I've had the reduced power problem happen four times one. Twice last month. Had the car in to the garage twice and they couldn't find the problem. They cleaned the lines and checked the wiring. They also kept it overnight, drove it around trying to replicate the problem - no luck. The car was running fine for about a month when it happened again yesterday and today. I have no idea how to proceed with this problem. I think a recall would be prudent to get to the bottom of this problem. There are complains on several different forums citing this exact problem. Chevrolet - get on this!

Seem to have a reacurring problem. First time, I heard a pop, the check engine light came on, along with a message that flashed across the screen. I turned the car off and let it sit for a few minutes, started it again & the check engine light was still on but it seemed to be running ok. Took to the dealer the next day & they diagnosed throttle body. I'm now on my third check engine light. Not very happy with the dealer or Chevy at this point. If I could afford to buy a new car, I'd trade this in without hesitation.

I will be trading this piece of sh*t!! And will never buy another Chevrolet!! You have a recall on the throttle body for 2009 & 2011.. But I guess 2010 just magically fixed itself!! I have water in my car on drivers side after it rains.. 2 cup holders but can only put one cup in it because the handle on the middle storage compartment covers the 2nd one.. Had two Chevy Venture vans before this both of them were pieces of sh*t too, couldn't keep tail lights in them plus electrical problems!

I'm done with anything Chevy has anything to do with!! Shameful to be called American made!!
