FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2009 AVEO, STARTED APRIL 2010, AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE TACH NEEDLE WAS JUMPING BETWEEN 500 AND 1500. IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO DIE THAN TACH JUMPED UP. I HEARD THE ENGINE SURGE. LIGHT CHANGED AND CAR BARELY MOVED. I PRESSED GAS PEDAL TO FLOOR BUT CAR WOULD LUNGE FORWARD THAN ACT TO STALL. I PUT INJECTOR CLEANER IN NEXT FUEL TANK. THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. 3-WEEKS LATER AS I WAS CROSSING A FOUR LANE ROAD, CAR ACT AS I DESCRIBED ABOVE, TACH NEEDLE BOUNCE BETWEEN 500 AND 1500, CAR SPUTTERED AND SURGED. TOOK CAR TO GM DEALER, THEIR COMPUTER FOUND NO PROBLEMS OR CODES. NO ENGINE LIGHT, NO CODE, CLEANER MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, GOT GAS AT DIFFERENT STATION. JULY 2010 TOOK CAR TO DEALER AGAIN. STILL NO CODES, FOUND NO PROBLEMS. I THOUGHT PROBLEM MIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH HIGH HUMIDITY, SINCE THAT WAS THE ONLY COMMONALITY I COULD FIND WITH EACH INCIDENT. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAVE GONE THROUGH A COMPLETE TANK OF GAS WITH NO PROBLEM. IT OCCURS AT DIFFERENT TIME S OF DAY, DIFFERENT OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES, AND WEATHER GETTING COLD IT DOES IT. TOOK CAR TO DEALER OCTOBER. THEY SAID POSSIBLE THE 10% ETHANOL GAS MAYBE PROBLEM, SO USE PREMIUM GAS. AFTER THREE PREMIUM GAS FILLS. TEMPERATURE BELOW FREEZING CAR SPUTTERED AND SURGED THAN STALLED. ROLLED TO STOP, TURNED KEY OFF, THAN STARTED CAR UP AND DROVE HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. THREE DAYS LATER, ANOTHER BELOW FREEZING TEMP, CAR BEGAN SLOWING DOWN AT 40MPH THAN SURGED. WHEN THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN THE TACH WAS DROPPING OFF THAN JUMPED BACK UP WITH THE SURGE. AS OF TODAY THE CAR HAS 11158 MILES FOR LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
UNABLE TO SEE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER CANNOT CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. 2010 CHEVROLET AVEO WINDSHIELD WASHER IS USELESS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE WASHER FLUID HITS LOW ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE AT A STOP AND IS UNABLE TO GET PAST THE WIPERS AT LEGAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS BEGAN IMMEDIATELY UPON PURCHASE. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THREE TIMES, AND THE PROBLEM IS UNRESOLVED. THE DEALER CHECKED FIVE OR SIX SIMILAR CARS ON THE LOT AND ALL OF THEM HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. CHANGED WASHER FLUID AND CLEANED LINES. CHANGED WASHER PUMP. DEALER DOES NOT BELIEVE REPLACING THE NOZZLES WITH NEW ONES FROM THE FACTORY WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL SIMILAR VEHICLES CHECKED HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. *JB
