general problems of the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo

You can't drive it anywhere it runs right then for no reason it loose power and won't accalrate while driving it will drop below 10 mph in traffic or lose all power while crossing road or turning I'm afeead I'll b hit in side or ran over in traffic.

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 NHTSA 10034366.

I was driving up hwy 31 in columbus and my car was like it wasn't getting gas. The engine continued to run. I pushed the accelerator to the floor and it made a connection again in approximately 1 minute. This happened twice and I took it to poynter Chevrolet in seymour. Nothing showed up on the computer and they kept my car 3 days and could not get it to duplicate the problem. My car was only doing this once a week, now it is doing it most of the time. You have no warning that it is going to slow up, only moving from the momentum of the previous speed. I looked on the computer at "problems with chevy Aveos" and there are several people on the internet with the same problem. I called Chevrolet and they said they only do recalls from calls from mechanics who have fixed the same problem several times. How can I get this fixed if they don't know what is causing the problem? this could cause a fatal accident several ways so I'm afraid to drive the car. If I am on the highway going 70 mph and the car decides to just quit, I could get hit. If I'm making a left hand turn and there is on coming traffic I could get hit. I have a 2009 chevy Aveo and I am afraid to drive it. Please look at the internet at all the other owners having the same problem.
