“Vehicle looses power while at cruising speed with no warning. Has happened several times over the past 24 months. Dealer can not duplicate issue. This is a random occurrence and hard to duplicate. Acks like it is vapor locking. I suspect a defect in the fuel injection system. Fortunately I have not been in high speed traffic when this happens.”

“I bought by chevy AVEO in 2013 with roughly 27,000 miles on it. I loved that car and it worked well for me until recently at 45,000 miles. While driving, 15-20 minutes into the drive, the car would lose power and fail to accelerate. I would put the pedal all the way to the ground and the spedometer would barely creep up. The first two times it did this it snapped out of it and drove the rest of the way with no problems. This last time I had some leaking radiator fluid which the dealer wrote off as a loose radiator cap . …”

“I bought a chevy AVEO back in feb 2014. Was on way home sometime in august and getting on to highway from ramp would not accelerate and running hot according to temp gauge. I got it towed to shop and called the next day to find they could not find nothing wrong!! So I picked up the car and about three weeks later on way home this time only on back roads doing 35, the car does same thing. What is it gonna take for chevy to fix this issue that I have seen numerous complaints about. I am not able to just go but another car!!!! Wake up Chevrolet!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Takata recall as I was heading to work one morning the light I was waiting at turned green as I got ready to go my car shut off completely, but restarted. Ifound out my car was leaking oil on my head gaskets causing it to shut off. My sales rep managed to talk his mechanic to fix that. Now my car has a problem with the fuel injectors causing the take off not to be proper & draining my gas!!”
