POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

driving on interstate highway in our new 2009 chevrolet aveo. it has an automatic transmission. the transmission shifter jumped or was slightly bumped (although i don't recall bumping it) from drive into neutral at 65 mph. fortunately able to make it to shoulder to return to drive position (didn't know if going from neutral to drive at high speed would have caused damage). reported problem to auto dealer who said the transmission is normal, does same thing on cobalt model! note: we can push shifter from drive into neutral at any speed without depressing the button on the shifter. has only happened one time so far.

STRUCTURE

tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet aveo. the contact stated that dust and debris from the road enters the vehicle. the dust makes it difficult to breath and see when driving. the vehicle was taken to the dealer in which a technician stated that because the vents are located in the wheel wells, excessive amounts of dust can enter. he then added that there was no available remedy for the failure. she contacted the manufacturer and was advised by a representative that because the vehicle sits low to the ground, dust intrusion is normal. the failure mileage was 800. the current mileage was 2900. updated 10/13/09. *lj the consumer received a letter from gm which stated what she was experiencing was normal. by federal law, the vehicle was designed with venting in the trunk over the wheel wells. an excessive amount of use on dirt roads would allow dust to enter the vehicle via the trunk. it also stated the vehicle was low to the ground as well will also contributed to the condition and there was no factory defect with the vehicle. updated 10/15/09

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

2009 chevy aveo - since purchased last july have had intermittent shut downs. will be driving and go to make a turn and with out any warning the car shuts off. i have brought it back to chevy numerous times and they cant seem to find the problem. told them this is a safety issue and if the car shuts off while on the interstate there is no way for me to get out of the way of traffic. i loose all power in the car. then it takes a few seconds before the car will restart.approx 6 mo after i had the car i was told by the service manager at chevy that there was something on their trouble board and they had to reprogram the computer. this temporarily fixed the problem until april of this year when it started again. although i am in the process of a buyback from chevy they still have me driving the car. my 22 year old daughter used the car a week ago and experienced this while trying to exit off of one main road and enter onto another. the car just shut off.

my experience with our 2009 chevrolet aveo. my wife has had multiple problems with our 2009 chevrolet aveo; which she has described to me but i could not make happen or duplicate when i would test drive it when she would get home, until today 10/17/2010. here is what i experienced. my first 10 -15 miles of driving with one 30 min. stop at store, no problems. made 2 mile trip to another store for about 10 min. then on my way down the road just before a major intersection light; had to stop in long line of traffic. the first thing that happened was when i slightly let off the brake to move forward, the car lunged. i hit the brake and the rpm started dropping and the car started sputtering; so i let off the brake and it lunged again. when the light turned green, i pushed on the accelerator and it was if the engine was not getting gas. i pushed the peddle to the floor and it started going normal again. pulled into a grocery store parking lot; and it was very shaky or sputtering.; i pushed on the accelerator and it was if the engine was not getting gas again. pulled into parking spot and once again the rpm started dropping and the car shut off on its own. went into 1 store for 10 min. got in the car and it showed no symptoms on the rest of the way home; which is 2 miles from the store. so now i know there is something wrong here.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS

on my 2009 chevrolet aveo5: the frame is not properly made (straight). a private repair facility and local dealership have concluded the same, and that it is not repairable. a certain part of the frame near the front end was improperly produced, causing the front end suspension to be unable to perform with reasonable function, and front tires to be unable to be placed on the vehicle properly for suitable control of the vehicle. this causes excessive tire wear, uneven tire wear, and an unreasonably low level of handling control. beginning mileage 000 because it was made this way, and current mileage is approximately 21500. the vehicle cannot be aligned into any published specifications. there are no published factory specifications for the front-end alignment, which indicates this problem may have been known by the manufacturer since production. the inadequate level of control and excessive amount of uneven tire wear present safety problems in handling, tire failure and possible rollover. this appears to be a consistent problem with the model of the car as a whole, and closer investigation will probably reveal a large number of crashes, injuries, and fatalities sourced directly to improperly placed frame components that are causing the lack of control in combination with tire instability. my 2009 chevy aveo is currently in my possession. the problem has been acknowledged and deemed not repairable by both the private repair facility and dealership. both have also been confirmed it is not possible to align the car within any published specifications. a case is currently open with the manufacturer on my car, and so far, appears to be progressing properly towards resolution. however, i strongly urge investigation to avoid unnecessary crashes, injuries, and fatalities. incident date is date problem first identified, but again, the car was made this way, and various symptoms have been present for the life of the car.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

