2011 Chevrolet Aveo

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.

SO AS I'M DRIVING (IN MOTION) WHETHER IT BE 30 MPH OR 70 MPH MY CAR DIES OUT. DOES NOT SHUT OFF, BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANY ACCELERATION. I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER BECAUSE I CANNOT MOVE. I SPOKE TO MECHANICS AND THEY ARE SAYING IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. AS I RESEARCH THIS, THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS AGAINST GM AND NOTHING NOT ONE THING HAS BEEN DONE. DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT AS YOUR DRIVING 70 MPH AND THEN HAVE NO CONTROL OF SPEED IN THE PASSING LANE OR REGULAR LANE THAT YOU CAN GET KILLED MY ANOTHER CAR? IF YOU GO UNDER CHEVROLET YOU CAN SEE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I ASKED IF THIS WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND IT IS NOT. IT IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN. YET GM KNOWS THERE IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND THEY ARE JUST NOT WILLING TO FIX IT. THEY WILL WAIT TIL SOMEONE DIES FIRST AND THEN FIX IT. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE THROTTLE FOR IT IS JUST NOT MY CAR FOR I HAVE RESEARCHED HOW MANY CARS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO, AND KNOWING THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS INDICATED ON COMPLAINTS TO GM THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED FOR SAFETY REASONS. IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY GRANDCHILDREN AROUND OR WHEN MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THE CAR I WILL NEVER FORGIVE GM. ESPECIALLY WHERE THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PART. NOW I PUT THIS AS OF 11/1/15 BUT THAT IS NOT THE ONLY TIME IT'S BEEN ONGOING SINCE THEN. I AM VERY WORRIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR, YET IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THIS FIX AND IT IS NOT UNDER A $2,000 WARRANTY INSURANCE I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR. APRIL 2014 IS WHEN I BOUGHT THIS USED CAR AND HAVE HAD IT TOWED 2X ALREADY AND ENGINE LIGHTS ON 2X HAD TO HAVE REPAIRED. SO THINKING THERE HAS TO BE RECALLS ON THIS CAR AND NOTHING IS BEING SHOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING AN ERRATIC SIGNAL, WHICH CAUSED THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,350.

EXTERIOR DRIVER DOOR LOCK FELL OUT OF POSITION AND INTO DOOR PANEL. AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK WOULD HOLD DOOR AS 'LOCKED' COULD NOT OPEN DOOR INSIDE OR OUT SCREW HOLDING THE LOCKING MECHANISM IN POSITION WAS NYLON AND FAILED. DRIVER COULD NOT EXIT AUTOMOBILE !!! IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE DRIVER MIGHT DIE OR PASSENGER(S) IF PASSENGER DOOR FAILED. HAD I NOT HAD TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES (911) FOR EXTRACATION AS THE DRIVER WAS TRAPPED. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT SHOPPING CENTER AND WHEN DRIVER ENTERED AND SHUT DOOR, COULD NOT OPEN DOOR AGAIN AS LOCK FELL 'OUT OF PLACE'

ON/ABOUT 07-24-2015 THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE CAR TO AUTHORIZED CHEVY MECHANIC TO DETERMINE PROBLEM. MODERN CHEVROLET MECHANIC DIAGNOSED TWO DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SENSORS IN PASSENGER AIRBAG. COST TO REPLACE THE SENSORS $1697.48. CONTACTED GM/CHEVY AND WAS INFORMED BY GM/CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT NO ONE WOULD AUTHORIZE REPAIR BECAUSE NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED BY CHEVY. THE NHTSA'S DATABASE HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN # SB-12-09-41-001 STATING THAT GM LLC HAD NOTIFIED IT OF "COUNTERFEIT VEHICLE AIRBAG MODULES FOR CHEVY AVEO MODELS 2011-2015! THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY VIOLATION! I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY TO REPLACE THESE 2 AIRBAG MODULES. CHEVROLET/GM NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2011-2015 CHEVROLET AVEO'S AND REPLACE BOTH PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET AVEO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND CAUSED THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE TO BLOW OUT. IN ADDITION, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,350.

