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.

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.

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

I have 2006 Chevy Aveo LS sedan (base model with ABS & premium sound)- bought in June 2006 as new. I live in Minnesota where it is very cold. It has about 27,500 miles on it. Till now there has not been any problem with it. Drive 20 miles one way to work. I do notice that in winters when the car starts, it roars a bit but then cools down  ....I guess thats normal for the cold weather starts. All the time I took it to the mechanic was for oil change and regular maintenance. I will post any issues I find here....but none so far. |
