2006 Chevrolet Aveo review from North America

After a week I bought the car, I had to take it back to dealer for vibration of steering and brake pedal. They machined the rotor and balanced the wheel. The same problem came back after a while, they machined the rotor again. I had to go back the third time for the same problem, this time I was told it's an alignment problem, and was taken care of. Now the vibration problem came back again. My friend rented a 2007 Aveo with 14,000 miles on it yesterday. I found the rented 2007 Aveo has the same problem. I wonder if it is a common occurence with other owners.

It's hard to find the real answers from the dealers. Like other owners, I also had the same problem of the key getting stuck in ignition and transmission shifter being locked in one place. When the car was towed to the dealer, they diagnosed the problem to a broken solenoid valve. The whole shifter assembly was replaced under warranty. What is surprising is that the dealer acted like they never heard of a Aveo with such a problem. I bet they are well aware of the problem from the GM databased they have access to.

Any thoughts or suggestions on my experience. Thank you for sharing with me.

Generally a finely built car. Refinement, power and roominess is good as it can get. I wouldn't say the same thing about gas consumption. It's only adequate when it comes to saving gas.
