| 2009 | 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. *TR |
