Description of the problem | Hi i bough a 2005 chevy aveo with 9,000. 00 mile i had no problem. Until one day the car completely stop and wont turn on. It had almost 23,000. 00 when it happen. Luckily for me it stop in front of a mechanic shop. The shop check the car and said the engine is bad. I bough a used low mileage engine replace it and it turn on and drive except for the shifting. It didn't shift to fourth gear and also turn off while driving it. Then i was told the transmission is bad. I change the transmission with low mileage and still i have the same problem i had warranty change it again and still it doesn't shift fourth gear and it still turns off. I change the computer, i did a tune up, engine oil change, i've change the coils and some seal in top of the engine, and i still have the same problem. The car been sitting since then i wanted to wait to have money to fix it, thinking that maybe the shop was lying to me by asking me to replace all this things. I save i few dollars and wanted to get it fix i had another shop looked at it and it seems that is the same diagnostic was detected. I friend told me to google it and i found out that am not the only one with that problem. I just wish i google it before i spend all the money on it. Lesson learn i hope they do a recall because i too was afraid to drive and get in to an accident because it turn off on me . |
