“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10679536, filed 2015-01, 64,242 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10731829, filed 2015-07, 102,000 miles“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!! -js”
