Not a happy Camper by conda2

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.

What do you mean by the speedometer is out?
 
Most cars and motorcycles speedo's are not accurate and are off 2-5 mph.

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

It sounds like its fuel related. Have you tried different gas or changed the gas filter?

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.

Sounds like mine after the serpentine belt and timing belt were both changed. Ask them to check the timing belt. Chevy advised to check/change the timing belt at 60K.
 
I pesonally miss my Aveo...drove it 5 years with no problems except for replacing fuses. Now, if it ever comes back from the shop...I'll be happy to drive it again.

I would seek another dealer. If the car is under warranty there is no reason a service department would refuse service when they get reimbursed for their time by the factory. A lot of dealers will try and service vehicles for things that don't need service just to make money.
