aveo engine noise

Written by: tvent on Feb 27, 2009 07:50 AM

I just took my 2005 Aveo 5 SVM to a Chevy Dealership Service Department in Virginia because of an unknown engine noise at 41,xxx miles. An independent mechanic diagnosed an alternator problem so I'm getting a second opinion. Anyway I took it in and started asking about my powertrain warranty and they said I have none because it did not start until 2007 model year. ... Read More...

Chevy Aveo thermostat housing busted

As a result, the engine coolant will leak out and your engine will overheat. If you see steam coming out of your car, this means your thermostat housing unit might be busted. Recommended ...

As I've read this, I also had gone to the internet searching on the issue. This is actually the first time I have seen a thermostat permanently enclosed like this. This is a know defect issue with Chevy; however, it is happening around the 30K - 46K mileage. Short reasoning for this: it's happening about the time most cars go out of warranty. This is not a "power train" ... Read More...

Written by: busiris on Feb 16, 2008 01:43 PM

Amen, brother! I feel (felt) your pain. I had similar issues with a 2005 hatchback...For example, after the moonroof went out the 2nd time, I was told by the dealer that it must be my fault. So, I know where you are in this issue. I was always treated like the red-headed stepchild on this car, and I can only guess is that the dealers don't make much cash on the Aveo, so ... Read More...
