Keep reading, it gets worse #1 My factory installed battery exploded causing corrosion to the metal prong that attaches to the battery, couldn't replace just the metal prong that attaches to the battery because it's seamed in with the cable, so instead of costing 5 bucks for a prong it cost over $200 for the entire cable, though the cable would've been fine, just ...

Chevrolet Aveo-Where are They

Written by: grace4ever on May 21, 2009 10:17 AM

I agree. I have never seen them advertised and when I was looking for a small car to buy I just happen to stumble on the Aveo. I had never heard of it and assumed it was a "new" chevy model when in fact the dealer said it had been out since 2004. What a surprise! I did buy one but still have never heard of any advertising of it. crazy Read More...

Chevrolet Aveo Engine Problems

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. Read More...

It was...but not now. Since I've been assured this has now happened to 3 Aveos, not sure what to think and still no car. Emailed chevrolet.com, no response. Surely a trained chevy mechanic with 20yrs experience could get the timing right...ya would think!!! Read More...

Car Will Not Start

Written by: Jeterlosky on Jan 25, 2009 01:56 PM

My boyfriends 2004 Chevy Aveo at 69,000 miles will not start. It did this about 6 months ago and it turned out it was the timing belt, which bent a valve I think. Eventually this cost around $700 because my brother worked on it for him. Now the car won't start again, the valves are moving, so it's not the same problem. There's spark going to the coil pack. Any suggestions? Read More...

I am clueless about cars - Anybody got any suggestions as to what I might need to look into? I don't ... Read More...
