2010 CHEVROLET AVEO. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE NOT HAVING POWER *TGW SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONSUMER BEGAN EXPERIENCING SITUATIONS WHERE THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER. SHE WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN, AND WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. SHE WOULD PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WOULD GO AGAIN. THE DEALER PERFORMED THE PO132 BULLETIN 100604012. THE CONSUMER THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE, BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOR THE SECOND TIME AND SHE CONTINUED TO HAVE NO POWER. THE CONSUMER THEN WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER, WHERE THEY REPLACED THE 02 SENSOR. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, SHE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM WHICH WAS PERFORMED ON MAY 22, 2012. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, THE POWER ISSUE CONTINUED. *JB
