| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | THE TIMING BELT ON MY 2004 CHEVY AVEO BROKE AT 55,000 MILES. GM RECOMMENDS THAT THE TIMING BELT ON AVEOS BE REPLACED AT 60,000 MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF AVEO TIMING BELTS BREAKING BETWEEN 50,000 TO 56,000 MILES; HOWEVER, GM HAS NOT POSTED A WARNING ON THEIR WEBSITE, NOR HAVE DEALERSHIPS BEEN INFORMED. A CLOSER INSPECTION OF MY CAR REVEALED THAT THE IDLER PULLEY, WHICH IS MADE OF PLASTIC, MELTED AND MOLDED ITSELF TO THE ENGINE BLOCK, WHICH IS WHAT CAUSED THE BELT TO BREAK. *TR |
| 2008 | AIR BAGS | AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS NOT GONE OFF. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. MAR 2010, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER FOR MAKING LOUD SCRUBBING NOISES WHEN TURNING. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING. OCT 2010 IT WAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HAD 19,300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. OCT 2012, IT WAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I HAD 30,300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND IT COST 600.00 IN REPAIRS. JUNE 2013 ,THE A/C WENT OUT. I HAD 34,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND IT COST 573.00 TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR (FIRST AND ONLY TIME I WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANICS SHOP). SEP 2013, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. GM WANTS 100.00 JUST TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TO TELL ME WHY IT'S ON. MY GOODNESS, AS MANY TIMES AS I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO GM HAVEN'T I PAID ENOUGH IN DIAGNOSTICS? THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I AM NEVER BUYING ANYTHING WITH CHEVROLET WRITTEN ON IT AGAIN. I BELIEVE GM KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. IF I WASN'T ON A FIXED INCOME I WOULD GET RID OF IT. *TR |
