NHTSA Complaint #10568002 — 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO

THE CAR LOST POWER FOR NO REASON . IT DID NOT FULLY STALL BUT LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT RESPOND. IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD, BARELY GO, THEN RECOVER SLIGHTLY. THIS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY AND WAS FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS. THE BATTERY LIGHT BEGAN TO GO OFF AND ON. MECHANICS COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND BATTERY OK. IN NOVEMBER, CAR LOST POWER IN TRAFFIC, ALMOST HAD WRECK, BARELY MADE IT TO SHOP. "STRANGELY SWOLLEN" BATTERY FOUND AND REPLACED. COMPUTER AND ALL SYSTEMS CHECKED. INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN. BACK IN SHOP. CLUTCH REPLACED, TUBE REPLACED IN ENGINE, ETC. COST $ 1500. CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE BUT ONLY FOR DAYS. BEGAN DOING SAME THING AGAIN. BUT WHEN I TAKE IT TO MECHANICS, CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. IT SEEMED TO POSSIBLY BE TRIGGERED AND HAPPENED MORE OFTEN IF I USED ONSTAR BUILT IN PHONE. HAD IT TURNED OFF AND THOUGHT THAT SOMEHOW FIXED PROBLEM BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY IN TRAFFIC WITH MY 93 YR OLD MOM IN CAR. TERRIFYING.. CAN'T GET OUT OF WAY IF CAR COMING IN INTERSECTION. NO ONE HELPS ME FIND A SOLUTION. I CONTACTED GM ONLINE THEY SAID THEY KNOW OF NO SUCH PROBLEM. HUNDREDS OF POSTS ONLINE FROM AVEO OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IF THIS ISN'T MADE PUBLIC.. WE NEED A RECALL . HELP PLEASE! *TR
