Description of the problem	2005 chevy aveo. Thermostat is originally, from factory, permanently encased in a plastic type housing. This is all one (1) piece. Chevy has superseded this item with a metal type housing within their ranks/computers, because it was a known issue. This item (plastic thermostat housing) knowingly splits as early as 30,000 miles. For us it was about 46,000 miles. This was never a recall item nor was any information ever sent out warning about it. Failure of this part leads to the known leaking and expelling of hazardous anti-freeze/coolant on roads but also leads to the unrealized overheating of engine. This can lead to unnecessary engine damage from simple overheating of oil to the extreme of blown head gaskets, blown/broken cylinder rings, warped engine heads or complete engine seizure. Chevy retails the new metal part from $82. 00 - $95. 00. This failing part was known early enough that the new product had already been made and distributed to dealerships. Web logs are full of this particular failure, on this vehicle.
