Nov 292006

Aveo 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 21,000 miles
The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Aveo. While driving 55 mph, the engine and transmission hold lights illuminated and then the vehicle downshifted into third gear. The contact had to shut the vehicle off in order to shift out of gear. The dealer inspected the vehicle five times and was unable to diagnose the failure the first three. On the fourth occasion, the dealer stated that the vehicle misfired. The dealer replaced all of the spark plugs and the air filter; however, the failure recurred nine days later. The dealer stated that the vehicle misfired again and the electronic cam shaft position sensor failed. They reprogrammed the electronic cam shaft position and, as of December 3, 2007, there had been no further occurrences. The failure mileage was 21,000 and current mileage was 45,000.
