Description of the problem | I have a 2005 chevrolet aveo with 50,000 miles. I have done the routine maintenance on the vehicle. However, a week ago the timing belt broke and ruined my engine. In my maintenance book it says not to change the belt until 60,000 miles and gm is telling me it is my problem since i am no longer under warranty. I have looked on line and found others who have problems with their timing belts going before the required maintenance. Can you please help. They want $2,200 to fix vehicle. This occurred while i was driving and i lost power in my car while gliding through a red light. Thank god no one hit me. Updated ivoq 02/02/11 |
