2005 Chevrolet Aveo Problems
Check Engine Light Due to Gas Cap Issue
Illumination of the Check Engine Light can be caused by a loose or worn gas cap.
Front Brake Rotor Wear Can Cause Pulsations
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians often recommend replacement of the front rotors and brake pads as the best option to correct this condition.
Key Stuck in Ignition Lock Cylinder
The automatic transmission shifter may fail causing the ignition key to become stuck in the ignition lock cylinder.
Turn Signal Switch May Fail and Cause Signals Not To Work
The turn signal switch may fail causing the turn signals to stop working.
Speedometer Not Working and/or Code P0722 Stored in PCM
The speedometer may stop functioning with code P0722 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). This may be caused by a worn speedometer gear due to coolant contamination of the transmission fluid. If contamination is found the radiator is most likely at fault. The transmission should also be thoroughly inspected and repaired or replaced as required.
Water Pump Inspection With Timing Belt Service at 60,000 Miles
Our technicians recommend having the timing belt replaced at 60,000 miles. They also recommend inspecting the water pump for coolant leaks while servicing the timing belt. If the water pump shows signs of leakage it should be replaced at this time.
Noise From Rear Wheel Bearing
One or both rear wheel bearings may develop an abnormal noise and require replacement.
Replace engine coolant every 30,000 miles
Idler and tensioner pully.
I had new cam belt and water pump replaced as recommended by GM/Chevy. They did not replace tensioner pully. It flew apart in less than 100 miles. That blew all the valves. Had repaired. Total cost over $1600.0. Nothing but problems since. Another $500.00. My advice, get rid of Chevy Aveo and never buy another GM product!!!
DAY LIGHT LIGHTS
DAY LIGHT DRIVEING LIGHT STAY ON WHEN CRANKING ENGINE IT PUTS MORE LOAD ON STARTING THEY DONT GO OFF WHEN PARKING BRAKE IS IS ON THEY GO OFF WHEN THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE TURN ON LIKE THEY SHOULD.
