2004 Chevrolet Aveo LS from North America - Comments

After driving the car for 5 months, 2500 miles my service engine light began blinking. I immediately took it to the dealership and found that my injectors were bad. Thank God for warranty cause that little service call would have cost 1300 dollars in repair.

After a year some little annoying things began to spring up.

Clock resting itself twice a week.

Power fluctuating so bad I couldn't use my child's dvd player in the car.

Having to turn the key two or three times to start the car.

Repeatedly blowing the door lock fuses about once a month.

Some awful squeaks in the front end.

Nine months, 11000 miles past and I am living with the quirks. Then I saw the light blinking again. Again I took it directly to the dealer. Again the injectors were bad. They are replaced and I go on.

Now to present my light is blinking again and it's in the shop who knows what it is this time, but with 22700 miles this has not been a good ride.

I don't know exactly what to think about this model of car from my experience it's been a bad dream. Who could have imagined the very first brand new car I ever bought would turn out being more trouble then all the other cars I've ever had combined. Reliable is the last word I would choose to describe it.

If you do decide to purchase one I hope this process does not repeat itself to you. I HIGHLY suggest that the extended warranty will be worth every cent.

I think this was the first year of this car so maybe the bugs werent worked out yet. I was really interested in the Aveo until I found out the car was made by Daewoo and that the resale value is really bad. The reason I'm concerned with the Daewoo product is because a friend of mine had a 1999 Daewoo Lanos and it was not the best car the timing belt broke several times before the car even reached 60,000 miles not to mention the parts were very had to find.

I;ve had my 2005 Aveo for two years now and, except for minor trim problems, the car has been perfect.

If you purchase a new Chevy Aveo, it will be your last new car purchase, as the nightmare never ends. You will probably never trust in a new car again!!!
