Car Will Not Start Problems of Chevrolet Aveo

Less than 30,000 miles. Persistent problem (since 2012): engine shuts off by itself. No warning lights on dashboard before each occurrence. Car has been taken to the dealer multiple times. On 08/17/2016 around 11:45 a. M. Car shut off by itself while driving on the middle of a multi-lane (6+) highway. I was able to roll down the automatic window (it worked ) on the driver side, I pressed the warning light (it worked). After multiple attempts car started, and I drove away. The car worked well for a while, took side roads(35mph speed limit). Car shut off by itself a second time. I was able to restarted and made it to a safe location. I have reported this last situation to Chevrolet and they told me to go to a different dealer, and only after pressuring they provided a 100. 00 dollar coupon to get the car checked. Chevrolet claims they had no information on my car's record of shutting down by itself, that they dealer only reports the repairs. However, one of the dealer invoices from 2012 reads: "vehicle stalled", " another invoice reads "car died once", etc. And on the notes it includes "unable to replicate clients concerns". Just because the dealer cannot replicate the failure, it does not mean the car is safe to drive. The car is not safe. The car shut down on us and we were left in the middle of a multi-lane highway with cars going 65+mph. The sudden complete shut off of the car in the middle of any road is a great danger not only to the occupants of the car but to other drivers as well. Other problems: clock/time gets restarted each time I start the car (and it is never right). In multiple occasions, during the morning, the car would not start (but radio and windows work), the car would take several minutes to get started.

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.

Airbag light came on and has not gone off. I have had nothing but problems out of this vehicle. Mar 2010, I took the vehicle in to the dealer for making loud scrubbing noises when turning. I was told it was nothing. Oct 2010 it was electrical problems. I had 19,300 miles on the vehicle when the brake lights went out and check engine light was on. Oct 2012, it was electrical problems and the vehicle would not start at all. I had 30,300 miles on the vehicle and it cost 600. 00 in repairs. June 2013 ,the a/c went out. I had 34,000 miles on the vehicle and it cost 573. 00 to replace the compressor (first and only time I went to another mechanics shop). Sep 2013, the airbag light came on. Gm wants 100. 00 just to run a diagnostic to tell me why it's on. My goodness, as many times as I have brought the vehicle to gm haven't I paid enough in diagnostics? this is ridiculous! I am never buying anything with Chevrolet written on it again. I believe gm knows what is wrong with this vehicle. If I wasn't on a fixed income I would get rid of it.

Car would not start, needle gauges flickering, inside lights on, dash lights on, but would not start or allow vehicle to move out of park. Car acted like it was locked up. Tried jumping vehicle twice but absolutely nothing. All the complaints I have read have been exactly what has happened with my car from the gas surges where I have pulled out into traffic and the car would have no power and I thought I was going to be hit, to the cruise control not working and then spontaneous coming on. We have had the car in for work at least three times for incidentals. I am fixing to trade this in from all the negative responses I have read. I am really worried about the electrical starting a fire, the car seems to have a mind of its own! never have seen needles moving on gauges when car is completely disengaged with no keys even in ignition.

Went to an appointment, came back and car would not start. Had to have it jumped. A few months later went to a store, came back out car would not start had it jumped again. Had the battery checked and it showed a drain on the battery but couldn't find the cause. After having it jumped the next time the check engine light came on for a brief time then went out. Next the check engine light came on and the car immediately stopped running. Had it jumped again, it would turn over but die again. Finally had to have it towed. Took it to one shop and they couldn't find the problem. Now it is being check at another shop. Since this is the only transportation I have, I have had to cancel appointments and rely on others for over a week. This car has been nothing but a problem since I bought it and I feel that I was sold a lemon. Updated 05/02/12 the consumer was informed the computer needed to be reprogrammed.
