Replying to: smilebehappy (Oct 25, 2006 9:04 pm) The EXACT same thing is happening to my 2005 hatchback Aveo. I took it in and they ran all of the diagnostics and still don't know what's wrong. So, they called me today and said they are going to replace the engine head (whatever that means).   Hmmm! The engine head has nothing to do with the transmission "Hold" feature.   Sounds more like a bad electrical connection between the console and the tranny itself.   Good luck with the repairs -- sounds like these dealerships need MUCH better diagnostics tools.

From the way it looks they like to sell these they just don't have a clue when something goes wrong. If I am sent walking to work today you can bet Chevy will get a call too. This is turning into a real bad experience.

Well end of day 2 car will be in the shop till the end of next week they are replacing the valves on the car they said it was a known issue with chevy I dont know if that was suppose to make me feel better or not. It didn't this is rather upsetting. 10,000 miles and the valves are shot i hope at 15,000 i dont have to replace the engine. Does anyone think it would pay to call Chevy corp and ask what they will do to make this right. I am a bit sided on this as this is our families only car we traded in a car that had 230,000 miles on it and was running great this is a big let down.

Made the call to Chevy Corp yesterday. They are working on a solution to this car that had to have the alternator replaced at 1000 miles still has electroic problems and now the valves and head. Haven't heard back yet but will let everyone know. They seem just as upset about this mess as my wife and I am. Which goes a bit further than the dealers attitude of oh well looks like your car will be in the shop alot. That didn't cut it at all.

Update I am not sure if this is an update as no information from dealer or chevy. Car in the shop over a week no calls from either the dealer or Chevy Corp. Beginning to wonder. Any one have any ideas what to do next. Thanks Replies to this message: wave54 (Nov 04, 2006 1:48 am)

Replying to: cpopvideos (Nov 03, 2006 6:05 pm) How did a problem with the "Hold" feature turn into replacement of the valves? Was it just something that they noticed while the car was being looked at?   I would call GM again and follow up with a letter -- send with delivery confirmation. Document every call and letter along with service records and phone calls -- date of call, who you spoke to.   If you continue to have problems, all this will come in handy if it gets to the point of applying the lemon law or any other legal recourse.   This being a warranty repair, I hope the dealer gave you a loaner car, even if it's a rental that they pay for.

too bad your having so much trouble with your dealer he should be able to repair a hold light problem without much trouble i would suspect the switch. driving the car with the hold light on could damage the transmission if you don't shift manually. if the valves are bent and need replacing this is caused by timing belt failure, some one may be abusing your car Replies to this message: wave54 (Nov 04, 2006 5:26 pm) cpopvideos (Nov 06, 2006 1:12 pm) wave54 (Nov 06, 2006 2:22 pm) and 3 more...

Replying to: geissaj (Nov 04, 2006 7:33 am) if the valves are bent and need replacing this is caused by timing belt failure, some one may be abusing your car   On another forum for Aveos, some members have had valves replaced because they were seating improperly and were noisy. If I recall, there was a service bulletin for early 2004 models, but also some problems for 06 cars.   A timing belt failure will affect the valves so severely, the car wouldn't run at all without rebuilding the head.

Replying to: wave54 (Nov 04, 2006 5:26 pm) Ok this is the worse experience ever. Dealer hasn't returned calls. I finally got to talk to someone again at chevy corp. They went to a manager. They will not replace the car but found out they are rebuilding the engine. All they will do is let me trade it in for new one the transmission is still not getting fixed the electrical isnt repaired. I think at this turn I might need a lawyer i am not sure. They want to appease me with an extended warrenty which I think is just a push off to get me off the phone. I asked if this is the treatment all chinese people get when they have an issue with chevy products. I am so upset right now. The dealer finally called after chevy finally called them to let them know I was upset with not hearing from them in over a week. I am so sick of GM and to think i have been a loyal GM driver for over 20 years. I understand why people no longer want to do business with american auto makers any longer. They really don't care about the customers that drive these cars just how many they sell. Any suggestions as chevy doesn't seem to care if I push the lemon law on them. They seem to think they wont get caught with it. Replies to this message: wave54 (Nov 06, 2006 2:22 pm) cpopvideos (Nov 06, 2006 2:28 pm)

Replying to: cpopvideos (Nov 06, 2006 1:12 pm) Did the dealer give you a loaner car? If so, GO to the dealer instead of calling and ask to see what work they are performing and how much longer it will take.   As long as you have transportation and the dealer will correct all the problems, take them up on the extended warranty.   If you can consult with a lawyer inexpensively, it probably wouldn't hurt, but it isn't worth spending thousands at this point.   Also, read up on your state's lemon law -- they're all different and usually it involves multiple attempts to correct the same issue, not numerous repairs of different problems.
