2009 Chevrolet Aveo Powertrain & Transmission Problems

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.

THE CAR JUST LOSE ACCELERATION AND WON'T RESPOND TO THE PRESSING OF ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE SLOW AND SHAKY. IT WOULD PICKUP SOMETIMES AFTER FLOORING THE ACCELERATOR COUPLE OF TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE ALSO CAME UP AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. *TR

I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 6/7 MONTHS BEFORE I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. FIRST THE PASSENGER DOOR STOPPED OPENING AND THEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT WITHIN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ONE DAY AND THE CAR STARTED DECELLERATING UNTIL IT JUST STOPPED. AT FIRST THIS WAS AN OFF AN ON ISSUE BUT NOW IT WONT START AT ALL. I REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUGS, JUST TO FIND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL I WASNT AWARE OF, BUT THE CAR STILL WONT MOVE AND THE BATTERY IS DEAD NOW. *TR

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. *TR

JUST PUT IT IN DRIVE GIVE IT GAS WONT GO OVER 20 MPH, PUT IN NUTREAL IT REVES UP RPMS GO UP AND SOUNDS GOOD PUT BACK IN DRIVE BACK TO 20 MPH EVEN WHEN GIVING IT GAS NO RPMS NO GO JUST 20 MPH WONT GO ANY FASTER. WHAT IS GOING ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM... *TR

I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH WEARING OUT, AT THIS LOW OF A MILEAGE I ASSUMED THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH PAPE CHEVROLET IN SOUTH PORTLAND MAINE, AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. AS I WAS DRIVING IT THERE TO DROP IT OFF, THE CLUTCH GAVE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND MADE A LOUD CRACKING OR DROPPING NOISE. I WASN'T ABLE TO DRIVE IT THEREAFTER, AND HAD TO USE AAA TO TOW IT TO PAPE. TODAY I GO THERE AND THEY SAY THAT THE CLUTCH IS A WEAR ITEM AND ISN'T COVERED, THEY ALSO STATE THAT THE CASE WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING FLUID. I ASKED FOR A WHAT WAS COVERED ON THE WARRANTY AND THEY BECAME VERY DEFENSIVE AND SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T PROVIDE ME WITH THAT AND TO JUST LOOK AT MY MANUAL, THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULDN'T WORK ON THE CAR AND TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO NOW IT SITS AT THEIR LOT. *TR

THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER NO LONGER WORK ON MY 2009 CHEVY AVEO. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THESE ARE THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFT LEVER LOCATED ON THE CONSOLE BETWEEN THE SEATS. *TR

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 5 MPH TO A STOP. AS HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO HESITANT TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NINE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND DRIVE AS IF THE CONTACT HAD SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS HESITANT FOR A MOMENT BEFORE ENGAGING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR SPORADICALLY AT VARIOUS SPEED AND ROAD CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE FOUR TIMES YET THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED TO REPORT THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN OUR NEW 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO. IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER JUMPED OR WAS SLIGHTLY BUMPED (ALTHOUGH I DON'T RECALL BUMPING IT) FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL AT 65 MPH. FORTUNATELY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO SHOULDER TO RETURN TO DRIVE POSITION (DIDN'T KNOW IF GOING FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE AT HIGH SPEED WOULD HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE). REPORTED PROBLEM TO AUTO DEALER WHO SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS NORMAL, DOES SAME THING ON COBALT MODEL! NOTE: WE CAN PUSH SHIFTER FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL AT ANY SPEED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER. HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONE TIME SO FAR. *TR
