Description of the problem | My daughter's first car purchase... What a disappointment. Bought the 2004 chevy aveo used with 80,000 miles on it on a saturday. It broke down sunday. Timing belt broke and caused severe damage to the engine... Now it needs to be replaced. Always do your research... A quick search while watching the car get towed showed that this is a huge, wide-spread problem that gm has decided to do nothing about. Dealership working with us to resolve the problem with a swap in vehicles. |
