Description of the problem | I purchased a 2005 chevy aveo and i have had nothing but problems ever since. After 1 year the car broke down. The idler stuck at full-throttle and burned my timing belt off. Not only the engine but the car was rendered useless after that. I had to replace the engine (my pops did really) and now the second engine has done the very same thing at only 18,000 miles. Twice i was lucky enough to be in a position where my daughter was not with me at the time and i could push my car off of the road myself and not get killed. I called gm and they say that they cannot guarantee that they will fix the problem for me. The first time i talked to them they wouldn't even listen to me. They told me that my vin number did not match the recalls... Though these cars had the very same problem. The car should have either been replaced or i should have gotten my money back. I have been rendered homeless and jobless twice now because of this car. I've lost everything. I can't keep paying on this car with their faulty engines. If i replace the engine it will do the same thing. It's not vin specific... It's the engines period. I could have gotten killed twice! |
