I BOUGHT THIS 2007 CHEVY AVEO BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 9 MILES ON IT. AFTER I PUT ABOUT 33,000 MILES THE A/C WENT OUT... ON A BRAND NEW CAR! THEN THE CONSOLE WITH THE SHIFTERS LIGHTS WENT OUT, BLINKERS WOULD STOP BLINKING AND JUST STAY GREEN. I WENT TO START MY CAR AT 10PM AND IT WOULDN'T START IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE THEN KEPT CLICKING. SO I JUMPED IT AND DROVE AROUND TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. I HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. GO BACK AND THE NEXT MORNING IT DOESN'T START AGAIN, ALL I GOT WAS A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT COULD BE THE STARTER OR THE ALTERNATOR AND THAT I SHOULD PAY TO GET THEM BOTH TESTED AND REPLACED IF NEEDED. THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOME TYPE OF A RECALL IF I GOOGLE IT AND EVERYONE HAS THE SAME ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE PROBLEMS. THERE IS NO WAY THAT A 3 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD BE NEEDING MAJOR A/C REPAIRS, ELECTRICAL, AND ENGINE REPAIRS SO SOON. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS!! *TR

MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON, SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON MY 2007 CHEVY AVEO. THEY FOUND THAT IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THE TOYOTAS HAD WHEN RECALLED. IT IS THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR. I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT DON'T GET FIXED, EITHER THE GAS PEDAL WILL STICK OR IT COULD JUST STOP AND NOT GO ANYWHERE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR ALMOST 1 YR. AND IT ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
