Hey there. Im new to the site and joined to help get info on my friends car she is having trouble with. She has a 2007 aveo and it has about 60,000 miles.
Check engine light comes on and off and the codes read...the cat converter, cat seals, cam shaft, and high idle. The car also shakes when accelerating and hitting around 2000 rpm.
She just replaced all four tires and did an alignment. We have been to three different mechs. When getting the tires and brakes check one noticed a loose ball joint and could turn the nut (or part used to held, again dont know this car) with his fingers.
The mechs are saying ignore the codes but obviosuly something is wrong. I didnt know if a bad c/v shaft, wheel bearings or a busted axle could cause the shake. I know she needs brakes but not sure how to tell if they are warped. Also could anything in the trans me causing the shake.
Im sorry if I dont know all the terms, I am still learning. I hope you can help. Thanks!
