Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, there is a slight delay when I press the accelerator, and I think my fuel efficiency has dropped a bit too. Could it be the accelerator pedal module?

Given the additional information, it is possible that the accelerator pedal module or the electronics inside are defective, leading to the issues you are experiencing. Due to the complexity involved, I recommend taking your Chevrolet Move to a trusted workshop for diagnostics.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I took it to the workshop as you suggested. Turns out the throttle valve was indeed defective. They replaced it, and the total repair cost was 265€. Everything is running smoothly now.

The symptoms you describe could indicate a problem with the throttle valve. Has there been any noticeable delay in response when you press the accelerator, or any change in fuel efficiency? A defective throttle sensor or an issue with the air intake could also be contributing factors.
