Description of the problem | The timing belt pulleys broke on my 2005 chevy aveo at only 42,000 miles ruining the engine. I contacted gm who refused to cover the damage. They stated that i had it towed to a repair shop not a gm dealer. From the complaints i have read on this website, if i had taken it to a dealer, they would not have covered it either. The timing belt is fixed but it is still blowing white smoke out of the exhaust, probably the lousy plasticthermostat housing. There are so many complaints on this vehicle that i believe there should be a recall. |
