| 2008 | SUSPENSION | PURCHASED NEW 2008 AVEO IN APRIL 2007 WHICH HAS EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. I TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED IT WAS DUE TO THE AC CAUSING EXTRA WORK FOR THE MOTOR. SINCE IT WAS SUMMER TIME I WENT ON MY WAY AND DEALT WITH THIS VIBRATION (WHICH ONLY HAPPENS WHILE IN DRIVE) IT IS NOW JANUARY AND NO AC IS BEING USED. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD YES THERE IS EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AND WE WILL LOOK INTO IT 4 HOURS LATER THEY CALLED TO LET ME KNOW THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND EVEN CONTACTED THE GM ADVISORS AND ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS ISSUE HOWEVER SINCE THERE IS NOT SERVICE BULLETIN OR RECALL REGARDING THIS I WILL HAVE TO JUST DEAL WITH IT AND WAIT AND SEE IF SOMETHING COMES UP WITH A FIX. I CANNOT BELIEVE I AM HAVING TO JUST DEAL WITH A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ISSUES...THIS CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY..SHIFTER LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT MOVE FROM PARK SO THEY REPLACED THAT...THEN CAR DIES ON HWY AND WAS TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO FIX SOMETHING THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE, PAINT IN NOW PEELING AND ONLY HAS 11,000 MILES ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. *TR |
| 2011 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 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 |
