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!!!!!.

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.

The car lost power for no reason . It did not fully stall but lost power and would not respond. It would lurch forward, barely go, then recover slightly. This happened sporadically and was frightening and dangerous. The battery light began to go off and on. Mechanics could find nothing wrong and battery ok. In November, car lost power in traffic, almost had wreck, barely made it to shop. "strangely swollen" battery found and replaced. Computer and all systems checked. Incident happened again. Back in shop. Clutch replaced, tube replaced in engine, etc. Cost $ 1500. Car seemed to run fine but only for days. Began doing same thing again. But when I take it to mechanics, can't find anything wrong because problem comes and goes. It seemed to possibly be triggered and happened more often if I used onstar built in phone. Had it turned off and thought that somehow fixed problem but it happened again yesterday in traffic with my 93 yr old mom in car. Terrifying. . Can't get out of way if car coming in intersection. No one helps me find a solution. I contacted gm online they said they know of no such problem. Hundreds of posts online from Aveo owners with same problem. Someone is going to die if this isn't made public. . We need a recall . Help please!.
The Aveo lt was on I-85 ramp downtown atlanta trying to build speed when it stalled at an area where there is little side access. Car cooled off and was re cranked and brought to north end of atlanta for further inspections to see if the problem could be duplicated. Car rpms were noted to vary up and down and then stalled without warning at a major intersection where it was almost t-boned on peachtree industrial blvd norcross, GA where the speed limit was 55 mph. Mutiple obd codes were extracted ( a total of 6 ) . Car was further examined by ase mechanic shop that states that the vehicle ecm loses communication with sensors and other computers under these conditions. Ase mechanic states that ecm should be replaced. Gm car dealer ( rick hendrix GMC - duluth, georgia ) states that gm procedure is to apply sb pip4789c replacing front O2 sensor as a starting point to repair car using a newer O2 sensor that was made later than a certain date and to update ecm with newer software. Gm dealer states there is no need to drive the car to duplicate problem and to review using a scanning tool as the gm procedure is to be used and will be adequate. This situation is clearly dangerous. If a simple O2 sensor could suddenly could cause a known problem of this type in accordance with the gm sb then it should be covered by the 8/80k emissions warranty. If the ecm can lose communications with other essential items and cause a problem of this type that should not only be covered under the emissions but it should also be placed on recall. As an engineer with 36 years experience I am appalled. At a failure of this type. A person can be psychologically conditioned that their car is running fine and then at the next moment it completely stalls and may not allow them to clear an intersection.
So we bought this car and noticed that it would lose power, buck, jerk, and sometime die. Usually after dying it will start right back up and drive fine for a while. We took it to a repair shop that told us to replace the throttle body. After we replaced the throttle body and had the dealer program it the problem persisted. We bought a new ecu from the chevy dealer and had them install and program it and the problem persisted. We replaced the coil pack for the second time in this vehicles history with no luck, same problem. Drained the fuel tank and installed a new fuel pump. . . . . . Same problem. . . . Amidst all these part replacements the car has been to the local chevy dealer at least three times and now a fourth time they finally called me after a week and suggested that they clean the throttle body. . . . I explained that it is brand new and should not need cleaning. They still apparently have no clue what's wrong with this piece of junk that is only 4 years old! between the chevy dealer and our own time we have spent over $2000 dollars and the car still won't operate correctly.
1st time-I was driving and my car started to sputter and when I hit the gas pedal for acceleration nothing would happen,the rpm would raise and the car wouldn't accelerate. 2nd time- same as above but stalled after sputtering 3rd time-sitting at a light when the light turned green I couldn't move(pushed gas all the way to the floor with no results) 4th time-driving and it started to sputter aggressively and un able to get power and then stalled. 5th time- pulled out of parking spot and couldn't get any gas could only coast,in a half mile distance it stalled 3 time when I finally parked it and called a tow truck. **each time the car acted up I took it to the dealership and each time they tell me there is nothing wrong with it they couldn't get an error code. 5 times being in the dealership, the 3rd time they said they received a low idle code and did a decarbon costing me $53, put that didn't help. The 4th time it was at the dealers I was told to drive a long distance and open up the engine (are you kidding me) there is defiantly something wrong with this car! this could be very deadly if it happens in the wrong place.
I purchased a used 2008 chevy Aveo in June 2011. Nearly one year later I started having issues with it. June 2012 - valve cover gasket was cracked and caused smoking after an oil change. Repaired at dealership. Sept. 9, 2013 - sputtering and stalling. Was told it was due to a hold in the exhaust pipe. Replaced at dealership. Sept. 16, 2013 - still experiencing power issues. Was told I needed new spark plugs and wires. Replaced at dealership. Nov. 7, 2013 - engine light came on. Was told it was a faulty cam sensor. Replaced at dealership. Jan. 23, 2014 - engine light came on. Was told the oxygen sensor had failed. Replaced at dealership. April 20, 2014 - tpms light finally went off after being on for 3 months. Air conditioner stopped working the same day. Was told it was an electrical issue (ac clutch). During the same visit an inspection found the right front top bushing worn, left lower bushing worn, and rear cross member bushing broken. I sent a letter to Chevrolet, expressing my disappointment in the quality of the Aveo. My other chevy vehicles had been great, but this Aveo fell short. After speaking to someone in customer service, who—in response to my statement "individuals who purchase these kinds of economy cars are typically on a budget and can't afford the repairs the Aveo has needed due to its poor quality"—simply told me that it was not her fault that I couldn't afford a better car. I will never buy another chevy again.
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.

I have a 2009 Aveo5 purchased new in March 2009. In April 2011 at approx 32600 the vehicle stalled while I was driving, cel came on, and it would not start again for about 20 minutes. Onstar diagnostics reported "internal control module failure" p16f3. I had already requested a tow truck, and when it arrived, I tried starting it again. It started and was able to move it to get it on the tow truck. Cel was still on. Took it to mike wilson Chevrolet. They kept it 1 week, said there was no cel, no fault code, nothing wrong with it. Last night, January 2, 2012 at approx 48000 miles I experienced the same problem with the same fault code. Onstar, advance auto parts, and my own personal obd2 scanner all reported the same code: p16f3. I searched online and found TSB 09-06-04-005 (February 2009) describing the exact problem and resolution: ecm recalibration. This morning, cel is off, and I went to rod hatfield Chevrolet which was the dealer closest to me, and they said that despite having that exact problem while under warranty and having it repeated now, that they would not fix it under warranty. I feel it should have been discovered the first time in April 2011, since it was a known problem and the bulletin was published before I even bought the car. Because it was not fixed the first time, I feel it should be covered under warranty. I was in danger both times when my car stalled in the roadway. This could have been fixed the first time and I would not have been in danger last night. I am in process of filing a complaint with gm.
I purchased a 2009 chevy Aveo on August 3, 2010. Since August 3, 2010, I have experienced 3 incidences of the car stalling without warning while traveling uphill. The most recent incident occurred on September 3, 2010. The check engine and tire pressure lights came on. The car stalled on a hill and started rolling backwards in high traffic. Initially, I was told the car's problem involved a bulletin 4955. Now, I am being told the car requires a computer part to stop the problem. The part is trying to clear customs from canada. In the meantime, I have been in rental car since September 3, 2010. One month after the date of purchase. I do not feel safe in this car.
