#1 of 48 engine failed by theflyguy May 16, 2007 (5:32 pm)
While driving home from work yesterday, I heard a knocking noise coming from my engine. I was just pulling into my parking lot and shut it down. Found no oil on the dipstick. Had it towed to the dealer, appears front crankshaft seal failed. Did I mention its a 2007 Aveo5 with just 11k on it. Dealer will not replace engine, they are going to repace the crankshaft, and bearings.

Replying to: theflyguy (May 16, 2007 5:32 pm) So....did you get it fixed and is it working now? Or has more happened? Is it a manual or automatic transmission car? Did you have the oil changed just before that happened? Maybe someone didn't do the job right? And all the oil leaked out and caused the seal to fail? Or they didn't even put any oil in...wouldn't be the first time that has happened to someone. Would that cause that to happen?

#3 of 48 Engine Bucking head head replaced twice by junker1 Jun 10, 2007 (8:10 am)
2004 now with 42000 miles on it. This started with about 32000 miles on the car. Radley Chevrolet replaced the top end and the valves per the factory. 1 hour after leaving its back with the same problem and error code. now they replace the catalytic converter. months go by and then wammy its back again. now they say the code was caused by a blown fuse. a week or 2 later , Hello there we are back once again. The same error code again. This time they keep it for a week before they decide Ohh can we give you a rental vehicle ? This is 4pm on a friday night. it was more trouble than it was worth. BAM last night less than a week later it has started bucking but with no error code as of yet and it is a weekend.   what a piece of crap ! ! ! ! ! ! OH believe me I have much harsher words to say.

Replying to: flaaveo (May 29, 2007 9:18 pm) After 3 weeks in the shop, the car has so far preformed ok. It seems that the oil pump failed per the mechanic at the dealership, when it did so it made enough metal that the seal was cut. Reason for the long delay in the dealership was first they replaced the crankshaft and bearings, that did not fix the problem, as the head and cams got trashed with oil starvation. So they replaced the head, cams, etc. Funny thing or not so funny, when I inquired about it being cheaper to install a new long block, they advised could not get one, this for a car thats been out 4 or 5 years. go figure. Oh its a manual trans, I forgot you had asked. Anyway do not trust it, going to dump it before warranty expires.Oh here,s the biggy, the idiot light never came on when it lost oil pressure and started knocking.

Replying to: randydriver (Jun 13, 2007 4:22 pm) Does not have a pressure guage on the Aveo5. Still running fine since repairs, speaks well for the dealership. I am a long time Chevy guy, still going to dump it and go more mainstream. Funny thing is I commute back and forth between Seattle and Northern Idaho, driving 75mph it gets about 32mpg. While it was in the shop I had a Malibu loaner. Drove it back and forth twice, guess what nice smooth ride 32 mpg at 75. No jarring, swaying in the wind, horrible whistling noise when driving in windy conditions. Might be my next car.

#10 of 48 cold by hammill Jan 23, 2008 (9:07 am)
I have an 06 Aveo sedan 5speed with 22,000 miles on it this past thursday i got in the parking ramp leaving work at 6:30 pm and it was about 0 out. Started her up and it made a please don't start me sound ,then when waiting for it to warm up it started chugging and the rpm gauge was all over as the idle was jumping.had no power as i tried to drive so i pulled over and shut it off after a series of starting and shuting off it smoothed out and i got to the gas station and put in some heet.thought the gas line was froze but with the ethanol in the fuel here in Minnesota i thought that wouldn't happen. Anyway it started fine the next morning the engine light shut off and now all is fine.Should i go get it looked at or asume it was a frozen fuel line?By the way my mileage never went down since which also makes me think its ok.
