Vibration Noise

[wplanck]

Some noises are just there, thought there are not many, where is it coming from, the dash/engine is too general. If it is under any sort of acceleration, I would look at the intake pieces to see if any thing it moving (you can have some one rev the car while in park or neutral to see if you can find the specific area. Any stealership will give you the run around, no matter the company, they just want money.

They used a stethescope and determined it to be from the exhaust pipe. Sounds like it is in or in front of the dash.

you might have the loose ring issue on the front exhaust, if it is the exhaust a muffler shop should find it in 5 minutes.

GM told me they had many Aveos that were worse than mine. I told them they were all defective then. Thanks for the info.

I have filed a complaint with the BBB.

GM and the dealer have replaced my 2011 Aveo LT with a 2012 Impala LT. I'm satisfied.

I would have been happy for a decent car of equal value. There was a huge rebate for Impalas. The dealer said this was partly the reason. My monthly payment raised $116 a month, which I was happy to agree to. They also said that I have been a very good customer in past years. I have aided this dealer in the sale of 6 new Chevy's in the past year. I have purchased 8 new Chevy's in the last 9 years from this dealer. Overall, GM and the dealer were courteous and friendly.

I've had a few chevy's in the past with a similar noise...

There was this cool dealership in the stix that gave me the solution to all the rattles.. GM allows you to actually control where and when you hear these rattles standard in almost every make and model ..

The 2 selector knobs are usually in the center of the dashboard (most vehicles)..1st press the left knob to activate the system...
use the knob on the right to select the appropriate rattle cancellation frequency. Then go back to the left knob and adjust the actual amount of cancellation you prefer.. Presto! No bad noise...only good sounds..

Use a high-end noise canceler for best results...
