THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000. UPDATED 6/8/11 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE CASE WAS CLOSED. 06/13/11

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 CHEVY AVEO BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 9 MILES ON IT. AFTER I PUT ABOUT 33,000 MILES THE A/C WENT OUT... ON A BRAND NEW CAR! THEN THE CONSOLE WITH THE SHIFTERS LIGHTS WENT OUT, BLINKERS WOULD STOP BLINKING AND JUST STAY GREEN. I WENT TO START MY CAR AT 10PM AND IT WOULDN'T START IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE THEN KEPT CLICKING. SO I JUMPED IT AND DROVE AROUND TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. I HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. GO BACK AND THE NEXT MORNING IT DOESN'T START AGAIN, ALL I GOT WAS A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT COULD BE THE STARTER OR THE ALTERNATOR AND THAT I SHOULD PAY TO GET THEM BOTH TESTED AND REPLACED IF NEEDED. THERE HAS GOT TO...

I BOUGHT MY AVEO NEW. AT ONLY 6,000 MILES THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND 5,000 MILES LATER THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND I CRASHED--THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. GM WOULD FIXED THE BRAKE BOOSTER BUT NOT THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR! AT 13,000 MILES THE BRAKE DRUMS NEEDED TO BE RE-SURFACED, THE BRAKE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE CUT, AND I HAD TO GET NEW BRAKE PADS--AGAIN GM WOULD NOT FIX IT AND MADE ME PAY FOR IT. AT 16,000 MILES THE AIR BAG SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER FAILED. AT 18,000 MILES THE GAS GAUGE FAILED AND THE SHIFTER GOT STUCK IN PARK, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD WORK ON AND OFF. AT 20,000 MILES THE ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AROUND THIS TIME, GAS MILEAGE DIPPED TO ABOUT 19-21MPG, BUT GM COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. AT 30,000 MILES I HAD TO GET NEW ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS--AGAIN...

THE CONTACT LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER ON FOUR OCCASIONS FOR REPAIR, BUT NO WORK WAS EVER PERFORMED. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND SUNNY AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.
