2011 Chevrolet Aveo

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY AVEO WITH 58,800 MILES. IT HAS A SERIOUS STALLING ISSUE AND GETTING WORSE. MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD THE CAR FOR OVER TWO DAYS AND CAN'T GET IT TO "THROW A CODE" ON THE COMPUTER. IT DID STALL FOR THEM BEFORE THEY GOT THE COMPUTER ON IT. I HAVE EMAILED GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND PLAN TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FTC. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE THE CAR BACK TO THE BANK AND SUFFER FINANCIALLY AS I AM IN NO POSITION TO PAY FOR 2 CARS SO THIS CAR CAN SIT. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT SEEMS THAT GM IS ONLY WILLING TO REPAIR CARS ONCE SOMEONE AS DIED OR BEEN INJURED BY SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FROM THE BEGINNING. THE FIRST 2 ITEM THEY SHOULD BE REPLACING ARE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND FUEL PUMP, BUT THEY WON'T. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

ON THE NIGHT OF 3/13/13 I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH MY LIGHTS ON. I WAS TRAVELING EAST THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHERE THE CROSS ROAD ONLY HAD TO STOP AND I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY. A VEHICLE TRAVELING SOUTH FAILED TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN. I WAS UNABLE TO SOUND MY HORN AND HAD TO RUN OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE HORN ON THE 2011 AVEO IS ONLY 1" X 1 1/4 " ON EACH SIDE THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THEY ARE SO SMALL AND HARD TO FIND, THAT A PERSON DRIVING MUST TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO FIND THEM DURING THE DAY TIME. AT NIGHT A LIGHT MUST BE TURNED ON TO FIND THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE SMALL SIZE AND DIFFICULTY TO FIND WITHOUT LOOSING SIGHT OF THE ROAD. *TR
