2009 CHEVROLET AVEO Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

I HAVE A 2009 AVEO 4 DOOR WITH HATCHBACK I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN APRIL 2010. WE HAVE HAD TONS OF ISSUES WITH IT. IT HAD A BATTERY LEAK DUE TO A BAD WELD JOB THAT CRACKED THE BATTERY AND ACID WENT THROUGHT THE ENGINE AREA (AND ALL OVER OUR NEW HOME'S GARAGE AND DRIVE) ALL THE FRONT END HAS BEEN REPLACED FROM THE AXLE, CV BOOTS, LOWER CONTROL ARMS (JUST REPLACED YESTERDAY). THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MULITPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND STAYS IN THE SHOP. NOW--NEW ISSUE---HUBBY WAS DRIVING HOME IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED MOVING. IT WAS REVVING UP BUT THE CAR WAS OUT OF GEAR SO HE AND HIS CAR POOL BUDDY PUSHED IT OFF THE ROAD, SHUT IT OFF, AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT IT DID NOT WANT TO START BACK UP. THEY WALKED AROUND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND DRIVE AS IF THE CONTACT HAD SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS HESITANT FOR A MOMENT BEFORE ENGAGING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR SPORADICALLY AT VARIOUS SPEED AND ROAD CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE FOUR TIMES YET THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED TO REPORT THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 5 MPH TO A STOP. AS HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO HESITANT TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NINE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,200.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN OUR NEW 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO. IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER JUMPED OR WAS SLIGHTLY BUMPED (ALTHOUGH I DON'T RECALL BUMPING IT) FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL AT 65 MPH. FORTUNATELY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO SHOULDER TO RETURN TO DRIVE POSITION (DIDN'T KNOW IF GOING FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE AT HIGH SPEED WOULD HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE). REPORTED PROBLEM TO AUTO DEALER WHO SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS NORMAL, DOES SAME THING ON COBALT MODEL! NOTE: WE CAN PUSH SHIFTER FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL AT ANY SPEED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER. HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONE TIME SO FAR. *TR
