While accelerating from a stop at a traffic light I reached approx 20mph. At this point, the throttle ceased to respond. I had to coast to the side of road. I put the car in park and let it idle. Even in park, the throttle was unresponsive for a while. Finally I was able to give it some gas and it idled up to 2200 RPM and stayed there. It wouldn't back down. I couldn't get the car out of park. After several minutes, I turned the car off, waited a while, turned it back on and it was like nothing happened. Check engine light is on. This same thing happened the following afternoon after having let the car warm up and after having accelerated to 45mph with no issue. I pulled over and put the car in neutral that time. Car has been maintained well, not sure what's going on.

To "echo" this complaint: upon approaching a red light, I began slowing down and immediately the car started sputtering and once at a complete stop, the car rapidly vibrated for 5 seconds and then completely shut down. I waited a few seconds to try and restart and was able to make it home. This issue has been going on in different severities over the course of the past 7 months, dating back to october 2013. At other times the vehicle will begin decelerating while my foot is on the accelerator. The car will be unresponsive to any attempts to pick up speed for 3-5 seconds then all of sudden kick into gear and drive like normal. This happens at highway speeds and residential neighbor speeds just the same. There's no check engine light. The "almost" identical issue happened to me today (09/15/2014). I was on my way to work when the 2010 aveo lost all engine power. I made it to a gas station (the car is still there) and called my wife to come get me. Thank god we just purchased a nissan sentra just 2 days earlier!!!!!!!!

This happens at highway speeds and residential neighbor speeds just the same. I've had the fuel system cleaned, taken to 2 chevy dealerships in different cities and neither was able to come up with a reason as to why the car does this. The most recent trip came after the car died while at the red light. There's no check engine light, codes showing up on the scanner, and no problem with the fuel pump according to the dealers.

Consumer writes in regards to a faulty radiator and unsatisfactory customer service at dealership. *smd the consumer stated in september 2013, he started experiencing problems with the cooling system, where the temperature gauge would start to climb above the halfway point.

I was driving on the highway when the engine light came on. The vehicle ran for a few minutes before it started losing power and chugging along on the highway. When I pulled off, I had to flutter on the gas to keep the car from stalling at the stop sign. To make it home on the back roads, I did not stop at stop signs for fear of the car stalling, I had the gas pedal to the floor and it was only going approximately 10 MPH. I did not drive it to the dealership, it was towed. They found several engine control module updates. Reflashed ECM code s47490d. Performed campaign 11290 spark plugs and boot. While at dealership, tech found rear shocks were leaking. E5807 - rear shock absorbers replaced, both sides.

2009 aveo, started april 2010, at a traffic light, the car began to shake. The tach needle was jumping between 500 and 1500. It was acting like it was about to die than tach jumped up. I heard the engine surge. Light changed and car barely moved. I pressed gas pedal to floor but car would lunge forward than act to stall. I put injector cleaner in next fuel tank. Thought it was fixed. 3-weeks later as I was crossing a four lane road, car act as I described above, tach needle bounce between 500 and 1500, car sputtered and surged. Took car to gm dealer, their computer found no problems or codes. No engine light, no code, cleaner mass air flow sensor, got gas at different station. July 2010 took car to dealer again. Still no codes, found no problems. I thought problem might have to do with high humidity, since that was the only commonality I could find with each incident. The problem occurs every couple of weeks, I have gone through a complete tank of gas with no problem. It occurs at different time s of day, different outside temperatures, and weather getting cold it does it. Took car to dealer october. They said possible the 10% ethanol gas maybe problem, so use premium gas. After three premium gas fills. Temperature below freezing car sputtered and surged than stalled. Rolled to stop, turned key off, than started car up and drove home with no problems. Three days later, another below freezing temp, car began slowing down at 40mph than surged. When the car was slowing down the tach was dropping off than jumped back up with the surge. As of today the car has 11158 miles for less than two years old.
