The steering went out as I was turning and I hit a curb at about 25mph. The rim is toasted, the steering coloum is done, the whole axle is messed up, and oil everywhere, the body is destroyed, may have messed up the engine too lol. I hope they dont total it, though, i just ordered a header for it lol.
Just like my Lanos........
How did the steering "go out"
That sucks! Sorry to hear it...I hope everything works out ok with insurance.
2008 Chevrolet Aveo LS sedan - 13,230 miles
2008 Mercury Mountaineer AWD 4.0L V6 - 34,920 miles
2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS 4x4 4.2L I6- 95,870 miles
sorry to hear.
but i think it wont be good if it is all mechanical..
That sucks dude, well hopefully the insurance works out for you. You could always buy a new Chevy Beat and tell us how much better the Aveo is lol.
Farthest North Aveo: Fairbanks, Alaska
From what you have described, there would be a 99.99999% chance they will total it. Sounds like the unibody could be bent as well, considering the steering column and axle damage. And if oil is everywhere, then there's some severe engine damage I bet.
Sorry to hear about this, hope you get another one or at least get a good settlement. What insurance company are you with?
Yeah, it should be totaled most likely. Im pretty sure the steering coloum is shot and the axle is toast. It had 35,569 miles, not much left to 36k lol, I got lucky. I wonder if the warrenty would cover this. Chevy came and picked it up, I didnt call anyone else yet. At least the warrenty is good. O well though, a PT CRUSIER is not so bad to drive.
I got geico, but they have been good to me so far, I hope to not get them involved though...
sounds like the steering rack failed?
Yeah, thats what im thinking.
