AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 20MPH WHILE TURNING AND HAS NEVER WENT OFF (STARTED AROUND 125,000MILES). I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC, HE CHECKED WIRES AND HOOKED IT UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND BELIEVES IT IS EITHER THE MODULE OR THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT, BUT CAN'T/WON'T GIVE AN EXACT CAUSE. WHEN I TRIED TO CONTACT GM THEY KEPT SAYING I WAS JUST GOING OFF WHAT THE INTERNET SAID AND NEEDED TO SEE A DEALER. JUST MADE IT FEEL LIKE THAT DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MY SAFETY OR THE SAFETY OF ANY ONE IN ONE OF THESE VEHICLES. *TR

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG" LIGHT ON THE DASH STAYS ON AND WON'T GO OFF.ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AND I HAD THE CODE CHECKED AND THEY SAID IS IS SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL.I HAVE HEARD OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND IT MIGHT NOT BE DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT.WHY DOES GENERAL MOTOR HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE GET KILLED IN THEIR CARS AND HAVE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED BEFORE THEY DO THE RIGHT THING?WHY DON'T THEY RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL, AIR BAGS AND OTHER MANUFACTURING DEFECTS? MY CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 21,000 MILES ON IT.CHEVROLET SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO SELL LEMONS AND SHOW TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS LIVES.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. I SUFFERED FROM A CONCUSSION, A HAIRLINE NASAL FRACTURE, AND I STILL HAVE ISSUES WITH MY NECK AND BACK TO THIS DAY. AS I HAVE NOTICED IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM NOT ONLY WITH GM VEHICLES BUT AVEO'S AS WELL. WHEN IS A RECALL GOING TO BE ISSUED?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY CHEVY AVEO HAS HAD EL CERVICAL ISSUES FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR ON LIGHTING BUT MY VIN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL AND I AM HAVING THE SAM ISSUES. AND NOW NOTHING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY CAR IS WORKING. BLINKERS, BRAKE LIGHT AND MORE. MY LIGHT FOR MY RADIO DO NOT WORK AS WELL. I HAVE 2 KIDS AND MY CAR IS NOT SAFE WITH THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES GOING ON WITH IT. I HAVE CALLED THE CHEVROLET GARAGE WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND ALL I AM BEING TOLD IS THERE ANYTHING S NOTHING THEY CAN DO CAUSE MY VIN IS NOT LISTED WITH THE RECALLS. I NEED MY CAR FIXED ESPECIALLY WITH IT HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS THE RECALLED 2007 AVEOS.

AIR BAGS
MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 3 MONTHS AND KNOW ONCE IT'S ON WON'T WORK IF AND WHEN I NEED IT. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD BE ADDRESSING AS IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER RELATED ISSUE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE DOWN TO MY LOCAL AUBURN CHEVEROLET AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE CLOCK ON MY DASHBOARD WHICH WORKS PERFECTLY FINE IN ORDER TO FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT AND SHOULD BE A BIG RED FLAG. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GM ADDRESS THESE ISSUES INSTEAD OF SWEEPING IT UNDER THEIR PROVERBIAL RUG. THEY ARE PUTTING CUSTOMERS AT GREAT RISK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BEEN SMELLING SOMETHING THAT SIMILAR TO PLASTIC BUT COULD NOT LOCATE ANYTHING BUT NOW I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FUSES BLOWN FOR LOW BEAMS AND DRL. ULTIMATELY ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS HAVE NOW GONE OUT ALONG WITH NO TAIL LIGHTS OR LOW BEAMS OR DRLS AT ALL AND NO HORN. DEALER IS SAYING THAT THE FUSE BLOCK IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT THE CAR ONLY HAS 83,000 AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OUT THERE FOR THE DRL MODULE MELTING OR CATCHING ON FIRE BUT LOW AND BEHOLD MY CAR IS NOT ON THAT RECALL BUT LOOKS TO ME THAT IT SHOULD BE. IN ADDITION TO THE LIGHTS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK AND THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I DID ALSO THINK IT ODD THAT MY KEY WOULD BE HOT TO TOUCH WHEN IT WOULD RELEASE ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS LEADING UP TO THIS FAILURE. THE FIRST INSTANCE WHEN THE FAILURE INITIALLY STARTED WITH THE LIGHTS AND ALL THAT I COULD NOTICE WAS WHILE I WAS IN A PARKING LOT CRANKING THE CAR, BUT THE SECOND TIME AFTER CHANGING OUT THE FUSE, THE FUSE BLEW AGAIN AFTER I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD IN 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC.
