Description of the problem	Was enroute to work in 2005 chevrolet aveo when the timing gear pulley broke on the motor. The engine was destroyed as i found out later. 5 or 6 weeks earlier i had just had the timing belt replaced. I had it replaced before factory reccomendations. My mechanic told me then i needed to have it changed. The belt did not break to cause engine failure. A cheap plastic pulley broke instead. When the pulley broke the timing belt went limp and the engine decided to deposit some valves through 1 piston. This to me is a safety concern since it was all i could do to get the car off the interstate. Chevrolet knows about these problems and they dont seem to care. I dont think this vehicle should be allowed to be sold.
