general problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Aveo

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Aveo. The contact stated that the vehicle started losing motive power and decelerated however, the vehicle did not stall. The contact pulled over and waited for the vehicle to regain full power. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic however, the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither a dealer nor the manufacturer were made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.

I was driving on the highway on my way home from 3 hours away, and I was about an hour and 30 min from home. I stopped at mcdonald s to feed the 3 kids, I was there for 35 min with the car off. Not even 10 min later, back on the highway, the car sort of spit and/or sputtered. I thought maybe I had gotten some bad gas because it only did it about 3 times and it was ok, there were no lights on indicating anything was wrong. Just a couple minutes later it did it spit and/or sputtered 2 more times, still no light indicators had come on and I looked down at the gauges I had 6/8ths tank of gas, almost full. The engine temp was reading hot though, but no lights were on, suddenly we were going up a slight incline but the car would not go faster, in-fact it was actually slowing down and it would no longer switch to a higher gear. As soon as the highway leveled off, I put the car in neutral to give the engine a brake until we reached the next gas station, but as soon as it hit neutral the car shut off and was coasting. I had to pull over as quick as I could. When someone finally stopped to help, we found a tiny hole in a hose, we cut the hose, readjusted it but it still wouldn't start, after 3 jumps it still wouldn't start. We were stranded for over 4 hours, and the battery finally completely died out as our ride had just gotten there. There was absolutely no warning for the break down, not even a check engine light had came on. Because of this me 3 kids all 5 years old and under, and my aunt who is deathly afraid of semi's were stranded on the side of a highway for over 4 hours!.

Check engine light was on in morning when car was turned on, while going to work 20mph uphill my car started acting like I stopped pressing on the throttle pedal. I came to a stop on the hill placed car in park and restarted up hill. Car was noticeably trying to work 2x as hard. After work car was taken to a auto service center. The auto shop gave me these codes after the reading was completed; p2106, p2110, p2135, p2101.

The car continually stalls and I will have to stop and restart it or it will continually surge even when gas it not pushed. I have been reading online forums on this car and over and over and over again people are reporting the same exact thing!! why is no one looking into this!! the 07 was recalled for a fuel line issue I think whatever they did to fix it caused more problems. Please please follow up on this it is not right!! just google the 08 Aveo and will see all the complaints people are saying about this car!! ## VIN failed ## 2008 chevy Aveo ##.
