2007 Chevrolet Aveo brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Current model chevrolet aveo rented from enterprise car rental chicago office. Only car I've ever driven with accelerator pedal higher from the floor than brake pedal. Accelerator also very close to brake pedal. In process of moving foot to brake, it was difficult not to make contact with accelerator. On one occasion, contact was accidentally made with the accelerator when attempting to brake and the car lunged into traffic from parking lot. Because of vigilance of other driver, an accident was avoided, but narrowly. Assuming not a sample defect, this appears to be design flaw. *jb updated 12/12/07
I had stated my 2007 chevy aveo, pulled the parking brake very tight. When I returned the car had rolled down the drive and into a neighbors tree. My first thought was, duh, I didn't pull the brake. I got in the car, and the brake was not only pulled, but was only 1 click away from being fully engaged. The driveway my car was on, was no more than a 10-15 degree angel, the car was not loaded with a lot of excess weight. Again the parking brake was fully engaged. Why in the world did this simple part fail? It seems to work now, but that second it failed. My car was only damaged it is only a matter of time before someone is killed from a rolling aveo that was in park. Thank you for your time.
