Description of the problem | It just cost me $178 to replace the cheap, should've been recalled thermostat housing. Now 3 days later my timing belt, serpentine belt and tension pulley broke that is going to cost me $500 to fix. Gm does not want to seem to take any responsibility for the unsafe vehicle they sold me. There are many, many, many complaints on line of other 2005 chevy aveo owners. I intend to get an attorney and sue gm. I have a 7 year old grandson who was in the car with me when it broke down. This is twice in one month that things have broken on this car. I am also looking into the lemon law. Shame on gm. |