my 2009 chevrolet has had serious stalling or non responsive acceleration for 6 months now. on a regular basis the car will lose power to the engine; when stepping on the accelerator pedal. the car acts like there is no signals from the accelerator pedal to the throttle assembly. there are days when it does nothing at all. there are times when it happens then the engine will just seem to return to normal, then out of the blue the engine will lose power again. there are never any warnings or check engine lights. none have ever come on. we have taken the car to 3 different chevrolet dealerships; and to one independent garage; who did have the problem happen once while i was driving with the owner, but the otc genisis device could not identify what was happening, it just recorded the history of the event. none of the chevrolet dealers could get it to duplicate or find any codes in the 10 days they had the car. the problem seems to be getting worse. i have been taking videos with my htc droid when the car is having its problem (for all the good that will do). it is like keeping a journal. i show the rpm spikes and drops; the sudden deceleration and the ?no response when the gas peddle is pushed. the problem has occurred at all speeds, including when on the freeway. we have already spent over $600 on various (so called fixes); including a complete fuel system cleaning (including the throttle body cleaning) none have ever helped. i was told by a chevrolet dealer it was a bad o2 sensor (but no check engine light had ever came on). o2 sensors always cause a check engine light to come on. i think it may be the entire ecu computer; but no dealer wants to admit that. i was told by the dealer today 01/04/2011; there is nothing more they will do; because we have too much negitive equity. they will not do a buy back. they have washed their hands of the issue. to bad there is no used car lemon law. 4 repair attempts and the problem is even worse.

on the first incident, when driving at 40 mph started shaking like it wanted to stall and stopped accelerating. the next day when stopped at a light it started shaking and the rpm gauge was going up and down. it didn't happen again until about a month later, which is when i took it in, but the dealership couldn't replicate the problem. it kept happening -- the car would start shaking while driving like it wanted to stall and would slow down. once while driving it dropped the acceleration to about 20 mph and would not go any faster, then just lost power to the engine. i took it again for one week but they couldn't replicate the problem. i got the car back and it was fine for about two weeks but now is happening regularly. sometimes it just shakes quickly but something the acceleration completely drops and the car will just stop while i am driving, which is scary. i'll try to accelerate and nothing will happen, then finally it will go again. sometimes i will stop and then the car will lurch forward. the rpm gauge is always moving up and down. there is no pattern as to when it happens. i've taken the car in two more times and still nothing. they just installed a data recorder and i recorded four instances and gave it back; i'm waiting to hear the results. it's very dangerous, because i will be driving in traffic and my car will just stop, and since i am not braking there is no indication to the car behind me. also, no lights are coming on (no check engine light, etc.). i had my oil changed the first time since i was about due but that made no difference.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

my 2009 chevrolet aveo was bought in march with 25000 miles, in april i began having problems. after taking the car to two different chevrolet dealerships, at separate times, the harmonic balancer was found to be worn which damaged the timing belt and had to be replaced at 28000 miles. before this, the car was taken to the dealership for problems of not starting (occasionally). the issue could never be duplicated and was told the car was fine. since then, the car will now act as though it does not want to take gas or that there is a "mis-fire" such as spark plugs. no lights come on. at 42500 miles when going 45 mph, the car acted as though it wasn't getting gas, or trying to "miss" and the engine light flashed three times but didn't stay on. after pulling over, turning off the car for 10 secs and restarting it, as said to do in manual, the car was able to be driven home with no security lights on. car will once again be inspected a dealership for the same problems!!! this car should be recalled. it is not safe to drive. it "lunges" at intersections or when letting off the brake, jerks or makes a hard "miss" when traveling at a constant speed. aveos should not be on the market. my aveo gets great gas mileage, has no power options, which is what i wanted, but is still more trouble than any vehicles i have owned. my aveo is driven mostly on the interstate and no more than 30 miles in each direction. it currently has 42550 miles.

during annual inspection, mechanic noticed slight looseness in the tie rod connection; passed inspection and asked me to have him check during next oil change. we discussed replacing the tie rod in any case with a brand with a lifetime warranty in two months when i was off from work. in the meantime, i had to have recall work done at the dealership to replace all spark plug boots and plugs. (chevrolet 5-door aveo). asked the dealer for an opinion on the tie rod. dealer mechanics looked at it and said it was of no concern. went back to the local mechanic and arranged for the replacement of the left inner tie rod anyway. during the work, the mechanic discovered that the threads on the outer tie rod were completely stripped down to shiny metal. the nut slid off when pulled gently with his fingers. replaced both parts and then had to have a front end alignment. other than the looseness noted during annual state inspection, there were no warning signs. the vehicle was used for commuting in well-maintained state and us highways only. i am the second owner and purchased the car used in march 2011. i tried to report to gm using their website, but there is no part dedicated to the reporting of safety issues.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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.

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.

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!

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.

my light went out for the passenger seat. some instrument panel lights went out. started driving sluggish and acting like it wanted to cut off. took to dealership who at first could not find the problem, kept saying it was blowing up their computers. later found out that it was the computer control center under the driver seat. gm should not have put the control box under the driver seat and i should not have had to pay $1400 to have it fixed. the car was only 2 years old then. the complete car was taken apart and apparently was not put back together correctly because my radio speakers do not work properly now. i will never buy another gm product.

the low beam headlights don't work anymore. went to mechanic, who replaced bulbs with brand new ones, and they didn't work either. they tested fuses and said those were fine. they recommended i go to a chevy dealership to fix it but don't have the money for all that. running around at night to get home from work on a passenger-side daytime running light only, or high beams when no one's around. help!