I BOUGHT BY CHEVY AVEO IN 2013 WITH ROUGHLY 27,000 MILES ON IT. I LOVED THAT CAR AND IT WORKED WELL FOR ME UNTIL RECENTLY AT 45,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING, 15-20 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE, THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER AND FAIL TO ACCELERATE. I WOULD PUT THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND AND THE SPEDOMETER WOULD BARELY CREEP UP. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT DID THIS IT "SNAPPED OUT" OF IT AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS LAST TIME I HAD SOME LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID WHICH THE DEALER WROTE OFF AS A "LOOSE RADIATOR CAP". WHEN THE CAP WAS SCREWED BACK ON IT STILL STALLED FOR MY FATHER, AND IT WASN'T FROM OVERHEATING. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I CURRENTLY HAVE IT AT ANOTHER MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHEVROLET. WILL SELL THIS CAR ASAP AND NEVER BUY FROM CHEVY AGAIN!

I BOUGHT MY CHEVY AVEO LT IN 2013 WITH A LITTLE OVER 39,000 AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ONLY STAYING ON SOMETIMES; AND THEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THAT IT WAS STAYING OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AS I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE SENSOR IN THE SET AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $1600 AS IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY AS IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT. I DID A LOT OF LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE AVEO SINCE AT LEAST 2006. THE ONE PERSON THAT FINALLY GOT GM TO FIX THEIRS AFTER A LOT OF WORDS BACK AND FORTH SAYS IT WENT OUT AGAIN 6 MONTHS LATER. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER AS THE PASSENGER IS AT RISK AND IN MY CASE IT IS MY 13 YR OLD GRANDSON I'M RAISING THAT I TAKE BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY MUCH LESS EVERYWHERE ELSE. I'M 68 AND DO NOT HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY THAT IS NEEDED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SO I HOPE G M WILL PLACE THESE CARS ON RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THE AVEOS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR DEAD. *TR

MY DAUGHTER BROUGHT A 2011 CHEVY AVEO IN WISCONSIN. WHEN SHE CAME BACK HOME THERE WERE SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT I USED HER CAR. THE FIRST TIME I DROVE HER CAR I DROVE IT TO WORK. WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE CAR JERKED VERY HARD TO THE LEFT. I HAD TO REALLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL HARDER THAN USUAL TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. I CALLED MY DAUGHTER AND ASKED HER ABOUT THE CAR JERKING TOWARDS INCOMING TRAFFIC. MY DAUGHTER STATED THAT THE CAR DID JERK SOMETIMES. I TOLD MY DAUGHTER TO GO GET THE CAR CHECKED OUT. I TOLD HER TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE JERKING OUT AND WHY THE CAR WAS WEARING OUT TIRES SO FAST. MY DAUGHTER HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND SHE WAS TOLD HER CAR COULDN'T BE ALIGNED. MY MOM, MY OTHER DAUGHTER, HER FATHER, STEP FATHER AND MYSELF DROVE THE CAR AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND IT JERKED WHILE EACH OF US DROVE IT. UNFORTUNATELY, MY DAUGHTER LOST HER LIFE IN AN ACCIDENT IN THAT SAME CHEVY AVEO IN 2014. I WAS TOLD TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT ON AUGUST 1 AT 11:45. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL THE CORONER AND THE STATE TROOPER MET ME IN A WAITING ROOM. THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT MY DAUGHTER PASSED AWAY IN THE CAR ACCIDENT SHE WAS INVOLVED IN. SHE HAD CROSSED OVER THE MEDIAN LINE AND ON THE SHOULDER. SHE TRIED TO CORRECT HERSELF AND GET BACK IN HER LANE AND WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND KILLED INSTANTLY. WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT I KNEW THAT THE CAR HAD JERKED ON HER AGAIN AND THIS TIME COST MY DAUGHTER HER LIFE. YES, IT WAS FOGGY AND DAMP FROM THE RAIN THAT EVENING. THE POLICE STATED THAT A TIRE WAS SLICK AND THE ROAD WAS WET. I WAS VERY GLAD THAT SHE WAS TALKING TO HER FRIEND THAT NIGHT. HER FRIEND WAS THE ONE WHO CALLED THE POLICE WHEN SHE HEARD MY DAUGHTER SCREAM AN THE LINE WENT DEAD. I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO KNOW THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THAT CAR. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR AVEO'S AS WELL. ...UPDATED 02/11/15 *BF
