Sedans Chevrolet Aveo Chevrolet Aveo Transmission Problems
87 messages, Last post on Jun 29, 2009 at 7:15 AM
You are in the Chevrolet Aveo Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
I am having the same codes as you: p1781, p0700, and p0300. You said the resolve was to get to cylinder head valves replaced and a plug. Was it a spart plug? You also said that your car still runs rough? Is the check engine light still comming on? Any help would be appreciated...

Replying to: johns9 (Mar 02, 2008 3:58 pm) Yes the check engine light comes and goes. Riding real rough, eating gas like it was water. Misfires. The first two times I had transmission problems this is what they did: Change valve 2 and 4. Still had problems they said it was the number 2 plug and fuel injector was plugged. I had a diagnostic run on it. They came up TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) 1.6L L91 Intermittent Misfire During Deceleration or Steady State Highway Driving After Cold Start with DTCs P0300, P0700, P1781 Replace Valves and Valve Stem Seals) Cause: the engine misfire may be experienced due to a valve sealing concern. You can go to www. NHTSA.gov. this site will give you all the recalls and all of the TSB. Reference Number: 05-06-01-030c. This is covered under my warranty. It is $1000 to $1200 the job will take about 8 hrs. If you are still under warranty I would call them and check it out. Good Luck, drop us a note when you get it checked out. |

| Well my 2004 aveo is in the garage today for the 3rd time with transmissions problems, the warrenty company will pay for the TSB. They also told me that they are having problems with the fuel injectors and they will replace for free. I can not find a recall on this. My car also started to backfire. Should know more by the end of the week. Codes that I got were P0300, P0700 and P1781 | |

 I have a 2004 chev aveo...that i had to replace the motor at 105,000. Since replacing the motor i have also had to do the O2 sensor...and all the plugs and wires. Now when i put it on the machine it reads a code of P0300, which the dealer tells me it is a random misfire code. However the car is NOT misfiring. We have had the engine light reset and within 5 minutes it is back flashing. Now the dealer informs me they dont know what is wrong with the vehicle. Anyone have any suggestions...i dont know what to do with this car...it is only 4 years old and in the past 2 weeks i have sunk almost 2500 dollars into it. ANYONE>>>PLEASE HELP!!!

Replying to: lisar082774 (Mar 17, 2008 1:53 pm) Was the engine replaced by the dealer or a 3rd party shop? If the dealer did the work, was it his suggestion or your desire to have the work done? I ask these questions because the average trade-in price on a 2004 Aveo is around 4200-4500 with regular mileage (not like the high mileage you reported), maybe less depending on the model traded for. $2500 is a lot to put into a car that doesn't have much value to begin with, and no warranty to speak of after engine repair, other than maybe on the engine itself. So, if it was your suggestion, then you felt it was worth it, but if you were led by the dealer to invest that kind of cash on the car, I would think he has an obligation to make it right. If it was dealer replaced, it should have come with some type of warranty, which the dealer is obligated to honor. So, if it were me under these circumstances, I would lean on the dealer to send the car to another GM shop for advanced diagnosis...after all, its their obligation to you for your $2500 "contribution". However, if it was a non-dealer install, you could be in for an expensive time in search of the eroneous code explanation.

Replying to: lisar082774 (Mar 17, 2008 1:53 pm) get it out today or Wednesday. I have 6000 miles to go on my warrenty. I have an extended warranty and have gone to 2 different Chevy garages this is the 2nd time I am having a valve job within 15, 000 miles. The one I am at now metion that the fuel injectors are not working right, but I will let you know what I find out. When they replaced your engine did they tell what caused it to go bad. Like a cylinder head running to lean, or using the wrong kind of gas, or timing belt jumped, or bad fuel injector, bad plugs, or plug wires? I am actually thinking of sueing, Would they have a fit if we started a class A action suit? I will repost when I get my car back. This garage is charing me for plug wires, and I had the plugs in the car they are using them. My car has the 100,000 thousand mile warranty. To me this is fraud.

Replying to: yupper1 (Mar 18, 2008 8:05 am) yahoo.com. I have had to have coils replaced, O2 sensor, i had wires melt together, the gear shifter replaced, water pump replaced, all sorts of things have gone wrong with my 04 Aveo. Unfortunately i do not have the extended warrenty. So this is all coming out the pocket. Not to mention the clock and stero went out on me. Please everyone lets come together and let the media know whats going on or something. Something needs to be done about these cars because we all have been ripped off.

Replying to: lisar082774 (Mar 18, 2008 8:40 am) Unfortunately, I see 1 of 2 things in your future...an expensive trip to a authorized dealer or a replacement vehicle. I wish I could offer a more optomistic view...give us a post with the results...Good Luck!
