| 2005 | EQUIPMENT | I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY AVEO AND RECENTLY WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN IT STARTED TO SMOKE AND MAKE FUNNY NOISES, AFTER BEING FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CLUTCH WAS RED HOT, CRACKED THE PLATE AND THE FLY WELL AND WAS A HAZARD TO DRIVE, I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR THREE YRS AND NEVER DID ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS, I AM WONDERING IF THIS WAS A MANUFACTURE OR MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE CAR, I ENDED UP PAYING 854$ TO FIX THE CAR BUT FOR THE TIME THAT I WAS WITHOUT IT, I HAD TO TAKE A BUS TO WORK FOR THREE WEEKS AND RELY ON FRIENDS TO HELP ME OUT. IS THIS CAR SAFE? *TR |
| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | 2004 CHEVY AVEO TIMING BELT BROKE CAUSING VALVES TO BREAK AND MANY OTHER RELATED PARTS AT 60000 MILES. MY MECHANIC SAID THIS IS COMMON IN THESE CARS AND HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. HAD I BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIMING BELTS GOING AT 40-60000 MILES IT MIGHT ONLY HAVE COST ME $50 TO REPAIR INSTEAD OF $950.00. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING IN MY RESEARCH SINCE THIS OCCURRED BY SPEAKING WITH MECHANICS ECT. ALL ARE IN AGREEMENT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT SOMETHING BEING DONE ON THESE BELTS. WE WERE STRANDED, COST OF TOWING AND LENGTHY AND COSTLY REPAIR FOR WHAT I AM FINDING OUT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND THE 2004 YEAR. *TR |
