| 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. | |||

| At 24000 miles the timing belt had to be replaced due to a worn harmonic balancer. now there are more problems which cannot be duplicated at the dealership. when trying to start the car, it will sometimes not start. after waiting about 5 minutes, it will eventually start. no engine or security lights come on. as you are driving down the road, the car will miss and/or lunge at various speeds. it also does not want to take gas, especially at about 30-35 mph. the vehicle pulls back while accelerating. unknown whether this is fuel system,engine, or transmission related. | |||

| Vehicle lost power to the engine. stepping on the gas pedal did nothing. the car lurched and decelerated quickly. power was suddenly restored to engine causing the car to speed up quickly, then engine lost power again. car came to a stop, engine sputtered and then died. no warning lights came on. restarted engine, car drove as normal. took to dealership, they could find nothing wrong. problem has continued intermittently for almost a year. have taken the car to the dealership multiple times, they can find nothing wrong. the sudden deceleration has occurred at all speeds, including on the freeway almost causing a collision. the car went from 70mph to 40mph in one minute, sputtered for a while, and then came back to drive normally after several minutes. the problem happens within the first ten minutes of driving. it has happened twice in the same day after the car sat for 8 hours. the problem has not occurred for periods as long as two weeks but then comes back. the most extreme occurrences have been on side streets where traffic was not a problem, but if another car had been following closely a rear-end collision would have been certain. my spouse has driven the car and experienced the same problem. | |||
