| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | MY CAR IS A 2004, CHEVY AVEO, WITH 23,100 MILES. THE TEMPERATURE GAGE SHOWED THE ENGINE TO BE OVERHEATING ON MY WAY TO WORK ON OCTOBER 29, 2008. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, ONLY A RAMBLING ENGINE SOUND AND A BURNING TYPE OF SMELL. THE RESERVOIR TANK WAS HALF EMPTY AND THERE WAS VISIBLE SIGNS OF LEAKAGE AROUND THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING REMEDIED THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING FROM THE FACTORY IS ORIGINALLY ENCASED IN PLASTIC HOUSING, BUT THE CHEVY DEALER RETAILS THE PART WITH METAL HOUSING. THE METAL HOUSING INDICATES CHEVYїS AWARENESS, YET THERE IS NO EXISTENCE OF COVERAGE ON THE WARRANTY OR ANY ISSUING OF RECALL OF THE PART. *TR |
| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY 2004 CHEVY AVEO. SUDDENLY I NOTICED THAT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND THAT I HAD LOST PRESSURE IN MY BRAKES. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. IT WAS VERY BUSY TRAFFIC AND I NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. MY ENGINE WOULD NO LONGER START. AFTER HAVING MY CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC I DISCOVERED MY TIMING BELT/CHAIN HAD BROKEN AND DAMAGED MY ENGINE AND THAT IT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. CAR ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES. *TR |
