Description of the problem | While driving i noticed a smoke coming from under the hood. I looked down to see my engine temp indicator on hot. I wasn't far from my home luckily at the time, so i drove it home. I opened my hood a couple minutes later to find water sizzling on my thermostat housing. (which is constructed of two pieces of plastic, glued together) i tried to look up info on it and came across all kinds of people complaining about this exact same problem with their 2004-2005 chevy aveo ls. The earliest complaint i saw was as early as january of 2009. After looking at your website, i found out that there is no recalls on this item at all. Also, the only place to get a new one is at the dealership for $91. 00 and that is without labor cost. In addition, it is not covered under warranty. |
