Aveo

  • 62,590 miles
There was no specific event leading up to the failure. The failure occurred in my 2006 Chevy Aveo. The thermostat housing (made of plastic) completely broke apart and all the antifreeze flowed out. There was no warning. I have ordered a new housing and thermostat, which Chevy has re-designed to aluminum....no longer plastic, and my husband will be replacing. Obviously, Chevy knew there was an issue or they would have stuck with the plastic version. I believe this item should be recalled. Thank you

Aveo

  • 100,120 miles
2306 Chevrolet Aveo lt thermostat housing consists of two plastic parts glued together with thermostat between the two halves. The glued joint came apart and the thermostat fell out on the road. The coolant pumped out and the engine severely overheated. Towing charges from a remote highway location were $190. Repair at lamb Chevrolet in prescott, AZ, totaled $195. This was found to be a common Aveo problem and should have been a factory recall item!
