I have the EXACT same problem that Chandler Robertson reported. I spent $1500 last fall – bull… didn’t fix it but the car will run fine for a while and sudden lose power, lurch. I have been able to document that when this happens , afterwards, the clock will have gone nuts… for no reason spinning forward or backwards. If I drive somewhere with no incident of intermittent power loss, the clock keeps good time. My car is an Aveo 2009 with only 37,000 miles, bought new. WORST PIECE OF JUNK EVER!! The battery light was coming on last fall… had batter checked it was supposedly fine… then the car was lurching and losing power non-stop… took it back and theylooked at battery and – get this – found it “weirdly swollen”. They replaced the battery and did a bunch of other bull… still having power but I did find out that when I used my OnStar phone, that seemed to trigger an episode. I had the OnStar system cut off (remotely , not sure it is really totally off but phone is s) and thought that had solved the problem. it is better but happened again today-- dangerous. Yet no one can find what’s wrong! I am fed up with GM, even contacted national folks they claim they know NOTHING of this type of problem/complain. BALONEY. Just GOOGLE IT!!! many, many people have this weird problem . electrical/computer system checks out. I think it is a computer glitch somehow.
