#31 of 48 Re: replacing CO2 sensor 04 Aveo [dettra303] by aveoctb Oct 02, 2008 (9:21 am)
Replying to: dettra303 (Jul 03, 2008 8:43 pm) If you have a lift and can get under the car, no. Sometimes they're hard to reach though and you may need an extension.   1. Unclip the wires from the exhaust 2. Use a wrench to loosen the sensor, then hand turn it the rest of the way out 3. Turn the new sensor into place 4. Clip the wires back into place   If you have a SES light from the old sensor, it will usually take a few cycles for it to go off.

Replying to: busiris (Feb 03, 2008 12:52 pm) The statement you made "Companies like Consumer Reports have done a dis-service when it comes to cars because of the way that they accumulate information. Are you aware that their statistics are based only on payed subscribers who answer their surveys." is absolutely TRUE.  I am a CR subscriber and annually receive a survey re our Ford SUV - and I am NOT a driver. I can only respond based on my limited knowledge and usually respond based on my spouse's experience. No I am no expert on cars, and don't like this survey driven rating since it does not accurately reflect the issues most car owners have. I respond because i try to be as honest as I can hoping to offset the person with a beef. Try to purchase anything using your own common sense and information from people -esp mechanics- who you trust, not companies.

Replying to: cubethrax (Feb 21, 2008 1:31 am) Thanks for responding. I am a little scared after reading what happened with your aveo. Mine is still doing the thing with the lights on the dash, but so far, no actual issues with the engine or anything. I'm just waiting for it to happen though. How long did it take yours after you bought it to start having the issues with the lights? How long after that did the car start to fail? thanks, kt
#34 of 48 I called Corp. Chevy by mtippit00 Feb 12, 2009 (6:31 am)
I have an 04 Chevy Aveo hatchback with 76000 miles on it, I ended up leaking oil on my way home for visiting my family 450 miles away, When I stopped on the way to get my oil changed they drained my car and while it had no oil I asked them to check the dipstick, and it said I was full on oil. When I took it in to the dealer and had them check out why I was spitting white smoke from my car they told my the pistions, pistion rings, bearings, head gasket, and all seals were bad. I called Chevy to find out about them replacing my engine since that is what has been happening to the car involved in the lawsuit with Toyota, They tried to tell me it was normal ware and tear, I would not except that, I told them that if it was "normal ware and tear", then I would never by a chevy again, and that there are Fords and Dodges still on the roads with org. engines with over 150000 miles on them, and the only differance is where they are made. They are now looking further into it and will be replacing my engine. If you have an issue with your aveo, call chevy and don't take no for an answer.

Replying to: mtippit00 (Feb 12, 2009 6:31 am) It's unfortunate what happened to your car and there are Aveo's on this forum with over 150,000 miles also. Your warranty is expired so don't expect any help in this matter as with any other manufacture whose warranty is up.   Not all Toyota's or Ford's make it to 150,000. It depends alot on different variables including maintenance.
#36 of 48 Not a happy Camper by conda2 Feb 24, 2009 (11:08 am)
I bought a 2008 Aveo and is having problems with it too. One thing is the spedomter being out which I could adapt my driving too. Another is having the service light come on every time its cold out side.The last thing is having the tires not availible at a tire shop,but they have have some at dealer ship.I phoned Chev and complained about some of the problems so they looked in to it.They phoned me back and said the spdometer is out we know but it is within GM specifications.As for the engine light coming on your dealer ship has no records of it. And the tire size your dealer ship can get you some.Im ticked of that my dealer ship made me and the wife sit in the waiting room while they looked at the Engine code and comes back too us and tells us oh dont worry about it.They do that when its cold outside.Then they tell GM they never had my car in there for the light.They are pi$$in me off GRRRR.

Replying to: conda2 (Feb 24, 2009 11:08 am) What do you mean by the speedometer is out?   Most cars and motorcycles speedo's are not accurate and are off 2-5 mph. Replies to this message: conda2 (Mar 17, 2009 12:44 pm) poncho167 (Apr 24, 2009 7:08 am)

#39 of 48 acceleration miss in my 06 aveo by rgraefe Mar 19, 2009 (12:59 pm)
my wife and i drive 80 miles a day for work. so we needed a fuel efficent car. that's why we bought a 06 chevy aveo. it ran fine when we got it. now when we accelerate to go up a hill which there is alot of hills on the way to work and also when we go to pass someone, it missess and pings badly. it acts like it's going to puke out. once you get over the hill or get past the other car it runs fine. would fuel octane cause this my wife thinks i need to change the spark plugs. so i bought them to please her. but i'm not sure were there at to replace them. i've replace many of plugs in my life but only in older cars. can i replace them myself? is there a service manual that i can download for free Replies to this message: poncho167 (Mar 20, 2009 1:50 pm) fedupwithaveo (Nov 13, 2009 4:39 am)

Replying to: rgraefe (Mar 19, 2009 12:59 pm) It sounds like its fuel related. Have you tried different gas or changed the gas filter?
