Back in 2017, when i joined Aveo Forum, it had 185,000.
Now it has 245,000.
Since 2017, living in the summers of Florida, i have gone through 3 batteries.
I thought i had a major problem because the Check Engine light came on and the HOLD light kept flashing.
in trying to have it repaired 'correctly', i took to the dealership and they took me for a ride. they replaced the ECM & TCM but it did not fix it. they wanted me to bring it back, but i didn't want to give them anymore of my money.
took a couple of days off work, browsed the internet (including Aveo Forum) and decided to try a couple of things...mainly thinking the Throttle Body. in order to replace the Throttle Body, i had to disconnect the Air Intake Hose. when i went to disconnect the Air Intake Hose, it became VERY floppy. when i removed it, the hose was barely connected by the top of the hose, having the bottom with huge gaping holes!
after replacing hose and body throttle (looked fairly dirty -- probably due to all the crap being sucked in through the hole on the intake hose), probably was solved.
took the air intake hose and plopped on the service manager's desk and asked if the tech had even popped the hood and if i could have my money back.
he stuttered something useless.
i think i've seen the term 'stealership' on a post here. yeah, that's what they are.
anyway, Silver Bullet (is what i call it) still running great!
