I feel your pain, and can understand this could happen to certain models, BUT. This is a very commonly searched problem, the thread is pointed at AVEO. It's on ALL Aveo's, and it's the bottom bolt issue. So when reading this post, you should pay attention to all of the attempts above dealing with the Aveo and figure this is the Bottom Bolt Issue on All Aveo's.

Just the slightest change in the configuration of the various parts might mean one method working best for a given year but not others. If I read '05 non-hatch, I'm going to be confident the information will work for mine - otherwise maybe not. As someone else here once said, it's all about the details.
