      So my car died....

      driving home tonight, my car all of a sudden decided to stop. the more i pressed the gas pedal the less power it had, and the faster it dropped in rpm... coasted to a stop in the fast lane of a 4 lane highway... Waiting on the GM roadside tow truck now ( i called and got a ride home from a friend)..

      2009 with 6421 miles...

      i'll keep everyone posted..

      Sounds like a sensor blew. I had the MAP sensor give out, and it resulted in some really unusual behavior. If I pressed the gas lightly, the car stalled. If I floored it, it would sputter and then rev up. Made for a crappy drive home, and a drained battery to boot.

      You just had bad luck, should be a defective sensor. And you left ur car on the highway? Did it take long for the truck to come? Keep us updated.

      sam, i agree, the 04 are the best with out all that drive by wire throtle bodys and other electonic bits that were added over the years, and i also hate how the clutch feels in the 09.

      dealer called: the fuel pump died and there are only two available in the US, both on the west coast.

      they are going to be putting me in a rental.

      only 2 fuel pumps? aren't they the same as the rest of aveos and some other cars?

      if that is true then that just bad luck, and doen't realy reflex on the quality of the 09's.
