Re: The Aveo Shudder and Shake

The Aveo has an interference engine that causes the repair of a broken timing belt to be so expensive. This means that when the belt breaks the valves stop opening and closing but the pistons keep moving and crush the valves that are in the open position. With over 133000 miles on the engine, although only 45K since last replacement, there are other issues that could promote belt deterioration that would give Chevy cause for denial.
