The dealer just replaced the engine 2 months ago due to the timing belt breaking--only 50,000 miles so they did it under "warranty". The serpentine belt recently came off when I hit a big puddle in a heavy rain--I have since found out that this often happens. That was a week or two ago and now it was having problems starting yesterday, this morning it would not start at all. I gave it a boost and it started right up, Autozone gave me code P2610. Please can someone tell me what this means? Will it cost a lot of money? The old saying you get what you pay for could never be truer than when it comes to the Aveo!!!
In general terms, if all of the fuses and connectors are ok, the problem is inside the power control module (PCM). Could be a bad connection somewhere from the water problem.
I would take it back to the dealer again for a look at the warranty coverage if everything checks out with the fuses and connections.

Check the ignition and Engine relay switches located under the hood. Sometimes relays go weak with age and even a bump on the road will shut them off. If you can turn the truck on, take it to Autozone or similar store for a free DTC scan code.

I also had the same problem, But the problem lies in the switch the actual hold switch on my aveo there is a side entry way you can pop off the one on the left will give you access to the switch. what could of happen is theres is condensation in inside the switch. then when it gets cold it freezes causing the switch to malfunction. This could happen either by spilling something on the switch or using a cleaning solvent like armorall, YOU MUST BE CAREFULL WITH ANYTHING LIQUID NEAR THE HOLD SWITCH. Also the car going from warm when you drive then cold when you park it at night. My car was in warranty and remind you I came up with is the dealership had no idea what was wrong. they reseted the computer it worked for a week then was happening again. I have knoweldge in switches/wiring so i decided to check pot the switch and open it up and sure enough there was condensation took it to dealer told them to try a new switch works perfect and going on 5 months with out problems. Replacing the switch can solve pretty much every problem that is stated here i think. Also take a look at the wiring and connections for older aveos

it means you need to turn off you aircondition coz the engine has high temperature. but if your not using aircon you have a defective thermostat replace it at once.

Did you have the dealer change the belt because it broke ?
If this is the case they should know if it is an interfearance engine and if it is in fact an interference engine they should have checked the valves. If you had the belt changed just because you were scared it was going to break on you then I am sure the car ran fine when you took it in.
The explanation you gave sounds to me like they have the belt a tooth off and they need to re do it because the timing is out.
I hope this helps
