2004 Chevrolet Aveo Vehicle speed control Problems

“As I began to accelerate onto the highway, I felt that my car was not picking up, I could only get to around 40-45mph on a highway that is 65mph. I nearly got rear-ended by cars flying up on me and I quickly pulled off to the shoulder just in time as the power steering also went out and the car appeared to have stopped running. I could not get the car to start again. The diagnostics came back that the timing belt had gone and it could be fixed for anywhere between $800 to needing a brand new motor. …”

“While pulling out from a stand still consumer attempted to drive up a slight incline and depressed the accelerator, but vehicle would not go up the hill. After about 30 seconds vehicle accelerated and climbed the incline. This problem occurred numerous times in the last nine days. Dealer examined the vehicle, and claimed that the air conditioner was the problem.”

“As soon as I started backing out of my apt. Parking place, the accelerator jammed sending my 2004 chevy AVEO backwards into an apt. Across the street. The deputy estimated the speed at 40mph. My car was totaled. The damages to apt. Building required the tenants to move to another apt. That day. There was nothing I could do to stop it. I received minor injuries.”

“I was on the highway on my way to pick up my son. I felt the accelerator clunk and noticed when I entered the exit ramp that I was not slowing down. I applied the brake and as suspect the engine whined due to both brake and accelerator being pushed at the same time. I place it in neutral and came to a stop. I applied the parking brake and tried to dislodge the acceleration pedal. It didn't seem to move but when I put the car back into drive the problem had been remedied. I'm so happy that my son was not in the car and that I was on the highway and not in the city!”