AIR BAGS

my wife and i were traveling in our chevy aveo 2009, going about 65mph on a fairly secluded state highway, when suddenly it felt as though we were on black ice. i tried continuing straight, but we were pulled violently to the right, hitting the cement barrier, which launched us left across both lanes of traffic. fortunately there was no oncoming traffic at the time. when we hit the left shoulder, our car did a 180, and rolled 3 times, landing upright. i blacked out part way through the accident and awoke hunched over with my leg out the window. but we were both very fortunate to leave the accident alive, getting released from the hospital with only superficial injuries--cuts from the glass, minor headaches and soreness, etc. our seatbelts were our saving grace. however, we noticed that none of the airbags ever deployed. from the significant body damage done to the aveo, we and the spectators who arrived to help us, expressed surprise that they never went off. now 2 days later, we're beginning to experience greater pain in the lower back and upper legs, which we hope doesn't turn into something more serious and costly than originally determined. would it be considered a defect for airbags, even side ones, to not deploy when getting hit at those speeds?

ENGINE

while waiting in drive-thru for my order, my car began to shudder violently. i was idling at 1 rpm on the meter. suddenly, my car accelerated itself up to 4 rpm. had i not had my foot on the brake, i would have rear ended the vehicle in front of me. this persisted throughout the drive-thru and onto the roadway. i tried to accelerate and shift into second gear, but the car lost all power and then would rev up to 35mph without warning. not once did my check engine light come on. brought it to the dealer and was informed that my information cluster needed to be replaced and that chevy doesn't cover that part outside of the warranty period. i just paid my car off and the extended warranty just expired. i'm looking at paying $700 and they're not done looking at my car. this is unacceptable. something needs to be recalled because from what i've read, my car isn't the only one that has experienced this.

i was stopped at a red light waiting to make a left southbound turn at approximately 10:30 p.m. the aveo malfunctioned on turning. i ended up going southbound in the northbound turning lane and was completely stopped. i was unable to start the car, change gears, turn on headlights, or turn on flashers to warn other drivers of impending danger. the car was completely stalled with absolutely nothing working - confirmed by police, a friend, and wrecker operator. it was impossible to even push the car to a safe location as the wheels would not move/turn. a manual override was required by the wrecker operator to even load the car onto the wrecker. i was blessed to have a good samaritan pull up behind me and put on flashers and wait until the police arrived as without lights or flashers, it was difficult to see the car stalled in the wrong lane of traffic - creating the potential for an accident. in the weeks preceding this complete malfunction, i had replaced both front hub bearings, brakes, timing belt and water pump. shortly after the last repair - replacing the timing belt and water pump - the air conditioning stopped working and received an estimate of approx another $1,400 for this repair from a chevrolet dealer in my area.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

had driven my car earlier that day with no problems. mid-afternoon i got in my car to go run errands and it wouldn't start. when i would turn the key nothing would happen, no lights came on, no attempt for engine to turn over. nothing. quick check confirmed battery was charged, fuses good, and power getting to fuses. had it towed to dealer. inspection by gm technician found the instrument module had overheated and been damaged, which disabled the ignition and wouldn't allow car to start. issue sounds similar to the recent recalls on the 2004-2008 aveo's, where "the problem concerns the daytime running light module in the instrument panel. it could overheat, melt and cause a fire." gm technician noted that he could tell the instrument module was melted cause he could smell the burning when he open up the dash.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

i was driving up hwy 31 in columbus and my car was like it wasn't getting gas. the engine continued to run. i pushed the accelerator to the floor and it made a connection again in approximately 1 minute. this happened twice and i took it to poynter chevrolet in seymour. nothing showed up on the computer and they kept my car 3 days and could not get it to duplicate the problem. my car was only doing this once a week, now it is doing it most of the time. you have no warning that it is going to slow up, only moving from the momentum of the previous speed. i looked on the computer at "problems with chevy aveos" and there are several people on the internet with the same problem. i called chevrolet and they said they only do recalls from calls from mechanics who have fixed the same problem several times. how can i get this fixed if they don't know what is causing the problem? this could cause a fatal accident several ways so i'm afraid to drive the car. if i am on the highway going 70 mph and the car decides to just quit, i could get hit. if i'm making a left hand turn and there is on coming traffic i could get hit. i have a 2009 chevy aveo and i am afraid to drive it. please look at the internet at all the other owners having the same problem.

as a father i am writing this on behalf of my 18yr old daughter. this vehicle has lost steering, brakes and acceleration 3 times over 2 years of ownership. each time has been at low speeds (2mph - 10mph) while driving at low speeds in traffic, the aveo will loose the ability to accelerate, no matter how far the gas pedal is pushed down. the brakes only work slightly, and the pedal is hard push down. the steering is very unresponsive, similar to the brake issue it's hard to steer. while the above 3 issues happen at once, the engine is at idle. to fix, she has to turn the car off and restart.
