 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!

Replying to: tmyles2 (Mar 19, 2008 1:41 pm) By the way, I was the proud owner of a 2005 Aveo Hatchback that certainly enjoyed its set of unique "circumstances", so I am no fan of this car. I say "was", because i unloaded it this past January while it still had a bit of value left on it. I also had clock issues (mine had a poor grounding connection, and once repaired, worked flawlessly for 2.5 years). The C/D player worked great for the first 6 months before acquiring the ability to skip tracks at any random time. It was on its 3rd sunroof when it sold (34,000 miles), and also had its shares of squeaks and rattles, along with the associated interior body parts coming loose and falling off. Having said all that, what is your goal here? I understand being upset with the reliability of the car, but very few class-action lawsuits involving automobiles are files over clock and stereo/audio issues. Most are from engine/transmission issues and safety issues. Don't get me wrong...I'm not trying to rain on your parade, its just that I don't see where you can go with this, unless you have a widespread safety or engineering issue. While there have been many posts about engine issues, these are not even a drop in the bucket when compared to the total Aveos sold. And, many of the engine related issues are related to broken timing belts, which GM says to replace every 60,000 miles (and many of these engines have exceeded this mileage without having the service done). In any case, I wish you luck and hope you arrive at some form of satisfaction...
