Engine light came on while driving and car started to slow down. It can't be throttled beyond 10-15 MPH, so pulled over. Took it to closest auto parts shop and the code reader came up with p2101/p2135 indicating there is a potential problem with 'throttle' functionality. This problem was reported by gm eng. Team and there is a technical service bulletin with the same model but gm is not considering to fix the issue with my car as it is out of warranty. This is a serious safety concern and expect gm to help fixing it. It is same as the federal safety agency 10034366.

Car idles rough and shudders in park and while stopped at traffic signals. Car has died at stops numerous times but usually starts again with no problem. When driving at all speeds and depressing the gas the car has no response or loses power and will not accelerate, then the rpms shoot up and the car lunges forward. This is dangerous! Replaced the maf sensor thinking this could be the issue. This did not correct the problem and car is still acting up. Intermittent failure. No trouble codes and no check engine light.

Since I got my aveo5 ls in 2013. I have been problems since the air bag light on thinking my air bags don't work at all. The clock doesn't keep set. The flex tube needs be replaced every month. My headlights and brake lights need to replace two times a month or more. Then to find out I almost had a fire with my headlight plug is melted crispy black, now my headlight don't work as well. The module behind passenger side back always need to replace especially in winter. I had my car for 3 years and my paint has been coming off due to factory paint problem. Now I can not keep engine light off since I got my car, I think I put more money in buying parts then I paid for the car. Gm did a very poor design for this model

Lets start from the beginning when I first bought the car my air bag light and clock light will go in and out over bumps more the air bag light. Now and still the air bag light on dash is on and passenger air bag light above the clock says off when someone is sitting in the seat. 2nd my tail lights I go threw them like water. 3rd the thing in the passenger side back right next to the tire every winter I have a problem with wires or the whole thing braking. 3rd its says good gas mileage ya right. The gas gauge doesn't work proper ran outta gas a few times. I have replace battery and spark plugs now I having engine problems with engine light on the engine is riding rough my whole car is shaking I can not go to speed even when the gas petal is to the floor. I see a recall and now its closed the recall says degraded connection between ignition coil spark plug boots and spark plugs. Pretty sure that's the cause. My body paint is coming off. It started coming off not even 2 months after I bought it . Sometimes the radio and clock with air passenger light shuts off and will not come back on until I shut the car off and back on. The onstar stop working all together. The defrost doesn't work to well unless high. My overall of this car is a money hog to keep fixing parts.

I was driving the vehicle home from work and while slowing down at a stop light, the vehicle started to shake and the check engine light came on. After that I went to accelerate when the light changed and the car would not go above 2 MPH, even with the accelerator all the way to the floor. I brought it back to the dealer for the third time since I bought it 7 months ago and they are working on it now. They said it was the part that allows fuel into the engine.

While waiting in drive-thru for my order, my car began to shudder violently. I was idling at 1 RPM on the meter. Suddenly, my car accelerated itself up to 4 RPM. Had I not had my foot on the brake, I would have rear ended the vehicle in front of me. This persisted throughout the drive-thru and onto the roadway. I tried to accelerate and shift into second gear, but the car lost all power and then would rev up to 35mph without warning. Not once did my check engine light come on. Brought it to the dealer and was informed that my information cluster needed to be replaced and that chevy doesn't cover that part outside of the warranty period. I just paid my car off and the extended warranty just expired. I'm looking at paying $700 and they're not done looking at my car. This is unacceptable. Something needs to be recalled because from what I've read, my car isn't the only one that has experienced this.

I own 2009 chevy aveo. While driving at no particular speed, the vehicle lost acceleration and stalls out without warning. The vehicle did start back. This failure has been going on since I bought the car in 2012. It is getting worse and worse. It doesn't run right at no particular time, just whenever. Don't ever know whether I am going to get to my destination or not without having to pull over so I don't get run over by traffic because my car is going no where. I have taken it to several dealerships several times. It wont duplicate the problem when they drive it and the service engine light is not coming on to get a code. The car only has 45,000 miles on it. It is a safety issue. Something should be done!!!!!!!!!!
