Suspension Noise Problems of Chevrolet Aveo

Identified online there was a prior issue documented for 2011 Chevrolet Aveo with front end suspension. I am being told by dealer this is a wheel bearing issue there were 2 numbers assigned that begin with an " n and t". I became afraid to drive the vehicle because of the information I located and the noise it made when in motion. My car has been serviced regularly bu Chevrolet and this is really a major concern to learn of this problem. I purchased the vehicle in 2012 and strangely this automobile is not no longer a product of Chevrolet. I have never been advised of a safety recall and do not want to be a fatality and when there were opportunities to correct the situation by Chevrolet. I do value my life as well as others who are not being notified of defects in automobiles they purchase. We deserve better customer service and support.

Noisey, rusty hinge sound from front suspension. When googled, it appears to be a common complaint.

I began hearing a "thud" from underneath the car while making near-90 degree left turns, and occasionally when going over bumps at speeds from 5-25 mph. On 11/25/2012 I was ascending level after level in a parking ramp, making left turns. During many of the left turns the "thud" noise was heard, at one point I heard what sounded like a piece of metal falling off the rear half of the car. It made noise as it bounced around the underside of the car before falling off. I stopped, got out, and tried to find what had made the noise but after looking around in the immediate area I couldn't find anything. In the weeks after this event I noticed a slight wobble occasionally while driving the car. The "thud" noise was continuing to increase in frequency and intensity. I didn't feel that it was safe to drive the vehicle as it was now obvious that something was not right in the steering or suspension. I was worried that a tie rod would come loose on the freeway or something similar to that. I brought the car to my mechanic for inspection. He informed me that the bushings had completely rusted out on the rear axle. The axle was loose and moving around while driving! it was beginning to damage other parts of the under body. He was unable to locate any replacement bushings from parts stores or the chevy dealership. The only way to repair the defective bushings was to completely replace the rear axle. My mechanic informed me that there were plenty of axles available in stock for this repair but not a single bushing. This indicates that this is not an isolated case, but that there is a much larger safety issue with these defective bushings on many other vehicles.

There is a ticking noise coming from the right side of the engine. Car is less than 3 years old with low mileage. Why is this going on? oil changes on-time, tires rotated, what is the problem????????? have seen a lot of complaints about several issues that can end up getting someone killed or others hurt. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also, have to keep buying new tires so the car does not ride so hard and I end up killing the suspension. Tires are costly. Again, helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppp.

Noticed a creaking sound when turning and going over the bumps coming from the front suspension area. Took it to the dealership and they replaced the shocks and struts. Still have the noise. Now the car is out of warranty but it still make noise louder than ever.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Aveo. After the vehicle was taken in for service, it began making a lot of noise. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer, but they could not determine the cause of the failure. However, they discovered a screw glued to the front suspension. The contact took the vehicle to another repair shop and they stated that there was a weak strut mount in the front suspension. The contact continued to take the vehicle back and forth to the dealer because the bolt could have loosened and caused a crash. The dealer finally inspected the vehicle and reordered the parts for the repair. The failure mileage was 41,000. Updated 1/6/09 the consumer was told a main connection point bolt on the crossmember was stripped and very loose. Updated 01/14/09.
