Uh, the thread is about AC issues on the Aveo, so I posted under it. Just like TankLizzard, who posted about his own AC issues. Did he have anything to offer to help the original poster? No. The topic of the thread is "Aveo A/C Stops Blowing" which is exactly what mine did.
Its clear your post is not here to find a fix for your problem or help others.

Actually, this forum is to state anything Chevy related and others place complaints on here as well. The point of my post is to show that there are similar A/C issues with the Chevy Aveo, warning others of the longevity of the parts, and hoping that someone from Chevy would see this and address it and the poor manner in which it was handled. YOU are the one who is out of line. I quote #2 of the Chevy Forum Rules:
"While debating and discussion is fine, respect your fellow enthusiasts.

I have a 2008 Chevy Aveo with 103,000 miles on it. The air conditioning compressor just failed on this car, and I have been told that replacing it will cost $850. The fact that such a vital and expensive part failed on a car that is only 4 years old and does not contain an extreme amount of miles is unbelievable and reflects the poor quality of Chevrolet. Thus, I contacted Chevy about it, was assigned to a representative, and was told to take it into a dealership to have it diagnosed and then we would talk about them possibly providing cost assistance. The dealership said that the expansion valve needed to be replaced and that the compressor should work fine after that. I reported this to Chevy, who said that they would not provide any cost assistance because of the mileage on the car (by the way, they knew the mileage of the car BEFORE they told me to take it for a diagnosis, which I paid $40, and that they would determine afterward whether to provide cost assistance or not). So I took the car back to my mechanic, who replaced the expansion valve. Guess what? The air still doesn't cool and, just as my mechanic had originally stated, the compressor has to be replaced. So, I am having to spend $850 to replace the compressor on a 4 year old car that Chevy deems as high mileage. Thus, Chevy is basically telling me that their parts go to crap around 100,000 miles, which is very early on vehicles these days. They could have at least paid for the part. I have owned numerous vehicles and driven them until they stop; I have never had such an expensive part failure on a vehicle this young and at this amount of miles. Oh, and this is not an isolated incident. Strangely, my friend who owns a Chevrolet truck is going through the EXACT same issue with his compressor; this will be his second compressor in 4 months! This is my first and last Chevrolet purchase. So, beware potential Chevrolet buyers: if you want a vehicle that's in it for the duration, look elsewhere.<o

BTW I re-read your post; now my a/c is fixed. Thanks for your input.
