Have there been any further updates on any other recalls? My car is out of warranty, and I just don't want to have any existing problems that could be repaired, if only I knew of them
the only recall i have heard about was the coilpack/plug recall, i know there were also a few service bulletins, but every car has those. the only "common" issues on the 09+ that arise have been fuel pump, o2 sensors, and the coil packs. OF all the repairs and things that get/need done that people complain about i don't know of enough to consider them common.
i would probably add in the wheel bearings, and rear control arm bushings on the common stuff although many 09+ owners dont have the mileage to need those done, it is common on the older cars, and i have done mine as well already.
I'm worried something is wrong with my front end, I drove home..reversed into my garage and herd a creak sound...got out heard it again...later on..came back out and shook car back and forth..it reproduced sound..long story ahort I feel like I isolated sound to front driverside tire...read reviews about issues with lower control arms, and that the bushings? Are exposed to salt and dirt and can cause them to prematurely dry out or rip? I'm gonna take me tire off tomorrow and see what I can see...
My 2011 Had to have the plug+ recall and my front steering sounds horrible. Ill let you guys know what they say when they look at it. They have to fix a squeaky pulley too.
you Just HAD to Remind me of my Own Problem Didn't you... 7 Months with that Check Engine light, and i'm no closer in finding the problem.Quote:

And yes U are absolutely correct about the O2 sensors, I am very thankful for Rock Auto their shipments hit my house in 2 days.
Has anybody had a problem with there 2009 aveo showing a 2135 code and going into limp mode. I reset with my scan gauge but it comes back again. this has been an on going saga with me for a year but was good this past summer. There is a TSP out to change the wiring harness to a tune of Big Bucks. Im not convinced. I have posted this before and wanted to know if anyone else had this problem
When we bought my 2011 within a week my steering started to squeak too. Didn't think anything of it until one of my friends asked "did you lower the front, or do you have smaller tires?" After seeing what she meant I decided to take it to the dealer and sure enough my suspension arms were bent which caused something to break, can't find my paper work on it and that happened over a year ago. But get it fixed quick, have them check your cambers too. Mine are bent now and some fkn prick at the dealership thought I was talking about alignment. He starts to go on about "so you're driving along and your car pulls to the right, right?" I replied "yes but..." (Already knowing where he was going I was going to try to correct him but ended up getting cut off) he begins "and when you're stopped your steering wheel sits crooked, right" so then very loudly but calm I said "wrong, if you would've bothered to actually read what I handed you we wouldn't have this issue." He looked at me and said "this isn't warranty work"Quote:

I had a 2011 Aveo with 38K and had the plugs changed at dealers about 20 thousand miles ago under this recall. I got a blinking check engine light and bad engine vibrations this weekend, had it towed to the dealer and diagnosed as bad plugs and coil ($400 to fix). I asked if the recall plugs were warrantied and told no. Does anyone know otherwise and if that should have been covered?> Thanks, Dave
Why wouldn't it be covered? U R well below 100k and under 5 years. I would argue that one or try another local chevy dealer, Mike Williams Chevy here in CHI has been great-warranty or not
I had my coil changed by a mechanic, didn't realize/receive a letter in regards to the recall. Would receiving a refund from GM an option at this point?
Since you were willing to pay for it and had it done at your expense, why should they give you a refund?Quote:

Those of us old who are old enough to own a car are old enough not to be naive.
i feel like it was not only for the 2009 but the 2010 also. I have a 2010 aveo and i have a 2011 engine in it and it has cause me so many problems. It says one thing i need but with the 2011 engine in it some of the parts changed. It said it is the one part but with 2010 body and the 2011 engine they changed something. At one point my car kept running hot and i took it to the shop three times and they cause not solve the problem. well it was the radiator and i could only put a small amount of anti freeze in it, the shop was putting it to the half line and it was running hot. I had to have my catdalac converter replaced when he took it off it was in crumbs they dont know why. thank god for him and common since, everyone doesnt have it.
I replaced my spark plugs less than a year ago because it started running rough, and one had some burnt oil on the spark plug boot. It was fine after that, but a few months ago it was doing the same thing. Two of the boots have some burnt oil residue but no oil in the opening. The boots look slightly burnt looking, but the spark plugs all look fine. I cleaned and regapped them with no improvement. I finally had time to check them all again Friday. I cleaned all the tips and rechecked the gap and now it runs worse. Before it would idle fine but only run rough under heavy acceleration but now it's running rough at idle too.
Then I just read about this recall, my 2010 is just over 150k kms, does it sound like this is something to do with the recall on the 2009s?
Well mine is'nt under the recall. And after cleaning and regapping the plugs it's running worse.
