My 2009 chevy aveo has been nothing but trouble! The problem started with 89,000 miles. In idle, after about 2 minutes, the car would shake violently. I began to drive normally with no problem then the car surges, looses power, then stalled in traffic. After about 3 minutes of sitting, the car suddenly started then after about 4 blocks, lost power again. The car kept dying & restarting. Finally got home. Turned the car back on , the idle was going up & down, shaking violently while idling in park. The throttle body was changed, o2 sensor changed, mass air sensor changed. Air filter clean. This car is terrible. I will never trust & buy a chevy again!!!!! Shame on you chevy.! Get your quality control in check. I want people to know to stay clear of chevy cars!!!!!

Somewhere in between the 81,100 - 81,300 miles mark my vehicle has received the check engine light p2135 code, for throttle/pedal sensor/switch a / b voltage correlation. At the time of receiving the code I did not notice anything irregular until I researched the problem. One of the symptoms being, revving of the engine when gas pedal is not pressed. That's when I realized my car had been doing that just recently on start up before receiving the code. Finally after about a month, driving very minimally maybe 10 shorts trips or less, the car stalled out after approximately 0.1 miles of below 15mph driving. I got out and checked under the hood and I didnt see anything wrong so I began to push the car back home. After I realized it would take some maneuvering I decided to try starting the car backup and it did so I quickly turned it around and drove it back home. Stalling of the engine is also a symptom of the p2135 code. Since than out of necessity I've driven the car twice for 13 mile trips without stalling out but the check engine light has not gone away. The engine still revs on its on start up until finally settling into consistency. After trying to figure out what exactly needs replacing online, it appears evident to me that a large amount chevy aveos no matter the year or specific model, encounter this problem. It's just a matter of how many owners talked about the problem online and reported it. Those who have taken it online fixed the problem by cleaning the throttle body, which only lasted for so long and could result in damage or getting a whole new throttle body assembly with a new throttle position sensor attached.

I have owned this car for less than a year and it has shut down while driving 4 times already. I have taken it to the dealer for repair they say they can not find anything wrong that they would have to be driving it when it shuts down. So this is how it happens I am on the highway driving and out of nowhere my entire car just shuts down and I am trying to coast to safety. Imagine that not being a safety issue and that this car has not been recalled yet. Recently I have been speaking with another person who owns the same exact car and he told me that his car has shut down just like that on several occasions. So if this is happening to me and another random person that I am speaking with I am wondering why this car is not being recalled. I am afraid that I am going to die in that car how safe can driving on a highway and have your car suddently shut down with cars flying past you at 70 or 80 miles an hours be. Please look into this I believe that there should be a recall on this car. I see below that you are asking for specific dates that this has happened I do not know those exact dates so I will pick a date.

Less than 30,000 miles. Persistent problem (since 2012): engine shuts off by itself. No warning lights on dashboard before each occurrence. Car has been taken to the dealer multiple times. On 08/17/2016 around 11:45 a.m. Car shut off by itself while driving on the middle of a multi-lane (6+) highway. I was able to roll down the automatic window (it worked ) on the driver side, I pressed the warning light (it worked). After multiple attempts car started, and I drove away. The car worked well for a while, took side roads(35mph speed limit). Car shut off by itself a second time. I was able to restarted and made it to a safe location. I have reported this last situation to chevrolet and they told me to go to a different dealer, and only after pressuring they provided a 100.00 dollar coupon to get the car checked. Chevrolet claims they had no information on my car's record of shutting down by itself, that they dealer only reports the repairs. However, one of the dealer invoices from 2012 reads: "vehicle stalled", " another invoice reads "car died once", etc. And on the notes it includes "unable to replicate clients concerns". Just because the dealer cannot replicate the failure, it does not mean the car is safe to drive. The car is not safe. The car shut down on us and we were left in the middle of a multi-lane highway with cars going 65+MPH. The sudden complete shut off of the car in the middle of any road is a great danger not only to the occupants of the car but to other drivers as well. Other problems: clock/time gets restarted each time I start the car (and it is never right). In multiple occasions, during the morning, the car would not start (but radio and windows work), the car would take several minutes to get started.

My daughter was driving on the highway and streets the car will loose speed while your driving and stall as if it's not getting fuel. She was on the expressway and lucky she was in the right lane and was able to coast to the shoulder before the car died out. I had this problem check several times and replaced the fuel pump and fuel sensor and still am having the problem. I have an appointment with the dealer for a diagnostic test on 10-1-2015
