#56 of 65 Open trunk sensor or switch by rodsem Feb 07, 2009 (5:39 pm)
Some guy decides to stop on the back of my Aveo 2004 hatchback, I'm not actually complaining, now my Aveo is the only car with butt; the problem is that now that the trunk door is damage, the "open door" alert is always on. In the other four doors, I have found the sensor button, it's easy to find, but I can't find the sensor or don't know how is that the system detects that the trunk door is open so I can deactivate it.   Any ideas? This is giving me battery problems and a headache! Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 07, 2009 5:49 pm) rodsem (Feb 08, 2009 1:42 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Feb 08, 2009 1:44 pm)

Replying to: rodsem (Feb 07, 2009 5:39 pm) must be in the trunk lock then if there's no sensor along the rim of the trunk where the seal is. Replies to this message: rodsem (Feb 08, 2009 1:42 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Feb 08, 2009 1:44 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 07, 2009 5:49 pm) Thanks, you give me a clue! I found it and, by now, solve the problem. The sensor contact is in the tip of the lock. I close the lock manually and then close the door with some wire in the inside to avoid it to be open from the outside. Hope this can help to others.   Best Regards and thanks for the help!

#60 of 65 aveo engine noise by tvent Feb 27, 2009 (7:50 am)
I just took my 2005 Aveo 5 SVM to a Chevy Dealership Service Department in Virginia because of an unknown engine noise at 41,xxx miles. An independent mechanic diagnosed an alternator problem so I'm getting a second opinion. Anyway I took it in and started asking about my powertrain warranty and they said I have none because it did not start until 2007 model year. I had to show them the 2005 Aveo literature stating the 5yr 60,000 powertrain warranty. Even if it is not covered under the powertrain warranty, doesn't this seem suspicious that they told me that I have no powertrain warranty? I feel disappointed by this experience so far.

Replying to: tvent (Feb 27, 2009 7:50 am) Sounds like they aren't very knowledgible. Any warranty work that they would do would be reimbursed anyway. Replies to this message: tvent (Feb 27, 2009 9:18 am) tvent (Feb 27, 2009 1:25 pm) poncho167 (Mar 06, 2009 1:36 pm)

Replying to: poncho167 (Feb 27, 2009 8:27 am) You are right, I guess I should not expect so much from a Chevy Dealership Service Department. I am still waiting to hear what they tell me is making the noise. I will post an update soon. Replies to this message: tvent (Feb 27, 2009 1:25 pm) poncho167 (Mar 06, 2009 1:36 pm)

Replying to: tvent (Feb 27, 2009 9:18 am) Update. Dealership confirmed failed alternator and replaced with $100 deductible and "Goodwill" warranty due to low miles. I am still wondering if this repair should have been covered under warranty? The only issue yet to be addressed by any dealership is the front suspension noise this car has made since new. "Unable to duplicate" the noise is always listed on the receipt, yet the first uneven surface I drove over in the dealership's lot today, when picking up the car, duplicated the noise.

Replying to: tvent (Feb 27, 2009 9:18 am) I hope you meant this Chevy service department. They are not all the same just like the complaints Toyota is known for in their service department.

Replying to: shortychell (Jul 27, 2007 12:04 pm) Can't believe no one had the sence to check the alternator. These car are manufacuted with a defective alternator.
