2007 CHEVROLET AVEO Complaints

THE ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AFTER BRAKE FAILURE. SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE OR MAKING RIGHT TURN BENDS MY BRAKES FAIL AND I CAN NOT STOP IF I HAD TO. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. I HAVE ALMOST HAD NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM!! IT CAN BE FIXED BUT CHEVROLET SHOULD FIX IT AT NO COST TO ME. IT IS A SAFETY RECALL AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED! THIS IS NOT A MINOR PROBLEM AND OTHER VEHICLES OF MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR ARE MORE THAN LIKELY EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM HAVING! THE EXACT PART THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ARE THE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSORS FOR THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT BRAKE. *TR

WHILE CAR WAS PARKED I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT TO DRIVE. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO MY JOB AND HAVE IT TOWED. LUCKILY THE TOW GUY KNEW WHERE THE EMERGENCY BYPASS WAS OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE HAD TO WAIT FOR A CRANE TO LIFT IT. AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKE SENSOR AND MY GEAR SHIFT. ACCORDING TO TOW GUY THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT. THANK GOODNESS I WASN'T DRIVING IT WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE THROTTLE IS SOMETIMES STUCK IN A LOWER GEAR CAUSING ME TO MOVE AT A LIMITED SPEED WHILE ON THE ROAD. THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE SUCH AS ERRATIC ACCELERATION, BUT ONLY RECENTLY IT HAS BECOME STUCK. *TR

MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON, SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON MY 2007 CHEVY AVEO. THEY FOUND THAT IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THE TOYOTAS HAD WHEN RECALLED. IT IS THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR. I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT DON'T GET FIXED, EITHER THE GAS PEDAL WILL STICK OR IT COULD JUST STOP AND NOT GO ANYWHERE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR ALMOST 1 YR. AND IT ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM CODE WAS RESET. HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN OF THE OTHER SERVICE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE.

CHEVROLET AVEO 2007 ABS BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE TO BRAKE DURING SLOW SPEEDS AND ONE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. I CURRENTLY HAVE 98,000+ MILES ON A CHEVROLET AVEO 2007 AND WHILE RECENTLY GETTING SEVERAL SERVICES COMPLETED IN THE $500 RANGE I GOT NEW BRAKE PADS ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY WERE WORM OUT. I WAS ALSO HAVING BREAKING PROBLEMS WHILE PARKING MY VEHICLE. THE ABS DON'T ALLOW THE BREAKS TO ENGAGE AND I HAVE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK. ITS NOW BEEN AROUND 3 MONTHS SINCE NOVEMBER 2009 WHEN THE ABS BREAKING SYSTEM BEGAN TO FAIL AND MY VEHICLE STOPPING HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE DEALER REFUSES TO COVER THE PARTS UNDER WARRANTY NOR TO CHECK THE PROBLEM FOR FREE. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUSE WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED AS HEARING THE PCM CAN RESET CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO WORK AGAIN AS IT DID UNTIL THIS YEAR. I RECENTLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHOM HAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED MY VEHICLE FOR $69.99 PLUS TAX. A SPEED SENSOR BAD WAS DIAGNOSED AND IS GETTING FIXED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS PART ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND COST $150. THE ABS GOING BAD ON THE HIGHWAY WAS THE FINAL CALL WHEN PULLING OFF THE INTERSTATE AT 35 MPH AND DURING PARKING/SLOW SPEEDS I'M REQUIRED TO USE THE PARKING BREAK. THE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THIS PART AND COSTS $150.00 PLUS LABOR HOURS. I FEEL AS THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DEALER. BASED ON BEING REQUIRED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO STOP MY VEHICLE DURING SOME STOPS I FIND THIS A VERY HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
