2009 Aveo Bucking/Jerking/Losing Power

[Chevy Customer Svc]

I have a 2009 chevy aveo LT 4 dr. It just hit 45000 miles, I was driving to work yesterday and i noticed a skipping or sputtering in the engine, my check engine light flashed on and off for a few seconds and then went off car drove fine rest of day. The next day did the same thing check engine light flashing on and off along with the hold light. It went off again and car drove normally. On my way home to day the check engine light came on and has not gone back off. The car seems to have no get up and go and feels like the engine is skipping or missing. I did receive the voluntary recall on the spark blug boots and spark plugs. I have set an appointment to take it in to the chevy dealership this tuesday. I am hoping this will fix my problem. I will let you know. But the recall sheet does say it will install new spark plug boots and spark plugs.

Hi Tim,

Hopefully the dealer will be able to diagnose what's going on and get it figured out. If you would like for me to research and follow your case, please private message me the last 8-digits of your VIN and your full name. I look forward to your reply. Keep me posted on what you find out at the dealership.

Hi AveoJoe,

Glad to hear you've enjoyed your Aveo since owning it. Have you been able to resolve the clock issue or is still malfunctioning?

I just got my car serviced last tuesday sept 25. The dealership changed the plugs and the plug boot as stated in the recall I received, car has been running great no more issues as of right now. Took them about 1 1/2 hours to change them out. I was extremely satisfied with the service at the dealership I went to.
