CAR SHUTOFF WHILE DRIVING

Incident Apr 4, 2012

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, HAS BEEN ON WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER, SAID PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FUSE WAS BAD, NEEDED REPLACED. NOTED THAT THE PASSENGER ON/OFF WILL AT RANDOM TURN ON OR OFF OR NOT EVEN SHOW AT TIMES, I HAVE ALSO NOTED THE SEAT MAKING SOME SORT OF NOISE WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON.

Incident Feb 23, 2019

SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THE 81,100 - 81,300 MILES MARK MY VEHICLE HAS RECEIVED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT P2135 CODE, FOR THROTTLE/PEDAL SENSOR/SWITCH A / B VOLTAGE CORRELATION. AT THE TIME OF RECEIVING THE CODE I DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING IRREGULAR UNTIL I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM. ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS BEING, REVVING OF THE ENGINE WHEN GAS PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED. THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED MY CAR HAD BEEN DOING THAT JUST RECENTLY ON START UP BEFORE RECEIVING THE CODE. FINALLY AFTER ABOUT A MONTH, DRIVING VERY MINIMALLY MAYBE 10 SHORTS TRIPS OR LESS, THE CAR STALLED OUT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 0.1 MILES OF BELOW 15MPH DRIVING. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND I DIDNT SEE ANYTHING WRONG SO I BEGAN TO PUSH THE CAR BACK HOME. AFTER I REALIZED IT WOULD TAKE SOME MANEUVERING I DECIDED TO TRY STARTING THE CAR BACKUP AND IT DID SO I QUICKLY TURNED IT AROUND AND DROVE IT BACK HOME. STALLING OF THE ENGINE IS ALSO A SYMPTOM OF THE P2135 CODE. SINCE THAN OUT OF NECESSITY I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR TWICE FOR 13 MILE TRIPS WITHOUT STALLING OUT BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT GONE AWAY. THE ENGINE STILL REVS ON ITS ON START UP UNTIL FINALLY SETTLING INTO CONSISTENCY. AFTER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EXACTLY NEEDS REPLACING ONLINE, IT APPEARS EVIDENT TO ME THAT A LARGE AMOUNT CHEVY AVEOS NO MATTER THE YEAR OR SPECIFIC MODEL, ENCOUNTER THIS PROBLEM. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF HOW MANY OWNERS TALKED ABOUT THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND REPORTED IT. THOSE WHO HAVE TAKEN IT ONLINE FIXED THE PROBLEM BY CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH ONLY LASTED FOR SO LONG AND COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE OR GETTING A WHOLE NEW THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ATTACHED.
