| 2005 | STEERING | CAR TYPE: CHEVROLET AVEO 2005 MODEL: LS SEDAN WITH 14" WHEELS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IT HAS EXHIBITED VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING (ABOVE 50 MPH) AS WELL AS VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING. CAR WAS TAKEN INTO CHEVY TO BE REPAIRED. CAR STILL VIBRATES. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS EXACT PROBLEM. CHEVY HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKING (ESPECIALLY) IS A SAFETY HAZARD. SINCE CHEVY IS EITHER UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM I'M HOPING THE NHTSA WILL INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. *JB |
