2011 CHEVROLET AVEO Steering Problems

MY DAUGHTER BROUGHT A 2011 CHEVY AVEO IN WISCONSIN. WHEN SHE CAME BACK HOME THERE WERE SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT I USED HER CAR. THE FIRST TIME I DROVE HER CAR I DROVE IT TO WORK. WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE CAR JERKED VERY HARD TO THE LEFT. I HAD TO REALLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL HARDER THAN USUAL TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. I CALLED MY DAUGHTER AND ASKED HER ABOUT THE CAR JERKING TOWARDS INCOMING TRAFFIC. MY DAUGHTER STATED THAT THE CAR DID JERK SOMETIMES. I TOLD MY DAUGHTER TO GO GET THE CAR CHECKED OUT. I TOLD HER TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE JERKING OUT AND WHY THE CAR WAS WEARING OUT TIRES SO FAST. MY DAUGHTER HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND SHE WAS TOLD HER CAR COULDN'T BE ALIGNED. MY MOM, MY OTHER DAUGHTER, HER FATHER, STEP FATHER AND MYSELF DROVE THE CAR...

I WAS DRIVING ON A BACKROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. MY ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING ME TO LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT AND PULL MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. I THEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED MY CAR. IT STARTED FINE. IT IS NOW AT A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL STALLING ON THEM AS WELL.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR ABOUT A YEAR TO NO AVAIL. MY 2011 CHEVY AVEO 1.4L HAS A VERY BAD VIBRATION AT IDLE THAT CAN BE FELT ON THE WHOLE FRONT END AND THROUGH TO THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED (THEY HAD BROKEN), REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, AND MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO SIT BETTER. UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF THIS HAS RECTIFIED THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH CHEVY'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT HAS PROVEN USELESS AND DEALERSHIPS STATING THAT THIS IS JUST WHAT THE CAR DOES. I'M CONCERNED THAT SINCE THIS VIBRATION CAN BREAK MOTOR MOUNTS IT CAN OBVIOUSLY CAUSE DAMAGE ELSEWHERE. I NOW HAVE A BURNING SMELL THAT CAN'T SEEM TO BE LOCATED AND NONE AT CHEVY SEEMS TO BE CONCERNED. *TR

12-1-12 PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM [XXX], THE VEHICLE HAD A SLIGHT PULL AND SALE PERSON SAID IT WAS JUST THE LOW TIRE. WHILE FILLING OUT PAPERWORK AND FINANCE DOCS VEHICLE WAS DETAILED AND TIRE WAS ADJUSTED. WE HAD THE FINANCE PEOPLE PUT AN EXTRA CLAUSE IN ABOUT THE TIRE AND THE ISSUE BEING FIXED. 1/3/13- CAR GOES IN BECAUSE OF IT PULLING AND TIRE LIGHT ON- THEY SAID IT WAS JUST BECAUSE THE DETAIL PERSON OVER FILLED ALL OF THE TIRES. BECAUSE OF MEDICAL SURGERIES I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR FROM TIME OF PURCHASE UNTIL JANUARY 29, 2013. I GAVE IT A MONTH JUST BECAUSE I WAS GOING FROM AN SUV TO THIS SMALL CAR AND I KEPT THINKING THAT IT WAS JUST THE DIFFERENCE IN CARS. THEN I DECIDED NO THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. 3/2/13 BACK TO [XXX] FOR PULLING AND WHISTLE NOISE. SHOP CROSS...

WHEN TURNING VEHICLE ALL THE WAY TO LEFT OR RIGHT BRAKES FAIL TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AND GIVES YOU LESS THAN 10% BRAKING FUNCTION. IS NOT INTERMITTENT, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS TURNED COMPLETELY TO LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT ABNORMALLY THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR A WHEEL AND STEERING ALIGNMENT BUT NONE OF THE REPAIRS REMEDIED THE STEERING ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE FAILURE COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 607. UPDATED 01/14/11*LJ
