UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY COMPLAINT INVOLVES A REPLACEMENT TIMING BELT MANUFACTURED BY GENERAL MOTORS DETROIT AND PURCHASED ON MY BEHALF FROM THE PARTS DEPARTMENT OF STEVE RAYMAN CHEVROLET ON MARCH 29, 2010 BY KEN BLACK OF FAIRGROUND AUTO AND BODY SHOP FOR INSTALLATION ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIMING BELT WAS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND WAS INTENDED TO PROTECT MY AUTO FROM DAMAGE THAT MIGHT OCCUR WHEN A TIMING BELT FAILS. AT THAT TIME MY CAR MILEAGE WAS 69631. ON OCTOBER 1, 2010, THIS REPLACEMENT TIMING BELT FAILED AFTER ONLY 4327 MILES AND 6 MONTHS OF SERVICE. A SECTION OF THE TEETH WHICH ENGAGED THE TIMING BELT SEPARATED FROM THE BODY OF THE BELT. THE DEFECTIVE BELT FLEW INTO MY ENGINE CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO FAIRGROUND AUTO WHERE THIS DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED AT A COST TO ME OF $2098.30. MR. KEN BLACK ADVISED ME THAT SINCE THE BELT WAS DEFECTIVE HE BELIEVED THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR. HE TOOK THE BELT BACK TO STEVE RAYMAN CHEVROLET WHERE HE SHOWED IT TO THE PARTS MANAGER MIKE STEWART WHO CONCURRED THAT THE BELT DEFINITELY HAD A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MADE ATTEMPTS TO GET GM IN DETROIT TO STAND BEHIND THE PART AND TAKE CARE OF MY DAMAGES. GM REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. THESE DETAILS CAN BE VERIFIED WITH KEN BLACK OF FAIRGROUND AUTO AT 770 429 8473 AS WELL AS MIKE STEWART, PARTS MANAGER AT STEVE RAYMAN CHEVROLET, AT 770 953 0100 EXT 3047.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS PASSING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN A 2005 CHEVY AVEO, I WAS HIT HEAD ON BY A FORD RANGER PICKUP TRUCK, BOTH VEHICLES WERE TOTALED. THE OTHER DRIVERS AIRBAG HAD GONE OFF BUT MINE DID NOT. AS A RESULT HE WAS FINE, BUT I WAS KNOCKED TEMPORARILY UNCONSCIOUS. I SPENT THE REST OF THAT DAY IN A HOSPITAL GETTING X-RAYS DONE AND WAS LAID UP IN BED FOR THE NEXT WEEK ON PAIN KILLERS AND MUSCLE RELAXERS. THE PAIN (PRIMARILY IN MY NECK, UPPER BACK, AND MY HEAD WHICH HIT THE STEERING WHEEL) HAS STILL YET TO GO AWAY NOW ALMOST 3 WEEKS LATER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2009 CHEVROLET HAS HAD SERIOUS STALLING OR NON RESPONSIVE ACCELERATION FOR 6 MONTHS NOW. ON A REGULAR BASIS THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER TO THE ENGINE; WHEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CAR ACTS LIKE THERE IS NO SIGNALS FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY. THERE ARE DAYS WHEN IT DOES NOTHING AT ALL. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT HAPPENS THEN THE ENGINE WILL JUST SEEM TO RETURN TO NORMAL, THEN OUT OF THE BLUE THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER AGAIN. THERE ARE NEVER ANY WARNINGS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. NONE HAVE EVER COME ON. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO 3 DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS; AND TO ONE INDEPENDENT GARAGE; WHO DID HAVE THE PROBLEM HAPPEN ONCE WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH THE OWNER, BUT THE OTC GENISIS DEVICE COULD NOT IDENTIFY WHAT WAS HAPPENING, IT JUST RECORDED THE HISTORY OF THE EVENT. NONE OF THE CHEVROLET DEALERS COULD GET IT TO DUPLICATE OR FIND ANY CODES IN THE 10 DAYS THEY HAD THE CAR. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I HAVE BEEN TAKING VIDEOS WITH MY HTC DROID WHEN THE CAR IS HAVING ITS PROBLEM (FOR ALL THE GOOD THAT WILL DO). IT IS LIKE KEEPING A JOURNAL. I SHOW THE RPM SPIKES AND DROPS; THE SUDDEN DECELERATION AND THE ?NO RESPONSE WHEN THE GAS PEDDLE IS PUSHED. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT ALL SPEEDS, INCLUDING WHEN ON THE FREEWAY. WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER $600 ON VARIOUS (SO CALLED FIXES); INCLUDING A COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING (INCLUDING THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANING) NONE HAVE EVER HELPED. I WAS TOLD BY A CHEVROLET DEALER IT WAS A BAD O2 SENSOR (BUT NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD EVER CAME ON). O2 SENSORS ALWAYS CAUSE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. I THINK IT MAY BE THE ENTIRE ECU COMPUTER; BUT NO DEALER WANTS TO ADMIT THAT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TODAY 01/04/2011; THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY WILL DO; BECAUSE WE HAVE TOO MUCH NEGITIVE EQUITY. THEY WILL NOT DO A BUY BACK. THEY HAVE WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THE ISSUE. TO BAD THERE IS NO USED CAR LEMON LAW. 4 REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND THE