“My daughter was driving on the highway and streets the car will loose speed while your driving and stall as if it's not getting fuel. She was on the expressway and lucky she was in the right lane and was able to coast to the shoulder before the car died out. I had this problem check several times and replaced the fuel pump and fuel sensor and still am having the problem. I have an appointment with the dealer for a diagnostic test on 10-1-2015”

“While driving on the interstate heading home, the vehicle stopped. Luckily I was able to coast to the side. I was told it was the ignition coils and that there was an open recall on the vehicle for this issue. I had the vehicle towed to a Chevrolet dealership. They fixed the problem so I thought. Now, on october 28, 2013 with my 4 year old son in the car the vehicle stopped in the middle of the street. I had the vehicle towed to the same dealership. …”

“Upon approaching a red light, I began slowing down and immediately the car started sputtering and once at a complete stop, the car rapidly vibrated for 5 seconds and then completely shut down. I waited a few seconds to try and restart and was able to make it home. This issue has been going on in different severities over the course of the past 7 months, dating back to october 2013. At other times the vehicle will begin decelerating while my foot is on the accelerator. …”

“I was driving and the car slowed down in traffic. It then started to buck then die out! When I started it up again, it started and drove for a short period and died out again in traffic! I have had two or three o2 sensors replaced, even in the first year of ownership,, new off the lot. This vehicle has had the signal switch replaced, the clock went out two years ago, and now it loses power in traffic. This is proving go be a very dangerous vehicle and I hope no one has to die before something is done to remedy the situation!”

“2009 AVEO, started april 2010, at a traffic light, the car began to shake. The tach needle was jumping between 500 and 1500. It was acting like it was about to die than tach jumped up. I heard the engine surge. Light changed and car barely moved. I pressed gas pedal to floor but car would lunge forward than act to stall. I put injector cleaner in next fuel tank. Thought it was fixed. 3-weeks later as I was crossing a four lane road, car act as I described above, tach needle bounce between 500 and 1500, car sputtered and surged. Took car to GM dealer, their computer found no problems or codes. …”
