Replying to: lisar082774 (Mar 18, 2008 8:40 am) My V6 Chevy S10 p/u with over 140,000 miles has never had the chain replaced. I was told by a mechanic friend that it is not necessary in this engine. The radio issue and clock are related to the ground wire to the chassis. There was posts on this forum a few times before. |

The way I look at it the seals were bad both times all before 100,000. This last time they said they either where a bad lot or put in wrong, I still had to pay another deductable. My heater went out during a blizzard we got 18 inches all roads were closed this is at 11:00 p.m. I work 2nd shift. I thought I was going to freeze to death, I was frozen, I have what you call Raynauds disease, once my digits get frozen then gangrene can set in. The first chevy garage did 4 valves and 1 lousy seal. I am sick of the dealers not doing a proper job. I am sick of GM, they keep producing this hunk of--------------. They do not have any recalls except seat belts, which neither garage took care of. I am having problems with fuel injector clogging up all the time even with a hot fuel injector cleaner. Driving with any wind the front end is all over the road. I even got pulled over by a cop for drunk driving and had not had a drink it was the front end. Every time I bring it into the garage they say they can not find anything. My 1st valve job my mileage went right down hill, I was getting 15 miles to the gallon they said there was nothing wrong with it this went on for 6 months, the 7 month every 30 miles used 4 gallons with today's price of gas thats when I needed the 2nd valve job done. I really don't care if the attorney get's most of the money, I want GM to start taking care of there problems. I have Fidility warranty company I got about 6 differnt answers they won't dispute it either, neither will the second chevy garage when I showed them the invoice from the first job they said: Oh My they did only half the job. I thought the warrany company was there to please you. We only pay for what the garage orders. I am sick of getting the run around. After the 1st valve job they could not tell me why the valves went, and you know something else has had to be wrong.The manager at the Chevy garage he said that the GM inspector said he would fix it this time but never again, he said it was due to reckless driving. What a joke. No it is time to quit complaining and do something about it. That is what I hope to achieve. |

Hmmm. I don't know about a class action suit. Like what was said before, it usually doesn't work unless there's a serious health or safety issue, not a reliability issue. There are plenty of crappy cars out there that are worse than this car and no one has won any lawsuits based on reliability. I think a better path would be to go to the agencies that are involved with quality control of automobiles. Maybe you can file a complaint with NHTSA. If enough people do that and there's a serious safety issue, they may issue a recall. |

Replying to: sohjc (Mar 28, 2008 1:38 am) if you had the codes pulled at a garage there should be other codes included also? if someone used a autostore bought generic scanner to pull your dtc's you need to get the car scanned by a garage that has a better quality scanner you need it scanned immediately so you cant avert a transmission failure the P0300 code is a primary code for a misfire normally followed by another code P0301-P0312 the secondary code will tell you what cylinder the misfire has been seen by the pcm. afterthought: if you dont get the misfire corrected it could lead to restricted exhaust and catalytic converter failure another expensive repair |

I have a 2004 Aveo that had its engine replaced at 113,395 miles. The reason for the engine replacement was that a piece of the bracket on the timing belt pulley broke off and lodged between the pulley and the wall causing the belt to break and obviously all hell to break loose in the engine. My husband, who has worked in the automotive industry for 10 years (parts department) and is a self taught mechanic, decided that is was easier to replace the engine all together than to try and rebuild the old engine. He was able to find one for a decent price with only 24,000 miles on it and after about a week's worth of work, was able to swap out the engines (which any mechanic will tell you, is just about enough to make you lose your religion....). The car now runs, but won't shift into 4th gear. The check engine light is on (it starts off solid, then will begin to blink after about 5 mins of running) and the rpm's are high when started (about 3K) then goes back down to what I consider normal (about .5K). The codes we are getting are P0300, P0700, P1781, and U0401. I'm fairly certain there's a bulletin out about this and I may have to get the valves replaced, but I seem to be hearing from others that it doesn't necessarily fix the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated?

| I have a 2007 Chevy Aveo LS 1.6L automatic. My check engine light came on about 2 weeks ago. I took it to Autozone to have it test coded. It came up with 2 codes. PO700 and PO705. First...PO700 is "Transmission Control System Malfunction"......and PO705 is "Transmission Range Sensor malfunction (PRNDL Input). I did some research and with opinions from others I decided to purchase a Nuetral/Park Switch from the dealership and replace that first. I just installed it today and it did make a difference in the shifting. Instead of kicking when I shift into "Drive", I now feel nothing at all.....just smoothness. OK....so I didnt really notice the kicking problem untill I replaced the switch.....well thats 1 problem fixed and 1 less thing to worry about.....but why is my check engine light still on? I disconnected the battery completely for about 15 minutes thinking that might reset the cars computer and turn the engine light off, but nope, its still on. Might there be still another problem? What is the "Transmission Range Sensor"?...and where is the "Transmission Control System"? I couldnt find any info on this sensor online. Someone please shed some light on this situation for me. Any help is greatly appreciated. | |
