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.

Replying to: wave54 (Feb 03, 2006 2:21 am) I full on agree with you. I will not reccomend a purchase of a chevy aveo, the timing belt / idler issue is very dangerous because when the idler gets stuck at full-throttle, the timing belt snaps and your car cannot go any more. I've r..on the road that can be life threatening. I have replaced one engine so far and the second motor did the same thing to me. I had to replace the engine myself at 98,000 miles because it was no longer under warranty. I've put so much money into this car it isn't even funny and I'm done with it completely. I still owe money on the loan but it is that bad that I am going to leave it on the side of the road and wait for the loan company to reposess it. That's how extreme it is. GM will do nothing to make up for their faulty engines if you are past warranty and they like to pretend that there is nothing going on with their cars. They are dangerous.   I contacted class action world and am interested in having others make a complaint and join in on a class action suit with GM because they are screwing people.

#1556 of 1578 Brake Issue by cjones11 May 09, 2009 (9:22 am)
Have an 05 Aveo w/76,000m to date. Base model without ABS. Lately, when started and first put into gear the brakes are not responsive for a half minute or so. The pedal gets very hard to depress and will not come to a complete stop. This is not every start but at least 3-4 out of ten. Does return to operate normal (when it wakes up) System has recently been flushed (problem existed before) and the brake h/w, drums and pads are good. Anyone else get this? Suggested repairs?
#1557 of 1578 Fuel System Problem,Car Is Stalling...... by flaaveo May 10, 2009 (5:36 pm)
Hey all. My 2006 Aveo JUST ran out of its 3 year warranty...1 week ago! and of course, now it has its first mechanical problem! I only have 11,650 miles on it to! Maybe someone can tell me whats going on. It was running fine until this morning. I started it and it started to act tlike it was stalling, so I push on the gas pedal and it died! Usually if i do that it revs up to like 6,000, I restarted it and it revved up and down between 1,000rpm's and 200 rpms' a few times, then it stayed at the 'normal' 800 rpms that it usually goes to when it first starts and when it is warmed up, it idles at 800 rpms, it still runs smooth as silk and fast if i push the gas pedal down as I drive. But today, everytime I had to stop at a light, it would rev up and down a bit and almost stall...unless i giggled the gas pedal a few times, then it would stay running. It runs fine and takes off like a rocket, as usual, when I push on the pedal to pass or go up a hill, it still goes and has fine pickup. BUT it almost stalls when I start from a stopped position. As long as I keep it in neutral at the stop lights, and giggle the gas pedal it stays running. If i take my foot off the pedal it stays running, but when I get started to go, it almost stalls,it drops down to about 200 rpms, and then it takes off!   I get the feeling it is one of 3 things, either a fuel pump problem, clogged injectors, or a tank of bad gas. I put about 7 gallons in it yesterday,from a station I go to nearly all the time. BUT it was running fine until I filled up yesterday. So that makes me think it is bad gas, with dirt or water in it? BUT if the gas is bad, and it clogged up the injectors, wouldnt it run bad all the time? It runs fine once I get going, it is as fast/smooth as usual.   Below 15mph, it chugs and almost stalls, unless I giggle the gas pedal. Anyone have any ideas? Does the 50,000 mile powetrain warranty cover the fuel system? I intend to call GM tomorrow and ask them, but does anyone know what this could be IF it isnt covered? The warranty ended just 1 week ago,and it only has 11,000 miles on it! It shouldnt have this problem, and i shouldnt have to fix a problem like this. But if i do..I have put in a bottle of concentrated fuel system cleaner, hoping if it is clogged injectors this stuff might work. I doubt it will, but I have used it before and its only $8.00.   But does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? It runs fine once i get going. It doesnt backfire or anything like that. Did i get a bad load of gas? Is it the fuel filter, that I hear is IN the gas tank...THAT is that would be VERY expensive to be replaced and i wont put in that kind of money for a repair. I'd trade it in on something else. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? Replies to this message: flaaveo (May 12, 2009 2:49 pm)

Replying to: flaaveo (May 10, 2009 5:36 pm) Well my car wouldnt start the next day. It ended up costing me $190 total. the repair was free! The money went to 'roadside assistance towing', from my home to the dealer, 2 miles away,loosing a days work,taking a cab to the dealership to pick uo the car...15 mins after it was towed to the dealership, it was 'fixed'! The problem was a stupid vacuum hose. and I mean the tiniest, thinnest,shortest vacuum hose on the car! That little thin tiny hose, if you can call it hose, cause it to stall and not run at all. Once I got it started ,I revved it to 6k, and it went a whopping 4mph! This tiny little hose is on the top of the engine right next to the firewall on the top of the engine and it just fell off. All they did was reconnect it and it now runs perfect! Then they tell me that they are finding out the ALL Aveos have this problem happening to them after the first year, a lot! The rubber ends just fall off the plastic part they are connected to, the vacuum hose is a hard plastic and is half as thick as spagettii, about 6in long, and it just fell off. so, yesterday it must have been FALLING off but still attached,since it ran...but then it fell off completely and it would run for anything. My warranty JUST ended like 2 weeks ago, and this happened. Luckily it was a 'free' fix. But IF it had been a costly repair,GM said they would have paid for it or paid up to 99% of it, since I have such low miles, and that my warranty had just run out, and they have a 'payment assistance program', I didnt know about that...did any of you?? That helps people pay for costly repairs. Anyway, a stupid tiny vacuum hose, that fell off cause all this havoc! I can only imgine what happens when something BIG goes wrong! Wow!
