NHTSA Complaint #10588954 — 2008 CHEVROLET AVEO

I PURCHASED A USED 2008 CHEVY AVEO IN JUNE 2011. NEARLY ONE YEAR LATER I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH IT. JUNE 2012 - VALVE COVER GASKET WAS CRACKED AND CAUSED SMOKING AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP. SEPT. 9, 2013 - SPUTTERING AND STALLING. WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO A HOLD IN THE EXHAUST PIPE. REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP. SEPT. 16, 2013 - STILL EXPERIENCING POWER ISSUES. WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP. NOV. 7, 2013 - ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY CAM SENSOR. REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP. JAN. 23, 2014 - ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD THE OXYGEN SENSOR HAD FAILED. REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP. APRIL 20, 2014 - TPMS LIGHT FINALLY WENT OFF AFTER BEING ON FOR 3 MONTHS. AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING THE SAME DAY. WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE (AC CLUTCH). DURING THE SAME VISIT AN INSPECTION FOUND THE RIGHT FRONT TOP BUSHING WORN, LEFT LOWER BUSHING WORN, AND REAR CROSS MEMBER BUSHING BROKEN. I SENT A LETTER TO CHEVROLET, EXPRESSING MY DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE QUALITY OF THE AVEO. MY OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES HAD BEEN GREAT, BUT THIS AVEO FELL SHORT. AFTER SPEAKING TO SOMEONE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHO?IN RESPONSE TO MY STATEMENT "INDIVIDUALS WHO PURCHASE THESE KINDS OF ECONOMY CARS ARE TYPICALLY ON A BUDGET AND CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIRS THE AVEO HAS NEEDED DUE TO ITS POOR QUALITY"?SIMPLY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT HER FAULT THAT I COULDN'T AFFORD A BETTER CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN. *TR
