ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2005 AVEO 63,000 THIS AVEO QUIT PULLING OUT FROM THE TURNPIKE BOOTH ON PA.43. IT WAS TOWED TO FIKE CHEVROLET WHERE I WAS TOLD THE TIMING TENSIONER PULL SPLIT IN HALF THROWING THE TIMING BELT OFF. SINCE THIS IS A INTERFERENCE ENGINE ( MEANING WITHOUT THE TIMING BELT THE VALVES HIT THE PISTONS) IT CAUSES A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD AND POSSIBLE PISTON DAMAGE. THE DEALER SALVAGE YARDS AND MOST OTHER MECHANICS ADMIT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PLASTIC PULLEYS AND TIMING BELT. GM SAYS (IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF THEM ) AND WILL NOT COMPENSATE FOR DAMAGES. I ASK GM IF THEY RECORDED MY CONVERSATION AND THEY DO BUT WILL NOT ALLOW ME A COPY BECAUSE IT'S FOR (INTERNAL USE ONLY) THIS AVEO HAD IT'S TIMING BELT AND HEAD REPLACED AT 11,400 MILE AND AT THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS UNDER THE MILEAGE FOR RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT. FRONT WHEEL BEARING ALSO WHERE REPLACE 4 MONTHS AGO. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND LAST GM PRODUCT I WILL EVER BUY . *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I DO HAVE COMPLAINT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO FILE. IT IS REGARDS TO 2004-2007 CHEVROLET AVEOS. I HAD BOUGHT MY 2005 AVEO BRAND NEW FROM CHEVY. IT IS NOW MY SONS CAR. HE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT 45 MPH CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED. WHAT HAD HAPPENED IS THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING HAD BLOWN APART. IT IS A 2 PIECE PLASTIC PIECE OF JUNK. A THERMOSTAT HOUSING SHOULD NEVER BLOW APART. IN 2008 CHEVY STARTING PUTTING METAL ONES ON THE CAR. ONE WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED MY SON WAS TRAVELING WITH HIS 2.5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK ROADS OF PA HEADING DOWN TO VISIT HIS GRANDFATHER. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT THAT TIME THERE ARE LONG STRETCHES OF DESOLATE ROAD AND WITH THE MOUNTAINS MANY TIMES CELL PHONES DO NOT WORK. HE AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN IN A LOT OF TROUBLE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION BEFORE, IT IS ALL OVER THE WEB. I WILL INCLUDE SOME LINKS BELOW. THIS PROBLEM WARPED THE HEAD AND COULD HAVE DONE LOWER ENGINE DAMAGE AND CHEVY JUST WALKS AWAY, NOT OUR PROBLEM. ANYONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT CARS KNOWS A THERMOSTAT HOUSING SHOULD NOT BLOW APART. CHEVY HAS PUT AN INFERIOR QUALITY THAT IS PRONE TO FAILURE IN A CRITICAL AREA OF A CARS COOLING SYSTEM. THERE WAS NOTHING MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH THIS CAR PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2005 CHEVY AVEO QUIT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. CHEVROLET DEALER FIX THE PROBLEM; IT WAS THE TIMING BELT. ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON WHEN I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP, SPOKE TO ONE OF THE REPS AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING AND THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OUT SOON. WELL IT DID ALONG WITH THE PANEL LIGHTS AND FLASHING RADIO LIGHT ABOUT SIX MONTHS LATER. I REPLACED THE FUSES AND ASK THE MECHANICS AT EXPRESS LUBE TO CHECK MY FUSES ETC...OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND WAS OFFERING ME A CHANCE FOR THEIR MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT FOR X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS...(TOO MUCH CASH). SO I DROVE THE CAR AND FINALLY THE DASH LIGHTS CAME BACK ON FOR 3 TO 4 DAYS DURING JANUARY 2011. BY MID MARCH, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I DROVE MY CAR WITH NO PROBLEM. ON SUNDAY, APRIL 10, MY CAR DID A JERK WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE; TODAY, APRIL 12, I LEFT MY HEAD LIGHTS ON AND TRIED TO CHARGE MY DEAD CAR WITH BATTERY CABLES. AS I TURNED THE SWITCH, A BURNT WIRE SMELL HAD AROUSED IN MID AIR AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE. NEXT, SMOKE BEGIN TO BLOW OUT FROM MY CD PLAYER. MY SON, HIS FRIEND AND OTHER TEACHERS WERE AROUND MY CAR AT THIS TIME. I AM THANKFUL THAT THE CAR DID NOT CATCH A FIRE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
TAKING OF FROM A STOP SIGN, I HEARD A QUICK WHIRRING SOUND AND THE CAR DIED. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE TIMING BELT HAD BROKEN PREMATURELY. IT WAS NOT DUE TO BE CHANGED UNTIL 60,000 MILES. (ORIGINALLY 90,000 IN THE MECHANICS BOOK, AMENDED BY GM) THE TIMING BELT FAILURE CAUSED THE VALVES IN THE ENGINE TO BE BENT AND THE ENGINE RENDERED USELESS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE MECHANICAL BRAKE SWITCH STICKS IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE DRIVER DEPRESSES THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE SWITCH DOES NOT CLOSE AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. AT LEAST EIGHT OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE APPEAR TO BE LISTED ON THE NTSB WEB SITE, HOWEVER, MANY DRIVERS APPEAR TO BE UNAWARE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AND INSTEAD, THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT A SECOND SYMPTOM OF THE STUCK SWITCH: THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR OUT OF PARK. THE OWNER'S MANUAL DOES DESCRIBE A WAY FOR THE DRIVER TO OVERCOME THE SHIFT INTERLOCK PROBLEM BUT FAILS TO MENTION THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS MAY FAIL WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. IT APPEARS THAT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ENCOUNTER THIS PROBLEM CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND RELY ON THE SHIFT INTERLOCK OVERRIDE WITHOUT REALIZING THAT THEIR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS SAME SWITCH IS USED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, BUT IT IS COMMON IN OTHER VEHICLES FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH TO ALSO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. IF THAT IS THE CASE WITH THIS MODEL, THEN THE STUCK SWITCH MIGHT ALSO PREVENT THE CRUISE CONTROL FROM DISENGAGING WHEN A DRIVER TAPS THE BRAKES.

