Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Aveo owners report experiencing power loss and engine stalls due to head gasket concerns, which can lead to poor engine performance, misfiring, and compression loss. A compromised head gasket may cause the engine to stall from misfires and incomplete combustion, necessitating immediate attention to prevent further engine damage. Additionally, after a head gasket replacement, some owners encounter compression loss if there are underlying issues with the valves or piston rings, resulting in decreased power and performance. It is crucial for owners suspecting head gasket issues to stop driving the vehicle and promptly diagnose the problem using tools like a combustion leak tester or an OBD-II code scanner to confirm the issue.
