While driving 50 mph the car suddenly lost power. . Gas pedal was not responding and car went down to 10 mph third time this has happened first and second time were on the same drive( nine or so months ago) but car dead stopped the first time then started again and stopped and regained power again. The third time car regained power and continued on. Traffic behind me had to go around me abruptly . . . . Very dangerous . .
At stop sign pressed on gas . . . No power ! car was still on but gas pedal not responding .
My vehicle would not start on a trip to florida and my boyfriend and I had to push start it all the way back to ohio. As soon as we got back I got back I got the clutch switch repaired which was $300. Then I went on a second trip to florida in July and once I arrived I got in my car to go somewhere and it would not start yet again. I took it to a repair shop where they could not find them problem yet still charged me $220 because it just started randomly. As soon as I took it back to the place I was staying in florida and turned it off, I tried to start it again and it would not. My sister and I push started it and I took it to a chevy dealer repair place and they informed me the clutch switch needed programmed and I paid $90 for that. The car was finally starting smoothly again until 10/27/2014 when again the car would not start. I took it to the chevy dealship o bought it at and they informed me that I I needed a new ignition switch and that it would cost $315. I am tired of this car I have only had it for four years and it only has 65000 miles on it. This has been a continuing problem and she be included in the ignition recall because it was obviously a faulty part. Because of the problems I have had with this car I will never by chevy or gm for that matter ever again.
This has happened every few months. Most times thankfully it has only happened in parking lots. But it happened to me when I pulled out on a busy highway and it happened to my son today as he pulled out on a busy highway. I am scared for my son's safety. I paid a lot for this car as a used car from a chevy dealer I can not seem to get anyone who knows what the problem is. The chevy place said they could only help if if happen while they had it. Other places have said the same. I think gm should take responsibility for making a car with a dangerous problem. I have seen a lot of reviews of Aveo owners who have this problem and are facing the same frustration. Could you make gm at least give people who have bought this car they want to get rid some kind of voucher for a trade in. They could use it for the sake of their family's safety and their sanity.