STRUCTURE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY AVEO THAT ONLY HAS 65K MILES ON IT AND GETS REGULAR OIL CHANGES. I WENT IN AND HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED AND WAS TOLD THE CAR LOOKED GREAT. DROVE A FEW OTHER PLACES, AND WAS ON A STEEP HILL, TURNING AROUND (AS I HAVE DONE MANY TIMES BEFORE), AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SMOKE WAS POURING OUT OF MY ENGINE. I PARKED IMMEDIATELY. MY THERMOSTAT HOUSING PIECE (PLASTIC) HAD CRACKED IN HALF AND WAS SPEWING ANTIFREEZE. IN THE TWO SECONDS THE CAR WAS ON, I LOST HALF MY ANTI-FREEZE AND MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS COVERED IN ANTI-FREEZE. FURTHER, THE PART IS HARD TO FIND AND WILL TAKE SEVERAL DAYS FOR A REPLACEMENT. THIS PART BROKE OUT OF THE BLUE, IN THE MIDDLE OF ROUTINE DRIVING. THERE'S NO WAY TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT'S FIXED - THE CAR WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED. I HEAR THAT THE PART IS NOW BEING MADE IN ALUMINUM AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR (EVERY 50-70K THIS PIECE JUST INEXPLICABLY CRACKS). I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE PART OF A STANDARD RECALL. HAD THIS PIECE BROKE AT ANY OTHER TIME (SUCH AS FIVE MINUTES PRIOR, WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY) THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN DIRE CONSEQUENCES. FURTHER, HAD I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE CAR ANY FURTHER, I COULD HAVE HAD AN ENGINE FIRE OR SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS HAS RESULTED IN THREE DAYS OF TIME AND ENERGY TO GET THIS REPAIRED (HOPEFULLY TO BE COMPLETED TOMORROW). THIS PLASTIC PIECE IS NOTHING BUT A SAFETY HAZARD AND I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED IN ONE PIECE. I'M YET TO FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE THE ANTI-FREEZE WILL DO TO MY CAR IN THE TIME IT TAKES TO GET THE CAR INTO THE SHOP TO BE FIXED UP. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I AM DISABLED, AND IN 2005, I PURCHASED A NEW CHEVY AVEO FROM GM DEALER AND IN 2006 GM SENT NOTICE TO ALL DEALERS THAT THESE ENGINES HAD A DEFECTIVE TIMING BELT AND TO NOTIFY AND OFFER NEW CAR BUYERS A FREE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PART AS FAILURE OF DEFECTIVE PART WOULD LIKELY DESTROY THE ENGINE. I RECEIVED NO NOTICE FROM GM OR MY DEALER. WHEN MY CAR REACHED JUST 49K MILES THE DEFECTIVE PART FAILED (RUBBER TIMING BELT) AND HAS CAUSED MASSIVE ENGINE DAMAGE REQUIRING ALL NEW HEAD, VALVES, AND OTHER PARTS. DEALER REFUSED TO EVEN DIAGNOSIS THE VEHICLE TO AVOID DOCUMENTATION OF CAUSE AND LIABILITY AND I HAD AT ATTEMPT MYSELF AND WAS SEVERELY INJURED. I LIVE ON KEY WEST AND ONLY DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE VEHICLE IS MILES SALES AND SERVICE. I HAVE SPENT $600.00 TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE TIMING BELT AND ASSOCIATED PARTS BUT ONE CYLINDER HAS NO COMPRESSION CONFIRMING VALUES WERE BENT AND A 1.5K HEAD REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD LIVING SOLELY ON SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY IN SECTION 8 PUBLIC HOUSINGS SO NOW BEING DISABLED I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION FOR MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, OR EVEN FOOD SHOPPING. I WAS VICTIM SURVIVOR OF 9/11 WTC ATTACK AND SINCE GM AND DEALER KNEW OF THIS DEFECT AND FAILED TO GIVE NOTICE I BELIEVE THEY ARE IN VIOLATION OF SEVERAL CONSUMER AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS ABOUT KNOWN DEFECTS NOTICE AND REPLACEMENT STANDARDS AND HAVE PUT BUYERS OF THEIR PRODUCT WHO ARE DISABLED.... IN PHYSICAL DANGER. *TR
