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

VEHICLE LOOSES POWER WHILE AT CRUISING SPEED WITH NO WARNING. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 24 MONTHS. DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. THIS IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE AND HARD TO DUPLICATE. ACKS LIKE IT IS VAPOR LOCKING. I SUSPECT A DEFECT IN THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. FORTUNATELY I HAVE NOT BEEN IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS AND THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES OF LACKING POWER AND ONCE I EVEN LOST TOTAL POWER AND HAD TO COAST ONTO A SIDE ROAD. I CAN HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND IT SLOWLY ACCELERATES TO SPEED. IT GENERALLY TENDS TO OCCUR AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 50-60 MPH AND FLARES UP WHEN THE TEMP IS ABOUT 60-65 DEGREES F OUTSIDE. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AS WELL AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON AFTER UNDER 2 YEARS OF THIS ISSUE AND IT SAYS CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD. BANK 1 (CODE # P0420). THERE ARE ONLY JUST OVER 41,000 MILES ON MY CAR NOW. *TR
