10/30/2022 0 Comments 2008 chevy aveo dclockat 3:30 he called,told me they hadn't had a chance to look at my vehicle but would get to it tomorrow. i reiterated the issue,he said okay,told me he would be in contact with me. eventually we went into the building to complete my write up, at that point i was told they were backed up on recalls so they may not get to my vehicle despite the appt. i made an appt w/chevy,took the day off work so the car could be there all day.as i arrived to my appt the service writer told me there is not a remedy from gm yet so i will need to cover the cost. 40miles each direction for work-all freeway. i am down to one headlight (driver side) working  as far as running lights go. i was replacing every external bulb every few weeks to keep the lights on. i have been experiencing issues with all of my external lights (my gauge cluster and shifter lights have been out). My 05 aveo,is included in the gm recall#a140093/nhtsa recall#14v261(headlamp switch & drl). however, i did look up a service bulletin and it did say the parts are under warranty. general motors - chevrolet division contacted because i did not take to a gm dealer for service (unable to afford) and because they advised me this is so far out of the warranty, they would not offer any assistance. mileage on the car is under 60,000, i am original owner. since this is a massive rework of the vehicle, it will be out of service one week and the repair cost is $2,100.00. the engine needs to be reconditioned new engine oil needs to be put into the car along with flushing the fluids. the timing belt kit, head gasket, water pump and valve kits need to be changed. car taken to local mechanic after running diagnostic tests on the vehicle, determined the car was savable and that the timing belt broke causing three sets of valves to bend. lost power steering and was unable to restart car again. my check engine light never came on, even after the recent engine failure.Ĭar went to 500 rpm then dropped to 300 rpm then down to 100 rpm i immediately pulled off the main road to a side street. i had a mechanic look at the car to figure out why it was shutting off on me in traffic and there was no indicator of any issue. my car has shut off on me on three different days within an approximate six month period. I believe that the oem engine has serious defects that have been overlooked due to the lack of reporting and lack of serious injury associated with the defect/failure. the mechanic further told me that the aftermarket/remanufactured engines company they deal with does not have an engine for this make and model car because this engine has so many problems that the company will not touch it. a mechanic looked at my vehicle and told me on that the car needs a new engine, the price of which is $4,823.00. i borrowed a vehicle until i had enough money to have the car towed to a mechanic for repairs. i attempted to start the car several times after the incident. my neighbor, and another gentleman who stopped to help, pushed my car back into my driveway. as i was backing my car into the street, and my car was in the lane of traffic the car shut off. there is a small dip where my driveway meets the street so i accelerated so as not to get my tires stuck in the icy dip. I was backing out of my ice and snow covered driveway in february 2015. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. just really concerned because if the fire would have got out of hand i have my grandchildren in the car god forbid something were to happen to them. sincerely if someone needs to reach me my phone number is +. i'm letting you know about this concern because i do not want anybody to die from a car fire because gm.maybe not know about this that it's a big issue an accident waiting to happen. i've been on youtube and found out this is a common thing to happen for chevy aveo will there be a 2004 through 2008. and possibly catch fire or will catch fire it just a matter of an accident waiting to happen. i was just wondering why and gm needs to know what's the sense of having a fuse box if the wires are going to override the fuse. a guy has to do with the right side and the left side in the fuse box being two separate entities of wires which is 7 + 7 equals 14 to control two different sizes. i caught mine in enough time and put it out. for some reason the power is over writing the fuses and not blowing and causing small engine fires that could get out of control. This has to do with the electrical wire harness inside of the engine block for the lights.