PROBLEM IS EVEN WORSE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR IS HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. STARTED WITH THE HEADLIGHT GOING OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, THEN THE SHIFTER STARTED GETTING STUCK IN PARK. LATER THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS WENT OUT, ALONG WITH ALL THE GAUGES. NOW MY TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NO LONGER WORKING AND WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR, THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND CANT BE REMOVED. ALL THIS HAPPENED OVER A 3 DAY PERIOD. I TOOK IT TO CHEVY AND AFTER 2 HOURS, THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME EIGHT ADDITIONAL HOURS OF DIAGNOSTIC FEE AT A RATE OF $109/HR TO TRY AND FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED A PROBLEM WITH THE FUSE BOX. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON AMONGST HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS WITH AVEOS FROM 2005 UP TO 2009. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOOK THE STANCE THAT THEIR TECHNICIANS WILL HAVE TO BE THE ONES TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE; EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY PAID THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR 2 HOURS OF DIAGNOSTICS. AT THIS POINT, I AM LOST BECAUSE GM WILL NOT INTERVENE AND I TRULY TRUST THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2009 AVEO, STARTED APRIL 2010, AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE TACH NEEDLE WAS JUMPING BETWEEN 500 AND 1500. IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO DIE THAN TACH JUMPED UP. I HEARD THE ENGINE SURGE. LIGHT CHANGED AND CAR BARELY MOVED. I PRESSED GAS PEDAL TO FLOOR BUT CAR WOULD LUNGE FORWARD THAN ACT TO STALL. I PUT INJECTOR CLEANER IN NEXT FUEL TANK. THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. 3-WEEKS LATER AS I WAS CROSSING A FOUR LANE ROAD, CAR ACT AS I DESCRIBED ABOVE, TACH NEEDLE BOUNCE BETWEEN 500 AND 1500, CAR SPUTTERED AND SURGED. TOOK CAR TO GM DEALER, THEIR COMPUTER FOUND NO PROBLEMS OR CODES. NO ENGINE LIGHT, NO CODE, CLEANER MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, GOT GAS AT DIFFERENT STATION. JULY 2010 TOOK CAR TO DEALER AGAIN. STILL NO CODES, FOUND NO PROBLEMS. I THOUGHT PROBLEM MIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH HIGH HUMIDITY, SINCE THAT WAS THE ONLY COMMONALITY I COULD FIND WITH EACH INCIDENT. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAVE GONE THROUGH A COMPLETE TANK OF GAS WITH NO PROBLEM. IT OCCURS AT DIFFERENT TIME S OF DAY, DIFFERENT OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES, AND WEATHER GETTING COLD IT DOES IT. TOOK CAR TO DEALER OCTOBER. THEY SAID POSSIBLE THE 10% ETHANOL GAS MAYBE PROBLEM, SO USE PREMIUM GAS. AFTER THREE PREMIUM GAS FILLS. TEMPERATURE BELOW FREEZING CAR SPUTTERED AND SURGED THAN STALLED. ROLLED TO STOP, TURNED KEY OFF, THAN STARTED CAR UP AND DROVE HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. THREE DAYS LATER, ANOTHER BELOW FREEZING TEMP, CAR BEGAN SLOWING DOWN AT 40MPH THAN SURGED. WHEN THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN THE TACH WAS DROPPING OFF THAN JUMPED BACK UP WITH THE SURGE. AS OF TODAY THE CAR HAS 11158 MILES FOR LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I PURCHASED THIS CAR SEPTEMBER 2009 AND HAVE DRIVE AROUND 5,000MILES ONLY. THE ENGINE IS STALLED EVERYDAY. HOWEVER, THE DEALER SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE. 2 MONTHS AGO, THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED, THE DEALER CHANGED A BATTERY. SINCE DECEMBER 11, 2010, AGAIN THE ENGINE HAS BEEN STOPPED MANY TIMES WHILE I WAIT FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THIS MORNING (12/27), I WAS ALMOST IN THE ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS STOPPED ON THE HILL AND WENT BACKWARD. FORTUNATELY I'M FINE NOW, BUT I WAS SCARED. DEBEMBER 18, I VISITED THE DEALER, THEY SAID MY CAR HAS NO PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET AVEO WITH 50,000 MILES. I HAVE DONE THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, A WEEK AGO THE TIMING BELT BROKE AND RUINED MY ENGINE. IN MY MAINTENANCE BOOK IT SAYS NOT TO CHANGE THE BELT UNTIL 60,000 MILES AND GM IS TELLING ME IT IS MY PROBLEM SINCE I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND OTHERS WHO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TIMING BELTS GOING BEFORE THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP. THEY WANT $2,200 TO FIX VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I LOST POWER IN MY CAR WHILE GLIDING THROUGH A RED LIGHT. THANK GOD NO ONE HIT ME. UPDATED IVOQ 02/02/11 *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE MY ENGINE TEMP INDICATOR ON HOT. I WASN'T FAR FROM MY HOME LUCKILY AT THE TIME, SO I DROVE IT HOME. I OPENED MY HOOD A COUPLE MINUTES LATER TO FIND WATER SIZZLING ON MY THERMOSTAT HOUSING. (WHICH IS CONSTRUCTED OF TWO PIECES OF PLASTIC, GLUED TOGETHER) I TRIED TO LOOK UP INFO ON IT AND CAME ACROSS ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2004-2005 CHEVY AVEO LS. THE EARLIEST COMPLAINT I SAW WAS AS EARLY AS JANUARY OF 2009. AFTER LOOKING AT YOUR WEBSITE, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THIS ITEM AT ALL. ALSO, THE ONLY PLACE TO GET A NEW ONE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR $91.00 AND THAT IS WITHOUT LABOR COST. IN ADDITION, IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE. STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING. THE CAR LURCHED AND DECELERATED QUICKLY. POWER WAS SUDDENLY RESTORED TO ENGINE CAUSING THE CAR TO SPEED UP QUICKLY, THEN ENGINE LOST POWER AGAIN. CAR CAME TO A STOP, ENGINE SPUTTERED AND THEN DIED. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. RESTARTED ENGINE, CAR DROVE AS NORMAL. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY FOR ALMOST A YEAR. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE SUDDEN DECELERATION HAS OCCURRED AT ALL SPEEDS, INCLUDING ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION. THE CAR WENT FROM 70MPH TO 40MPH IN ONE MINUTE, SPUTTERED FOR A WHILE, AND THEN CAME BACK TO DRIVE NORMALLY AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WITHIN THE FIRST TEN MINUTES OF DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME DAY AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR 8 HOURS. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED FOR PERIODS AS LONG AS TWO WEEKS BUT THEN COMES BACK. THE MOST EXTREME OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN ON SIDE STREETS WHERE TRAFFIC WAS NOT A PROBLEM, BUT IF ANOTHER CAR HAD BEEN FOLLOWING CLOSELY A REAR-END COLLISION WOULD HAVE BEEN CERTAIN. MY SPOUSE HAS DRIVEN THE CAR AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND WENT THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH FOR COFFEE. NOTICED THAT WHILE IDLE, MY CAR STARTED TO OVER HEAT. CONTINUED ON TO WORK APPROX 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I GOT THERE I OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND THAT A HOSE WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THEN I NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC HOUSING ITSELF WAS CRACKED IN HALF AND HANGING OFF THE CAR. IT COST ME ABOUT $80 FOR A REPLACEMENT METAL PART WHICH I HAD INSTALLED BY A FRIEND. THIS HAPPENED DURING THE SUMMER 2010; CAR HAD APPROX 51,000 MILES. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 2010, AND CAR HAS APPROX 56,00 MILES. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A CAR PART STORE TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE CODE. APPARENTLY NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE OXYGEN SENSOR, WHICH COSTS ABOUT $150.00 + LABOR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2007 AND STILL HAVE ABOUT 2 YEARS LEFT TO PAY ON IT. THE WARRANTY IS NO LONGER GOOD. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PARKED THE CAR IN A PARKING SPOT AT A STORE, WENT INSIDE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, CAME BACK OUT TO HAVE THE SHIFTER NOT SHIFT FROM PARK AFTER BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. I'VE ALREADY TRIED REPLACING THE BRAKE SWITCH NEAR THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REPLACED THE BRAKE TRANSAXLE SOLENOID. NEITHER OPTION HAS WORKED. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. $80 LATER, THEY WANT OVER 400 TO FIX THE SHIFTER BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE SHIFT ASSEMBLY. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE, THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE AUTOMATICALLY TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALERSHIP AT NO COST TO US. IT STILL IS NOT FIXED BECAUSE WE CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND ANOTHER 400 DOLLARS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT FAILED RIGHT AFTER THE 36,000 MARK. *TR

THE KEY CYLINDER ON MY DAUGHTER'S 2005 AVEO ON THE PASSENGER SIDE JUST FELL IN THE DOOR WITHOUT EVEN PUSHING IN THE KEY. NOW SHE CANNOT EVEN UNLOCK OR LOCK HER CAR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WE PAID SO MUCH FOR EXPIRED IN MAY OF 2010. I TOLD THEM THAT IT IS REALLY A DEFECT IN THE CAR BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $115 PER HOUR TO FIX IT. I SEE THAT THIS HAPPENS TO ALOT OF THE AVEO CARS. I THINK GM SHOULD PAY FOR THE FIX. *TR
