEN IT STALLED AT AN AREA WHERE THERE IS LITTLE SIDE ACCESS. CAR COOLED OFF AND WAS RE CRANKED AND BROUGHT TO NORTH END OF ATLANTA FOR FURTHER INSPECTIONS TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM COULD BE DUPLICATED. CAR RPMS WERE NOTED TO VARY UP AND DOWN AND THEN STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHERE IT WAS ALMOST T-BONED ON PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD NORCROSS, GA WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH. MULTIPLE OBD CODES WERE EXTRACTED ( A TOTAL OF 6 ) . CAR WAS FURTHER EXAMINED BY ASE MECHANIC SHOP THAT STATES THAT THE VEHICLE ECM LOSES COMMUNICATION WITH SENSORS AND OTHER COMPUTERS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. ASE MECHANIC STATES THAT ECM SHOULD BE REPLACED. GM CAR DEALER ( RICK HENDRIX GMC - DULUTH, GEORGIA ) STATES THAT GM PROCEDURE IS TO APPLY SB PIP4789C REPLACING FRONT O2 SENSOR AS A STARTING POINT TO REPAIR CAR USING A NEWER O2 SENSOR THAT WAS MADE LATER THAN A CERTAIN DATE AND TO UPDATE ECM WITH NEWER SOFTWARE. GM DEALER STATES THERE IS NO NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND TO REVIEW USING A SCANNING TOOL AS THE GM PROCEDURE IS TO BE USED AND WILL BE ADEQUATE. THIS SITUATION IS CLEARLY DANGEROUS. IF A SIMPLE O2 SENSOR COULD SUDDENLY COULD CAUSE A KNOWN PROBLEM OF THIS TYPE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GM SB THEN IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE 8/80K EMISSIONS WARRANTY. IF THE ECM CAN LOSE COMMUNICATIONS WITH OTHER ESSENTIAL ITEMS AND CAUSE A PROBLEM OF THIS TYPE THAT SHOULD NOT ONLY BE COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS BUT IT SHOULD ALSO BE PLACED ON RECALL. AS AN ENGINEER WITH 36 YEARS EXPERIENCE I AM APPALLED.AT A FAILURE OF THIS TYPE. A PERSON CAN BE PSYCHOLOGICALLY CONDITIONED THAT THEIR CAR IS RUNNING FINE AND THEN AT THE NEXT MOMENT IT COMPLETELY STALLS AND MAY NOT ALLOW THEM TO CLEAR AN INTERSECTION. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
SO WE BOUGHT THIS CAR AND NOTICED THAT IT WOULD LOSE POWER, BUCK, JERK, AND SOMETIME DIE. USUALLY AFTER DYING IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP AND DRIVE FINE FOR A WHILE. WE TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP THAT TOLD US TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. AFTER WE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND HAD THE DEALER PROGRAM IT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. WE BOUGHT A NEW ECU FROM THE CHEVY DEALER AND HAD THEM INSTALL AND PROGRAM IT AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. WE REPLACED THE COIL PACK FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THIS VEHICLES HISTORY WITH NO LUCK, SAME PROBLEM. DRAINED THE FUEL TANK AND INSTALLED A NEW FUEL PUMP...... SAME PROBLEM.... AMIDST ALL THESE PART REPLACEMENTS THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES AND NOW A FOURTH TIME THEY FINALLY CALLED ME AFTER A WEEK AND SUGGESTED THAT THEY CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY.... I EXPLAINED THAT IT IS BRAND NEW AND SHOULD NOT NEED CLEANING. THEY STILL APPARENTLY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PIECE OF JUNK THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD! BETWEEN THE CHEVY DEALER AND OUR OWN TIME WE HAVE SPENT OVER $2000 DOLLARS AND THE CAR STILL WON'T OPERATE CORRECTLY. *TR

CAR WOULD NOT START, NEEDLE GAUGES FLICKERING, INSIDE LIGHTS ON, DASH LIGHTS ON, BUT WOULD NOT START OR ALLOW VEHICLE TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS LOCKED UP. TRIED JUMPING VEHICLE TWICE BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ HAVE BEEN EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH MY CAR FROM THE GAS SURGES WHERE I HAVE PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WOULD HAVE NO POWER AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE HIT, TO THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING AND THEN SPONTANEOUS COMING ON. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR WORK AT LEAST THREE TIMES FOR INCIDENTALS. I AM FIXING TO TRADE THIS IN FROM ALL THE NEGATIVE RESPONSES I HAVE READ. I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL STARTING A FIRE, THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN! NEVER HAVE SEEN NEEDLES MOVING ON GAUGES WHEN CAR IS COMPLETELY DISENGAGED WITH NO KEYS EVEN IN IGNITION. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BOUGHT USED THE END OF AUGUST 2010. STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2010. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY LOSE POWER. EXAMPLE GOING 45 THE CAR WOULD QUIT ACCELERATING AND WOULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 5-10 MPH. NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WON'T GO. THE TACHOMETER REVS UP AND DOWN BUT THE CAR WON'T GO. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND ALWAYS GET THE SAME ANSWER. THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IN OCTOBER 2010 THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED THE INJECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY AT A COST OF $193.80. DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM. IN NOVEMBER 2010 THEY REPLACED THE O2 SENSORS. FIXED THE PROBLEM UNTIL I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A RECALL ON THE IGNITION COIL AND BOOTS ON JUNE 21,2012. THE CAR STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. TOOK IT BACK ON JUNE 25,2012. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE CAR HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON AND OFF. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON MAY 22,2013 AND AGAIN AFTER KEEPING THE CAR FOR A WEEK THEY STILL CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. TODAY, JUNE 24 2013, THE CAR IS DOING IT AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN IT QUITS ACCELERATING THERE ARE NO BRAKE LIGHTS. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS IS A PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR WORSE. *TR
