2011 Chevrolet Aveo Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“At 60k miles the speedometer stopped working. Vehicle runs fine but not having a speedometer is a safety hazard. There are only a few transmissions that have this problem where the speedometer in operated by a plastic gear inside the transmission. I had to replace the transmission cost me 1600 dollars and the 9 months later that gear let go also. Again I had to change the transmission. The car will not pass inspection without the speedometer working. This is a faulty design and should have been recalled.”

“Purchased this car with less than 30,000 miles from a local dealer. Problems including power loss and over heating within first few days of purchase. Chevy dealer repair we continue to have the same issues currently. Chevy escalates and says not a known issue, we should pay thousands to repair head gasket even though there tech support says to damage to gasket is not showing up when tested. Dangerous small vehicle that looses power for unknown reason and overheats for unknown reason. So far it can not be repaired. Many consumer blogs and same complaints. Thousands of blogs.”

“While driving on the expressway going the speed limit of 55 MPH when all of a sudden, there was a sudden hesitation delay in the acceleration that dropped me to 20-25mph, out of the blue..scared the daylights out of me!!!..I have only 51,340 miles on the odometer, come to find out with a diagnotic check it says speed sensor, coded as p0700/p0722,it was replaced still coded as p0722 ,p0700,p0597 and idle codes too..took it to a GM (chevy dealership and they said with no fault of me, there was pre- mix of transmission fluid and coolant fluid mixing in the radiator..the speedometer and the…”

I spoke to mechanics and they are saying it is the throttle body. As I research this, there has been so many complaints regarding this against GM and nothing not one thing has been done. Do they not understand that as your driving 70 MPH and then have no control of speed in the passing lane or regular lane that you can get killed my another car? If you go under Chevrolet you can see complaints about this. …”

“I have been at the dealers repair shop like 10+ times for the same transmission problem. Today I was out on a quick trip to the store and when I changed gears from reverse (to get out of my drive way) then to drive the gear shifter became hard to move? And then the hold light came on. After that my car went on and off acceleration dragging, then on my way out of the parking lot of the store, I pushed to accelerate and then my car barely moved like slower than the cars regular cruise (like when you let the car move on its own in motion off the accelerator) it went slower than that. …”
