#1543 of 1578 Is This Engine Noise Normal? & The Timing Belt by flaaveo22 Mar 02, 2009 (5:54 pm)
Well if I keep my Aveo,...I need to know if my engine is suppose to sound like it does. I will take it in to have it looked at in the next 2 months, while I have a warranty. BUT, since it has been 'winter' here in south Fla., I know it isn't cold. But I could actually drive without the A/C on and the windows down. So I finally heard what the engine sounds like. And it sounds like a turbo!, When I push it under HEAVY acceleration. Is that what the little engine in our Aveos' sound like? It sounds like a turbo spooling up, if I push it hard to pass someone. It makes this whining sound. Then it is gone when I am just driving regular. I honestly have never heard it before, since I always have the A/C on and the windows up. But under HEAVY acceleration, it sounds like a turbo! Thats the only way I can describe it. Light acceleration, and it doesn't make any noise. But push it hard and it sounds like a turbo engine! Not much more power, but it does move!   So..do our engines sound like this under heavy acceleration? Or do I have a problem?    And also. At 3 years,BUT ONLY 11,000 miles, do I worry about replacing the timing belt, or do I follow the 60K mile replacement that everyone talks about? I figure that with such low mileage, I wait till I hit the 60K mark...right? Or does the 3 years make a difference? Guess thats enough questions. any input would be great.
#1544 of 1578 Change in manufacturer may fix Aveo problems by burtonhwolfe Mar 03, 2009 (8:02 am)
When I bought my Aveo hatchback, one of my reasons was to buy American. I was disgusted when I learned it was manufactured in Korea. If the information provided from one of the participants in this discussion is correct, the Aveo will now be made in Canada and Mexico. Maybe that will fix some of the problems that have been discussed, such as stalling (in a separate group discussion under "stalling"). The main purpose of this message, however, is to let everyone who read my comments on stalling know that the problem was me, not the car. I had the ignition switch key dangling from a key case as I drove, and the motion of its swinging caused the engine to cut off. It turns out that has been a more frequent problem than reported. It results from an overly sensitive ignition switch. Perhaps that problem will be corrected with new manufacturers. In the meantime, anyone experiencing this problem will have to take the key out of a key case or off a key chain and just insert the unsupported key in the ignition switch. Burton Wolfe

Replying to: poncho167 (Feb 06, 2009 4:02 pm) To buy a car because it is made in America like a Honda or a Toyota is not smart. Yes, many Honda and Toyota are made in the USA. Blind nationalism is what brought American cars into the craps. The Aveo is a great car at great price. Replies to this message: poncho167 (Mar 06, 2009 1:48 pm)

Replying to: andy_h (Mar 03, 2009 11:54 pm) People who don't support their country and think of themselves over anything else are the problem. When a country produces similar or better quality products and people still ignore because of false perceptions, fancy marketing by others, or like a friend of mine - status symbol, that is the problem.   It's good to see Toyota in financial trouble also. They are asking their government for 2-billion as of this week.

After 50s K miles, one of my tire's valve started to leak. I changed all 4 tires. The tire place had only 195s, so I bought them. Wider tires are nice, but my bad mpg went down more.   When did you guys changed your timimg belt? right on 60K miles?

Replying to: c118fe (Mar 25, 2009 4:08 am) Those were original tires. They looked used but not completely gone. I think I could have 10K or 15K miles more out of those tires until that air leaked.

Replying to: wave54 (Nov 11, 2005 6:58 am) They do that on purpose. The whole idea is to say that they don't know what's wrong until you either get frustrated and give up...or you run out of your warranty and then you have no rights as a consumer under the california lemon law...even though these cars are lemons. I've had my second engine break down on me and I'm still paying on the car. I refuse to pay the payments on it anymore because I've had to put more money into the car than I've made on payments.   I went to class action world and I am trying to start a class action suit because there was a recall on chevy aveos for the idler/timing belt problem but only for specific cars....problem is...the problem is on all of their engines for chevy aveos and they know it. We just need enough people to come forward.
