My aveo aka cheepy is sick :(

[skippy911]

Well this has been an ongoing thing with my aveo for two weeks now. The problem is she sometimes trys to stall in the morning when I come to a complete stop after driving. Now last week this happened in the morning, afternoon and night. I her into the chevy dealer (bunch of not a very nice persons), and they said nothing was wrong that they could find. They gave me the ole' "Can't reproduce the problem" and sent me on my way. I took it in 3 times in one week. By the 3rd time I was really pissed so I called the general manager and explained what is going on. Needless to say it is back in the shop today and I am driving an Impala in the mean time.

Also, anyone who works for chevy can you find out if there are any bulletins out about my particular problem. Right now Cheepy is in the shop getting reprogrammed which is supposed to fix the problem. The General manager showed me a bulletin which I did not get to read but he claims it has todo with reprogramming Cheepy. The car was also revving very high before shifting gears (automatic).

I'll keep you all posted on what happens.

Well I got her back today. They had to program something with the crank on the car. I know nothing about cars other than turn the key and it goes. We'll see how long this fix lasts.

Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope Cheepy is cured! ;D

[Brian5475E]

was it the crank or cam. The lanos had problems with the cam sensors

[skippy911]

I think it was the crank sensor but like I said im clueless when it comes to that stuff. I'll call the dealer and ask tomorrow.

[skippy911]

Well it is back in the shop again! I am going to file with the georgia lemon law and get my money back this is ridiculous.

[skippy911]

Well as of 12/2/4 chevy has received my notice about the car being a lemon now they have 7 days to reply.

[MrFrost]

Be sure to keep us informed as to what goes on, okay?

[skippy911]

Will do. As of today cheepy has been in the shop for 18 days in total!

I had the same problem with my 04 Aveo. I took it to the Dlr and they could not "duplicate my concern" well, one day my car would not start at all, had it towed to dlr and within 3 hours it was repaired. They replaced a map sensor in the vehicle and ever since then it's been working fine. Hope that helps you!

[skippy911]

Well I got cheepy back today. Apparently they fixed it. (Yah right). Anyways they replaced some gaskets or something. Chevy corporate is giving me a bumper to bumper extended warrenty till 95,217 miles in other words a 90k mile warrenty and they are making one of my car payments. I wish they would make 20 of em. Anyways lets see how long this so called fix lasts.

[skippy911]

New update on good ole CHeepy. Well its got the same problem again! Less than 1000 miles put on her since I got it back. I submitted the final paper work to chevy corp and they are supposed to get started on getting me my money back.

Now the big question is what car should I get hmmmm.

[MrFrost]

Man, that really sucks.
You must have gotten one of those units built on Monday or Friday.
My Aveo has proved flawless, which sorta ticks me off because I've been dying to test the warranty to see how my local service department conducts itself. Got just over 12K on my L'il Pup.

Well, keep us updated on how the Lemon Law thing plays out.
And........why not try another Aveo?

[skippy911]

After all the visits back and forth to the chevy dealer and the service dept treating me like crap I say no chevy's ever again for me. Ill keep yah posted on the lemon law stuff. I am supposed to get a call tomorrow about the car from chevy corporate.

[EnigmaM4n]

Ya that does suck! i would say get the new Saturn Ion Redline! ;D but thats my own oppinion.

i have had to have the Airbag Module replaced on my car as well as the Intake mani because it Cracked!
