Consumer Description

WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE ENGINE ALL OF THE SUDDEN QUIT. LISTENING TO IT WHILE TRYING TO RESTART THE ENGINE, MY FIRST THOUGH WAS TIMING BELT. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE HOME AND INSPECTED, THE TIMING BELT WAS TIGHT BUT NOT TURNING ANYTHING, UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT 14 OF 16 VALVES ARE BENT ALTHOUGH THE CRANK SHAFT TURN THE TIMING BELT IS NOT. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT WITH THE 2004 CHEVROLET AVEO AND WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT WHEN THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. #1 NO CLEARANCE BETWEEN PISTON AND VALVES. #2 FAULTY TIMING BELT. *TR
