Engine and hold lights flashing

[sammy2012]

OMG....I have a 2008 Aveo,auto.. My engine light has been on for 1 1/2 years... My dealership replaced the sensor about a year ago. I faithfully take my aveo in every three months for a oil change..After senor was replaced the light went out for about 2 months.. Then back on... Very fustrating. Then about 4 months ago, went in for a timing belt replacement(2nd one @ 112,000 miles) and oil change, and when I got into my car to drive away....WOW not only was my engine light on, but my hold light too...The only thing they changed differently was the interior air filter. I went over the edge.. They told me to drive it home and come back and leave the car the next day.. Which I did. I DID notice that my car had problems with sticky gears.. Well they changed my GAS petal...HUMMMM.. Both lights went off...Then a month ago, I am driving on highway, 83 miles to work.. My car lost excelleration.. Thank-goodnes, I drove it to a nearby dealership, barely limped into the garage.. Left car.. picked up after work, Needed new Throdal body ...Then car ran another month..Now engine light back on.. Noticed my GAS CAP is not closing tightly, and there is a sensor there tooo.. This is my next replacement. Last week, replaced all brake pads, back disc brakes (1st time in 119,000 miles.. Front pads..waranteed Midas.. struts too.. New tires...Cars are expensive, but just paid it off, and I need to drive it another 100,000 miles... use regular gas.. Drive highway miles to work.. Keep at 60 mph.. great mileage.. REALLY drops down if I lean on 70mph... Love my Aveo 5 door....
