Description of the problem	The previous evening we were coming home from visiting some friends ,the car was never over 100 miles day we bought it until the time of the engine's demise,we noticed a slight clicking noise over the music of the radio, pulling into a lighted area, we found all fluids fine, no dripping, no heating up, no stalling, no real indications of any trouble except a slight clicking.. The next morning i noticed a clicking at start up, immediately i drove off to the repair shop that was just blocks away,when i was within 1 block of the shop the entire system shut down, we were forced to get a wrecker to tow us the last block. The independent repairman informed us this was a common problem with this make of auto (aveo) due to a design defect with the timing belt ,it would destroy the engine and he could not find a replacement engine. Because we had 75 thousand miles on the car, (and it is paid off) he thought he had heard of a recall in 2006,he suggested we contacted the auto dealer, auto way chevrolet, hwy 19, clearwater, fla. Which we did. We were informed by their service director that they could not find an open 2006 recall, though a reminder to replace belt at 68 k, no alert nor advisory was ever received though we do get all advertisements and she advised awc did not handle such a problem, but, they would give us gm's number, upon calling that number i talked with a very amiable young man in buenos aires, who also informed me they did not appear to have a recall on this particular model, he then called auto way chevrolet, clw. Fla, usa and monitored the service department now telling me if i would bring it to them, they could evaluate the cause and maybe work something out with us.. Upon internet investigation we have found a number of individuals complaining about this year,of aveo, having the engine fail in roughly the same mileage 68-78 thousand miles. .
