Recall Fears...

[2010AveoLT]

well, GM has just announced another Recall of some of their latest products (here is a link of where I found the article in question 2014 Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse recalled over brake mix-up - Autoblog) and this has got me worried: so far, they've recalled the HHR, the Cobalt, the Solstice, the Sky, the Ion, the Malibu, the Lacrosse, the Aura, and the Silverado/Sierra Twins for Safety Recalls (and the ones for the Massive Ignition Recall fall right into the timeframe of 2004-2011, which we all know is the Era of Our Cars!). What if Our Aveos/G3s/Waves/Barinas/Lovas/Swift+es are next on the Safety Recall list!?

Depends on how the recall is handled. I have a good bit of money tied up in my car, I won't be happy if it's something they can't fix. (unless they hand me something nicer)

I wondered about the same thing. After all, the Aveo is probably the cheapest product that GM makes nowadays. (Cheaper than the HHR, the Cobalt, the Solstice, the Sky, the Ion, the Malibu, the Lacrosse, the Aura, and the Silverado/Sierra, as you mentioned.)

Then I thought: why hasn't the Aveo been affected by these other broad recalls? One reason might be that there are probably more Aveos distributed worldwide than all those other models combined. It's such a rudimentary car that maybe they got the fundamentals right. Time will tell...

Just don't expect an Aveo to run well or expect minor accessories to work reliably, however. Also the suspension is as lacking in sophistication as a go-kart.

Actually I don't worry about recalls. My experience with the Aveo (and with Chevy dealers) is that they can try to avoid and resist doing warranty work. But they can't decline doing a mandated recall.

The new GM = Government Motors, since the government owns more than 50% of it. Probably the only good thing about it is that since the old GM went out of business, the Government now owns it. And the Federal Government isn't going out of business.

....or maybe because it was made by Koreans (Daewoo) and the only work done by GM was the emblems and that was probably farmed out to Korea as well. I'm thinking we are probably safe.

Well, GM Just Recalled EVEN MORE Cars and Trucks; and again, some of them fall RIGHT in to Our Aveo Era! here's the Article in Question: GM to recall another 2.42 million vehicles

Its only a matter of time before GM Recalls Our Cars as well from some Dangerous Safety Defect.
