I purchased my car in August of 2010 brand new in August of 2011 I had to replace all 4 tires the tires that were on were hankook so they put 4 new tires on in July 2012 my tires were shot and I went to get my car inspected and it wouldn't pass on this one hankook said the tires that were on it were 60,000 tires so they would pay 80 % and I had to pay 20% and I could pick whatever brand of tire I wanted I didn't know what to pick so went with yokohama and those were put on somewhere between 25 to 26,000 +miles well here I am August now of 2013 I knew my tires were shot so set it up for inspection and of course it would not pass I had to have 4 new tires again. These Chevy paid for 2 and I had to pay for 2 they now have put Continental my new car from Aug. 2010 now has its 4th set of tires on my car was a little over 38,408 miles on it when the 4th set of tires was put on I keep trying to tell them there has to be a defect in the vehicle that this is not normal(and I don't see how it is safe) I do tire rotations and tire alignments and am now being told by the district specialist that at least now we have it recorded and these are 60,000 mile tires (which I said wow so was the first 2 sets of hankook. (these 2 tires cost me $260 and I do not think this is something that is normal to be dealt with every year. I have never even had an old vehicle that went through 4 tires every year

We have had numerous problems with the battery not staying charged. We would get ready to drive it and we would need to get a jump start. It got to the point where we considered buying a portable charger so we wouldn't have to wait for roadside assistance. In the last incident, I was driving and all of the lights illuminated at once. The power steering stopped working and then the car stopped. As we were waiting for a tow truck, a mechanic who was driving by looked under the hood and discovered that our serpentine belt and another belt had broken. We took it to a mechanic and were told that there was engine damage and the head gasket needed to be replaced and possibly the whole engine. Also, we have had to replace the tires numerous times for no apparent reason. They keep going flat. According to a Consumer Affairs website, these issues seem to be common with Aveo owners. www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/chevy_aveo.html.
