      Abs system fail -life risk

      Critical ABS problem -risk life
      My daughter owns Chevrolet car type Avio ls .
      The car production year 2008 ,
      This car treated\serviced ONLY in GM authorized garage and stand all the
      services needed by time\distance,
      Last week the car enter (the same garage we receive the service for last 4
      years) for "big treatment service" =10,000 K"M
      the care did not face any problems before the service and no warning lights
      .
      The service included : brakes,timing chain,oil,filters ........... and cost
      over 650us$

      The car was picked up same day and after few days less then 40 k"m driving (25 miles) -the
      car went of control during driving at a speed of 50 kmh (34mph) and the
      breaks did not function the car engine noises loud and the car shudder
      performance ,
      the car was stopped only by hitting other car (accident) ,
      lucky with no body hurt only car"s damage .

      we called the garage and were asked to bring the car -that what we have done
      , after half day of connecting to computer and driving the car by the garage workers,
      We were advised to come and receive the car back "everything is ok -the car
      is safe for driving " !
      The day after during driving the car -the same event happened -the car lost
      again its brakes !!!! once again we were lucky with no harm to anyone.

      Again we contacted the garage and were told NOT TO TOUCH the car , the
      garage people will come to pick up the car.
      The car was picked up -and after over 5 days of testing -no indication was
      found ,
      We were told that the problem in the car is "ABS SYSTEM PROBLEM" -SAME
      PROBLEM WHICH APPEARS IN RECALL OF ALL CHEVROLET CARS
      YEARS 2007-2010 " !

      We asked the garage to fix it immediately - the garage owner contacted UMI (GM OWNER IN ISRAEL)
      and advised on the problem and asked the approval to replace the ABS system
      with no charge , but was refused !!!
      UMI office advised that eventhough the problem is same problem as the recall
      subject , the car year (200 was not included in the recall list
      (2009-2010),
      That is opposite to the garage owner advise that its the same ABS SYSTEM
      PROBLEM as the recall reason !

      When we asked the garage to let us have written document of the ABS system
      problem -we were refused !
      When we asked the garage to let us written document that the car safe
      driving -we were refused !
      The garage owner told us he was instructed by UMI not to give any written
      information -BUT WARNS US NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR!

      We are lost now -the car "stuck" in the garage, we can not drive it from
      safety reasons or sale it ,
      We are asked to pay over 1,800$ on our account to replace the ABS system
      although its original system problem.

      We wish to learn if anyone with same car Aveo ls year 2008 -faced\face same problem ?

      Your help on this issue is needed .

      Thank you for your attention,
      Best regards,

      Just a question, did the car stop fine before your 'recall' mess? If it stops fine, I would just ask to get the car back and drive on my merry way. Some recalls are just clever marketing IMO.
