aveo5 2010 maintenance

[mike1994]

winter is almost over and i am starting to see problems im at 52 000km still on garantee, i am going to get an appointment, i have a few problems, theres missing coolant liquid, there is a thump noise in the front suspension when going over speed bumps or pot holes. when really cold and first starting up the car the steering wheel is hard to turn at first and the power steering motor makes a lot of noise (could be normal??) also there seems to be getting oil loss, also car is not aligned properly, now my question is what are things i should change asap, and what is garranteed? i want a reliable car. what are the maintenance at 50 000km+ what you guys think? also im thinking of getting rid of this car, and going to something more reliable like toyota... whats your point of view?

thanks

The information that you supplied is sketchy at best. What does "missing coolant liquid" mean? Are there visible leaks? Are you seeing the level going down from one check to the next? And even harder to understand is "seems to be getting oil loss". Again, are you seeing drips/leaks? Is the level on the dipstick going down? (when checked on level ground).
One possible reason for all of the suspension/PS/noise/alignment stuff could be the result of driving on really bad roads. If you hit big enough pot holes going any kind of speed, there's a good chance of something bad happening. Just one or 2 deep and jagged holes might be enough (and that's true with most vehicles). And I don't want to sound like I'm knocking your driving, but you should never hear anything going over a speed bump, because you're supposed to slow down to 5-10 or so when going over them. They build them to intentionally cause a jarring impact and noise if you drive over them at anything beyond slow speed.
If you fill in some of the blanks and provide more information, maybe the guys here can get you better answers.
