2009 Chevrolet Aveo Brakes Problems

“My 2009 aveo5 2009. My brakes keep going out. But I am having to replace my wheel bearings 3 times in last 3 years. I don't understand why. I am scared because the back one is now making lots of noise so I know it's another wheel bearing grinding.is this considered in the recall of 2014 on AVEO 5 2009.”

“I was stopped at a red light waiting to make a left southbound turn at approximately 10:30 p.m. The AVEO malfunctioned on turning. I ended up going southbound in the northbound turning lane and was completely stopped. I was unable to start the car, change gears, turn on headlights, or turn on flashers to warn other drivers of impending danger. The car was completely stalled with absolutely nothing working - confirmed by police, a friend, and wrecker operator. It was impossible to even push the car to a safe location as the wheels would not move/turn. …”

“As a father I am writing this on behalf of my 18yr old daughter. This vehicle has lost steering, brakes and acceleration 3 times over 2 years of ownership. Each time has been at low speeds (2mph - 10mph) while driving at low speeds in traffic, the AVEO will loose the ability to accelerate, no matter how far the gas pedal is pushed down. The brakes only work slightly, and the pedal is hard push down. The steering is very unresponsive, similar to the brake issue it's hard to steer. While the above 3 issues happen at once, the engine is at idle. To fix, she has to turn the car off and restart.”

“Driving at about 35 MPH and the car shut down. No power steering, no brakes and no throttle response. Had to use the emergency brake to get it slowed down and stopped. Took it to the dealer and they required a $100 fee to even look at it because it is a year newer than the ones on recall.”

“The piston is pushing the brakes and keeping applied all the time. We have replace the calipers, booster and master cylinder. We have replaced the brakes 4 times on the front and twice on the back in 12 month. The car sometime will not go over 20 miles MPH due to the brakes. The whole car violently shakes at 50 MPH on the highway and you can't control it. We bought the car in june 2015 and one week later we were replacing rear brakes. We bought it from the largest dealership in arkansas, you would have thought they would have checked this out.”
