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. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY AVEO (ONLY HAD IT FOR SIX MONTHS) THAT PULLS TO THE LEFT WHENEVER I LET GO OF THE WHEEL. NOT JUST A SLIGHT PULL BUT A SERIOUS PULL. THE SERVICE PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT WHEN THEY ASKED THEIR MAIN TECH'S THEY WERE TOLD THAT'S JUST THE NATURE OF SMALLER CARS. ONLY THING THEY SAID TO DO WAS TO CHANGE THE TIRES FROM ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER, THAT COULD FIX IT. WELL IT DIDN'T. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY CAN DO WHAT'S CALLED AN ADJUSTMENT MISALIGNMENT, WON'T THAT CAUSE TROUBLE WITH THE OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR? I HAVE HAD SMALLER CARS THAN THIS AND THEY NEVER DID PULL TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. WHY DOES THIS ONE ACT DIFFERENT, AND NOT SINCE I BOUGHT IT BUT IT JUST STARTED? I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THE COMPANY NOT DOING ANYTHING TO CORRECT IT. *TR
