2004 Chevrolet Aveo Suspension Problems

“Purchased vehicle nearly new from a dealer in may 2005. Handling and steering were stable and predictable, but has deteriorated significantly since roughly 40,000 miles. I now experience severe sloppiness in the steering, excessive body-roll while turning and the car is buffeted in even light winds, especially at speed (55 to 65 MPH) on highways. Under light-to-moderate acceleration, I occasionally experience strong torque steer while running over varying road surfaces or imperfections and will veer suddenly to the right or left. …”

“I purchased my 04 chevy AVEO on june 20,06. Five days later the brakes were metal to metal. My car was not safety inspected before the sale. Since then I have taken the car back to where I purchased it several times and have even had the service manager to ride with me to show him that the brakes are sticking. (the calipers need to be replaced) tim marburger chrysler/dodge tried to say that is was a warped rotor due to excessive mountain driving, my car was only driven 7 miles one way to go camping and 7 miles back once a week. I would hardly call this excessive. …”

“First thing that went wrong with the car is the clock for no reason at all it changes to 12:00 it does it when the car is on and running it also does it when you first turn the car on. This has been replaced once and has failed a second time again. Second is my gear shifter I have an automatic and it sticks in park all the time and all year long the first time it happened I was sitting at a gas pump and I was completely stuck and it wouldn't move so I had the car towed to my dealer and they fixed it but it stuck 10 + more times since 5 times I took it to the dealer and 3 times it was repaired. …”

“The contact stated that the steering made a clunking noise while turning at various speeds. The dealership replaced the control arm, but the problem reoccurred. The manufacturer is designing a new control arm for this model year vehicle.”
