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.
