| 2006 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | MY 2006 CHEVY AVEO HATCHBACK WAS SITTING PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND HAD NOT BEEN TURNED ON IN THE LAST 12 HOURS. MY DOGS STARTED TO BARK, AND THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR ALARM WAS GOING OFF, VERY QUIETLY. I WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE AND THAT IT WAS COMING OUT OF MY AIR VENTS AS WELL. HOWEVER THE ENGINE WAS NOT ON FIRE, NOR WAS IT EFFECTED. I TRIED IMMEDIATELY TO UNLOCK MY CAR, BUT MY LOCKS HAD GONE OUT, SO I HAD TO USE MY KEY AND MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOORS. IT WAS ONCE THE SMOKED CLEARED I COULD SEE MY DASH WAS COMPLETELY MELTED IN WHERE MY AIR VENTS AND CLOCK ONCE WERE. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT IT HURT THE CD PLAYER DIRECTLY BELOW IT HOWEVER. MY WINDOWS ARE RUINED BY THE SMOKE AS WELL AND THEY ARE DARKENED WHERE THE "FIRE" STARTED. PRIOR TO THIS DAY MY BATTERY HAS GONE DEAD TWICE, BUT THERE WAS NOT WARNING SIGNS THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I NEVER RECEIVED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT. IT NEVER SHOWED ANY PROBLEMS OPERATING OTHER THAN THE TWO DEAD BATTERIES. *TR |
| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND WENT THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH FOR COFFEE. NOTICED THAT WHILE IDLE, MY CAR STARTED TO OVER HEAT. CONTINUED ON TO WORK APPROX 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I GOT THERE I OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND THAT A HOSE WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THEN I NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC HOUSING ITSELF WAS CRACKED IN HALF AND HANGING OFF THE CAR. IT COST ME ABOUT $80 FOR A REPLACEMENT METAL PART WHICH I HAD INSTALLED BY A FRIEND. THIS HAPPENED DURING THE SUMMER 2010; CAR HAD APPROX 51,000 MILES. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 2010, AND CAR HAS APPROX 56,00 MILES. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A CAR PART STORE TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE CODE. APPARENTLY NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE OXYGEN SENSOR, WHICH COSTS ABOUT $150.00 + LABOR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2007 AND STILL HAVE ABOUT 2 YEARS LEFT TO PAY ON IT. THE WARRANTY IS NO LONGER GOOD. *TR |
