Description of the problem | Chevy 2004 avero timing belt broke which also damage engine had to replace valves which cost over $1100. 00. This incident happen when my wife was coming from therapy on a highway (bqe), in brooklyn when out of no-where with no warning signs, the car just stop, which could have cause a unthinkable events of accidents. Thank to my higher power , that no one was hurt or even worse, fatally injured. I had the engine re-built, hopefully this would never happen again, because i will always have the timing belt inspected ever time i change the oil to avoid any failure or unwanted injuries or death due to gm lack of not recalling this vechicle because my 2004 avero only had 58,000 moles only, when the car manual indicates that it should be replace every 60,000 miles. *ln |
