Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024? A national business reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please reach out to [email protected] by 12/15 if interested in sharing your story.

Chevy Aveo Timing Belt Problems
Has anyone else had this problem...took mine to the dealer to get the serpentine changed and asked them to change the timing belt due to having over 63K miles. Over one month later, they still can't get it the timing right. They had to replace the head, their fault, and when I test drove it...it was missing, backfiring some and the engine was vibrating like mad.

If you don't get it remedied soon I would approach the manager or owner to get it resolved. The mention of getting a lawyer if all else fails could make them act faster if they give you any lame excuses.
Let Chev worry about it.
A salesman told me the belts were 100,000 mile belts.

I'm probably the last guy on earth to want to be an apologist for GM. But if you didn't change your timing belt when you should have, your efforts at invoking a lawsuit are futile.
I have been tracking two Chevy Aveo's for some time now. This is not a recommended car for owning. One of the units had to have a new engine at 63K due to timing belt breakage. There is no excuse in the industry for such poor product performance. Given the number of complaints I have read, to both owners of these units out there that consult with me, I have recommended an interval of 50K miles. When they replace those units, I have also recommended terminating with GM for the replacement. If they can not build a grocery getter, why would I want to consider something else they build? Your name plate is on it, that is your reputation on it as well.
