Description of the problem	As i began to accelerate onto the highway, i felt that my car was not picking up, i could only get to around 40-45mph on a highway that is 65mph. I nearly got rear-ended by cars flying up on me and i quickly pulled off to the shoulder just in time as the power steering also went out and the car appeared to have stopped running. I could not get the car to start again. The diagnostics came back that the timing belt had gone and it could be fixed for anywhere between $800 to needing a brand new motor. This floored me as i always had the oil and fluids replaced and the car only had 84k miles on it. I began to research the aveo and bam, there it was, over and over again on-line. Owners all complaining of the same problem with their aveo. The timing belt on the aveo, especially the 04-07 models go and will require anywhere from a major fix to a brand new engine. This is a big problem on a little car. I went on craigslist to look for a new engine, but instead found 10 aveos in one hour... That were being sold for parts because their timing belt went! Please take a look at this problem, i believe there is a major problem with the aveo deserving of a recall, and owners should be made aware of this serious problem and the persistent need to have their timing belt replaced or face a total engine replacement. I could have easily been rear-ended or worse because of the loss of power and power steering. Thank you.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
