Description of the problem	i am disabled, and in 2005, i purchased a new chevy aveo from gm dealer and in 2006 gm sent notice to all dealers that these engines had a defective timing belt and to notify and offer new car buyers a free replacement of the defective part as failure of defective part would likely destroy the engine. I received no notice from gm or my dealer. When my car reached just 49k miles the defective part failed (rubber timing belt) and has caused massive engine damage requiring all new head, valves, and other parts. Dealer refused to even diagnosis the vehicle to avoid documentation of cause and liability and i had at attempt myself and was severely injured. I live on key west and only dealer who sold me the vehicle is miles sales and service. I have spent $600. 00 to replace defective timing belt and associated parts but one cylinder has no compression confirming values were bent and a 1. 5k head replacement is needed which i cannot afford living solely on social security disability in section 8 public housings so now being disabled i have no transportation for medical appointments, or even food shopping. I was victim survivor of 9/11 wtc attack and since gm and dealer knew of this defect and failed to give notice i believe they are in violation of several consumer and regulatory requirements about known defects notice and replacement standards and have put buyers of their product who are disabled.... In physical danger.
