Has anybody had engine problems with their 2004 Chevy Aveo?

I had the engine coals burn up and some wire harnest on the passenger side melt together. I had the other typically problems like cd player and clock and I on occasion the gers don't shift eaily and I have a auto. it is only three years old and I'm about to put 1,000 bucks in it to fix all its problems :' ^

john is right its a daewoo nu ff said . you got hustled by gm badge switching . also the Suzuki forenza is a daewoo too so watch out .i worked for a dealer that had the daewoo franchise and I was happy when daewoo when under .. lets say you may want to look for a new car .. the coil shorted equals bad catalytic converter .. and your changing problem is the harness is shorted under the passenger side seat..sounds like they didn't fix that issue daewoo had the same issue on the lanos ..

Remember you bought the least costly car. Susuki makes for Chevorlet. Mechanics used to working on American Iron really feel lost doing the work on the little suzuki. And now Chevy took over Daewoo Warranty servicing too. I reccomend cut your losses trade that car in for a Malibu Max. Or something else at that dealership. I just hope you don't owe much on it?

Dear Aveo

Before you throw $1000.00 bucks away, you had better get that car to your Chevrolet Dealership. My guess is that may be something that can be covered by the warranty on your car.

If this is the case, you may only be out the cost of a rental car. If you haven't checked with your dealer, my suggestion is to do so now.

There could be some factory recalls or campaign things that can also be protected under new service bulletins from Chevrolet.

I hope that will assist you out.

I'm a chevy tech and I have never seen that myself but I haved noticed the aveo is, well, kinda junk. seen timing belts break a lot before schedualed substitute and ruin heads. keep that belt changed punctually.

My brother has a 2006 five door 5spd, I think he already has non working cruise, and the inside door handle/armrest is loose. I think he may have had to replace the head gasket already too.
