Description of the problem | I have a 2006 aveo. In the last 12 months, the car has been in the shop for loss of power twice, throttle sensor replaced. Battery replaced, headlights blow out within months of being replaced. Ignition gets extremely hot. Radio blew out, a/c no longer works, passenger side airbag light has now burned out, instrument panel/shifter lights going out. And the car is now back in the shop with a bad alternator. The cost of repairing this vehicle in the last 12 months is ridiculous... Not to mention the towing, the strandedness and stress. I also have a 2000 toyota corolla that has never been in the shop since i purchased it other than routine repairs..... The aveo is not worth the money, even when purchased used. |
