Replying to: tootal2 (Apr 11, 2008 10:27 am) You may want to talk with the service manager at your local dealer to see if he has had any in for this problem. Other than maybe three people here I don't recall ever reading about a thermostat problem on this car here or any other forum/blog.

Replying to: 04aveosucker (Apr 12, 2008 11:47 pm) It's not a matter of getting it or not. Plastic parts are becoming more and more common place on auto engines nowadays and some cars have plastic valve covers as well. The issue with the thermostat is not very common especially here on this forum with only maybe 2 people bringing it up. Is this going to be a problem with every Aveo only time will tell. I would think that if it were wide spread than this would have to be a safety recall because leaking anti-freeze could potentially cause some kind of safety problem for a motorist not to mention engine problems.   I see you are new here since last month while I have been here 2-years and these are all new recent post issues. This is the cars 4th year here in the states not its first.
#14 of 78 whatever you say by 04aveosucker Apr 21, 2008 (5:44 am)
well, mr or miss 2 year blogger...i dont sit around posting and reading. i have this problem out in the real world. i only got on here to see if there were any options for me. so congrats to you. you sound like a buffer. if you are so happy with the car, i will gladly sell it to you. and if you think its only been 2 people that this has happened to, think again.

Replying to: 04aveosucker (Apr 21, 2008 5:44 am) Dude!!!   You need to chill out here!   OK, so you have had the thermostat housing problem, and its made of plastic. And, you would prefer that it be made from a stronger material.   Poncho167 didn't cause the failure...He was simply attempting to assist you by making suggestions as to what he might do in the same circumstances...   You may want to talk with the service manager at your local dealer to see if he has had any in for this problem. Other than maybe three people here I don't recall ever reading about a thermostat problem on this car here or any other forum/blog.   If this was anywhere the problem that you think it is, this forum would be covered up in postings about it. Don't believe it? Check out the transmission issues on the Toyota Camry forum. If there are widespread issues with a top selling automobile, Edmunds would be the place to "vocalize" them.   Now, I had an 05 Aveo hatchback as well, and no, I wasn't very happy with the car, and yes, I traded it. However, the one thing that I positively complemented the Aveo on was its drivetrain reliability, even though I thought (and still do) that is was a bit out-dated.   So, if you don't like the car/part/whatever, go take your frustrations out on the dealer and/or manufacturer. There is absolutely no reason to be a "jerk" to someone who is only trying to help.   By the way, did you ever do what Poncho suggested, and discuss the issue with the dealer? Or would you rather just be miserable and sit around bitching about it?
#16 of 78 exact same problem hear too by tomh4 May 04, 2008 (10:14 pm)
I have a 05 aveo and it over heated last night, turns out I had the exact same problem. My thermostat housing looked like someone cut it perfectly in half. So I called around and I guess Its a dealer only part and being Sunday the stealers parts department Isnt open. I have an extended warranty and i guess i could try and have them tow it and fix it but it would take me two minutes to fix it myself so thats whats gunna happen tomarrow. It looks like the housing is two pieces glued together or somthing, it broke perfectly like it had a seam.

#18 of 78 same here by moortin May 05, 2008 (10:29 am)
I just had the same thing happen. It looks like it the housing just broke in half. I am going to try to replace it myself. Have others that had this problem had subsequent problems I should be looking for. Also, it is sounding like a pissed off weedeater--any ideas of what to look for?
