| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | 2005 AVEO 63,000 THIS AVEO QUIT PULLING OUT FROM THE TURNPIKE BOOTH ON PA.43. IT WAS TOWED TO FIKE CHEVROLET WHERE I WAS TOLD THE TIMING TENSIONER PULL SPLIT IN HALF THROWING THE TIMING BELT OFF. SINCE THIS IS A INTERFERENCE ENGINE ( MEANING WITHOUT THE TIMING BELT THE VALVES HIT THE PISTONS) IT CAUSES A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD AND POSSIBLE PISTON DAMAGE. THE DEALER SALVAGE YARDS AND MOST OTHER MECHANICS ADMIT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PLASTIC PULLEYS AND TIMING BELT. GM SAYS (IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF THEM ) AND WILL NOT COMPENSATE FOR DAMAGES. I ASK GM IF THEY RECORDED MY CONVERSATION AND THEY DO BUT WILL NOT ALLOW ME A COPY BECAUSE IT'S FOR (INTERNAL USE ONLY) THIS AVEO HAD IT'S TIMING BELT AND HEAD REPLACED AT 11,400 MILE AND AT THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS UNDER THE MILEAGE FOR RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT. FRONT WHEEL BEARING ALSO WHERE REPLACE 4 MONTHS AGO. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND LAST GM PRODUCT I WILL EVER BUY . *TR |
