| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | WAS ENROUTE TO WORK IN 2005 CHEVROLET AVEO WHEN THE TIMING GEAR PULLEY BROKE ON THE MOTOR. THE ENGINE WAS DESTROYED AS I FOUND OUT LATER. 5 OR 6 WEEKS EARLIER I HAD JUST HAD THE TIMING BELT REPLACED. I HAD IT REPLACED BEFORE FACTORY RECCOMENDATIONS. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THEN I NEEDED TO HAVE IT CHANGED. THE BELT DID NOT BREAK TO CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE. A CHEAP PLASTIC PULLEY BROKE INSTEAD. WHEN THE PULLEY BROKE THE TIMING BELT WENT LIMP AND THE ENGINE DECIDED TO DEPOSIT SOME VALVES THROUGH 1 PISTON. THIS TO ME IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO GET THE CAR OFF THE INTERSTATE. CHEVROLET KNOWS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND THEY DONT SEEM TO CARE. I DONT THINK THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD. *TR |
| 2011 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | I HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALERS REPAIR SHOP LIKE 10+ TIMES FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TODAY I WAS OUT ON A QUICK TRIP TO THE STORE AND WHEN I CHANGED GEARS FROM REVERSE (TO GET OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY) THEN TO DRIVE THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME HARD TO MOVE? AND THEN THE "HOLD" LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER THAT MY CAR WENT ON AND OFF ACCELERATION DRAGGING, THEN ON MY WAY OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF THE STORE, I PUSHED TO ACCELERATE AND THEN MY CAR BARELY MOVED LIKE SLOWER THAN THE CARS REGULAR CRUISE (LIKE WHEN YOU LET THE CAR MOVE ON ITS OWN IN MOTION OFF THE ACCELERATOR) IT WENT SLOWER THAN THAT. I AM ABOUT UP TO MY SHOULDERS IN FRUSTRATION WITH IT, NOW THE HOLD LIGHT WONT COME OFF AND I ALMOST GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT NOW IT FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *KB |
