Replying to: invisiblemass (Oct 17, 2008 12:02 am) Well, it's not good news, but at least you've given me some direction. Before they did the plugs and wires all they could tell me was the battery was fine, they didn't know what was wrong. I had to repeatedly tell them it was like it wasn't getting fuel.   The gear shift was also stuck, they had to replace a stop lamp switch & filter for it.   The only warranty left is the Power Train Warranty, does anyone have any idea how I find out what that covers?   I encourage everyone who has had this problem to file a complaint so we can try & get a recall. report a vehicle safety issue to NHTSA online at vehicle safety Web site: www.safercar.gov

Replying to: stillabeelieve (Oct 16, 2008 11:29 pm) This is an update to a posting I did back in August when my thermostat housing broke, last night I drove to the store and when I go back into my car the car started to shake and vibrate then the HOLD LIGHT was flashing. I turned it off and then on and then its fine, lucky the store was only 4 blocks away. What the hell is going on with this car, I hope CHEVY RECALLS these pieces of junk they call cars, I have had nothing but problems since I got it, and now its starting to smell like burn oil. Anyone has had the same problem? Replies to this message: tomh4 (Oct 20, 2008 11:23 am) stillabeelieve (Oct 20, 2008 8:12 pm) poncho167 (Oct 24, 2008 7:02 am)

It will be paid off this Feb

Replying to: macarpio (Oct 20, 2008 12:49 am) I hate to tell you this, but that sounds exactly like what my car was doing. My daughter called it the roller coaster because it shook so much.   Unfortunately, my car is the dealer, suspected cracked Head Gasket. Today they called and said they took out the Cylinder Head and sent it to see if it could be repaired or had to be replaced. They also believe it will be covered by the Power Train Warranty because there's no signs of neglect/misuse.   Everyone need to file a complaint with the NHTSA so they can investigate & get a recall, if no one complains to them nothing will be done.   www.safercar.gov Replies to this message: poncho167 (Oct 24, 2008 7:02 am)

Replying to: stillabeelieve (Oct 20, 2008 8:12 pm) Because its not a safety issue the NHTSA won't do anything about it.

Replying to: moortin (May 09, 2008 5:58 am) Just today my green tick tack (aveo) thermostat broke and i didnt notice untill I looked my gages and it was on the red. But again like many others there was no indicatore lights letting me know something had happen. I cant believe that the thermostat housing is made of plastic. Thats CRAZY anyways I plan to replace the housing but hope nothing bad has come of this incident. Replies to this message: invisiblemass (Oct 27, 2008 9:11 pm) macarpio (Oct 27, 2008 9:12 pm)

Replying to: aveo36 (Oct 27, 2008 9:05 pm) I fixed it and the dealer gave me another plastic housing. Chevy should recall these cars, well after that the HOLD light started to flash and the car shook. I called Chevy and they said "well you have to take it in" sorry. Like if they did not care. oh well good luck to you

#58 of 78 THERMOSTAT PROBLEM? by jhejduk Dec 16, 2008 (12:36 pm)
It looks like my problem is common in source, but perhaps not as much in severity. I was driving about 10 minutes from my home when check engine light came on. I did not notice any significant issues with performance. Drove home, turned off car. Tried to start it 3 days later and it would not start. Engine will crank, but car will not start. Borrowed an ODB II diagnostic from AutoZone and got the following codes:   P0128 P0128 PENDING   These codes on an '04 Aveo, apparently, usually mean the thermostat housing is busted. But, I never saw any smoke or noticed any performance problems. Is it possible that the thermostat busted and resulted in damage to engine, like a warped gasket or something, that would cause it not to start? The car is at 42K miles, past bumbper to bumper warranty but still in powertrain warranty which covers engine parts and towing for powertrain problems. Any advice?
