My check engine light came on in my 2010 aveo. Dealership said it was a spark plug. I had it replaced by them and then noticed the car was still sluggish. I then had all plugs replaced and still noticed slugishness. Now my light came back on and I am now a little over the warranty miles. Dealership said the problem is with the aftermarket high end plugs. I told them ... Read More
2010 Chevy Aveo Hatchback
Written by: rjewel on Oct 3, 2011 10:32:34 AM
Yes, I bought another Aveo. Problems thus far, check engine light started coming on at less than 9000 miles. Took it in and was told they'd have a service bulletin this has been a problem and they had to "reset a computer module." Just wondering, anyone having other issues with their 2010 Aveo? So far, other than the driver side front tire cover which kept coming off after being replaced...coyote decided ... Read More

First time it was taken from the Dealership at 8pm and at a stop light it stalled. Second time a trip to the Flower shop from its stored location and it stalled third time a trip to Home depot and it stalled I drove it that last time and it was in the middle of the day, the trip was quick, I did not even turn on the radio, needed no ...

BWolfe thanks for the suggestion. This Aveo was purchased for a Flower delivery business. The actual flimsy white tag with the Vehicles vin# is actually the only key available for this vehicle, I locked up the spare- we have yet to even put it on a key chain and this vehicle which has been driven 3 times, again it only has or had 254 miles on it when we experienced stalling ...

James the mechanic at the Dealership frowned when we picked up the car. They replaced the battery. James mentioned that if there is a ground wire problem they can not find it and if it happens again have it towed in again and they will look again. He said sometimes Electrical problems are illusive and take a few tries to fix. ....Not Good for me good for you for having an ... Read More

You are totally wrong. I traded it in on a Hundai Accent. I refuse to deal with cars that have problems which can't be easily identified. I need reliable transportation. I will never buy an Aveo again.
I can understand your frustration with this being a new vehicle and all, but I am glad to see that you are planning to work with the dealership to resolve the concern. Please feel free to keep us updated regarding the fix. Thank you. Tricia, GM Customer Service.

There is one other possibility you might check. If you use a key chain or key case that dangles from the ignition switch, that can cause the switch to go to the off position - hence, the "stall." It is best to use the key only in the ignition switch. Burton
My 2009 has about 8000 miles on it with no problems. This could be as simple as a loose battery cable. But since you say the battery "will not hold a charge", it might also be that you have left a door or a light on that is draining the battery. I can understand your frustration, but don't condemn the car prematurely. OTOH, DO "hold the dealer's feet to the fire" ... Read More
2010 Chevy Aveo Starting Stalling problems
Written by: mrszack on Apr 27, 2011 4:35:46 PM
Purchased our 2010 Chevy Aveo 94 days ago. It stalled the first week, continued to stall the second week. Keeps stalling. I have been in total denial since purchasing this car thinking it was just the new car needing to be driven host of reasons. Thinking-Wishing-Praying it was "is" just a glitch...temporary thing and today the sad fact is it is NOT! Now we have charged the battery twice it will ... Read More
I have a 2009 Aveo 4 door with hatchback I bought brand new in April 2010. We have had TONS of issues with it. It had a battery leak due to a bad weld job that cracked the battery and acid went throught the engine area (and all over our new home's garage and drive) All the front end has been replaced from the axle, cv boots, lower control arms (just ...

Important: Why your Aveo automatic gets poor city MPG
Written by: barkydog on Mar 18, 2010 8:54:53 PM
Our 2009 Aveo5 is only a few months old with less than 2000 miles on it. We like the car very much except that the city MPG has been disappointing. The city EPA estimate is 25. The best we have been able to get is 22 MPG. After installing a scan gauge and driving very conservatively I was determined to find out specifically why the fuel economy is so inadequate. After ...

Don't pay up for these cars... There may be a huge shooting gallery for most cars in the traditional may-july inventory reductions. A 90 day supply is considered bloated for most autos.
