Common problems and easy repairs on a 2009 Aveo

The 2009 Chevrolet Aveo LS is an easy car to maintain. Changing the battery shouldn’t be a problem as it provides very open access to both its bracket and terminals. The transmission fluid dipstick is quick to find and easy to remove and read, allowing you to reliably monitor its fluid levels. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together, allowing for fast removal and set-up in the event of a flat.

However, the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo LS has its downsides. Changing the cabin air filter may be a problem, as you’ll need to remove the glove box and pull back a portion of its housing for access to the filter elements. The headlights won’t allow for reliable bulb changes, on account of their bulb housing proving tricky to maneuver around. The tail lights also require their housing to be removed for access, whose removal can be a rather tedious procedure.
