Some tires as little as 15000 miles have had it checked for alignment which was at specs. This problem has resulted in sudden loss of air pressure with near collision. This to me is a huge safety problem and needs gm to back up this problem and make corrections.

Sometimes when it is windy specially on the bridges or highway,or when a semi comes from opposite direction, the car will sort of jerk & get a loud squealing noise and the force will make the car to be very unstable while driving like if the car would be pulled by a great force, I told the dealer on numerous occasions about the problem and even showed them a video recording I did while driving the vehicle and they never did anything about it. This vehicle has become a great risk for me and my family and im scared of even going on trips with this car.

Sometimes when it is windy,or when a semi comes from opposite direction, the car will sort of jerk & get a loud squealing noise. Have told the dealer where we got the car twice now & they said it is just a noise from the aerodynamics . I have asked another person if they had this with their aveo & they said no. This has happened a lot for the last several months. There were times in both 2007 & 2008.
