AIR BAGS
ON/ABOUT 07-24-2015 THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE CAR TO AUTHORIZED CHEVY MECHANIC TO DETERMINE PROBLEM. MODERN CHEVROLET MECHANIC DIAGNOSED TWO DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SENSORS IN PASSENGER AIRBAG. COST TO REPLACE THE SENSORS $1697.48. CONTACTED GM/CHEVY AND WAS INFORMED BY GM/CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT NO ONE WOULD AUTHORIZE REPAIR BECAUSE NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED BY CHEVY. THE NHTSA'S DATABASE HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN # SB-12-09-41-001 STATING THAT GM LLC HAD NOTIFIED IT OF "COUNTERFEIT VEHICLE AIRBAG MODULES FOR CHEVY AVEO MODELS 2011-2015! THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY VIOLATION! I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY TO REPLACE THESE 2 AIRBAG MODULES. CHEVROLET/GM NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2011-2015 CHEVROLET AVEO'S AND REPLACE BOTH PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULES.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND STREETS THE CAR WILL LOOSE SPEED WHILE YOUR DRIVING AND STALL AS IF IT'S NOT GETTING FUEL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BASICALLY I AM WRITING BECAUSE GM ISSUED A RECALL IN JUNE 2014 LETTING ME KNOW THAT MY CAR HAS AN ISSUE WHICH MAY LEAD TO A FIRE IN MY CAR. THE PROBLEM IS THAT A YEAR HAS PASSED AND THE STATUS OF THAT RECALL STILL IS "GENERAL MOTORS WILL PROVIDE ITS PLAN FOR REMEDYING THE DEFECT AS SOON AS IT IS CONFIRMED." I HONESTLY FEEL THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT IT. I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD BE AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD TAKE SUCH A LONG TIME TO GET FIXED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I WENT OUT TO START THE VEHICLE I HAD NO DASH BOARD LIGHTS. EVERY OTHER LIGHT SYSTEM WORKED BUT I COULD NOT SEE THE SPEEDOMETER OR THE TACHOMETER. ALL THE FUSES WERE INTACT. I THEN BOUGHT NEW BULBS FOR THE ENTIRE GAGE CLUSTER AND THEY STILL ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. I HAVE LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM ON MULTIPLE FORUMS AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITHOUT A SOLUTION OTHER THAN "RIGGING" THIS SYSTEM! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE PRACTICE TO ALLOW THIS TO GO ON WITHOUT SOME SORT OF RECALL OR REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD LAMP IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE WIRE LIGHTING HARNESS KEPT SHORTING OUT, I HAD IT REPAIRED AT A SHOP. IT LATER MELTED AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I TRIED TO ORDER ANOTHER ON, BUT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY SELLS THE WHOLE KIT NOT JUST THE LIGHT BULB ITSELF. I AM HAVING TO PAY OVER $300 FOR A NEW KIT WHEN ALL I NEEDED WAS A BULB AND THE HARNESS. THIS IS INSANE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHERE MY CAR BATTERY WOULD DRAIN, AND LOSE POWER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
SINCE I GOT MY AVEO5 LS IN 2013. I HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS SINCE THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THINKING MY AIR BAGS DON'T WORK AT ALL. THE CLOCK DOESN'T KEEP SET. THE FLEX TUBE NEEDS BE REPLACED EVERY MONTH. MY HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS NEED TO REPLACE TWO TIMES A MONTH OR MORE. THEN TO FIND OUT I ALMOST HAD A FIRE WITH MY HEADLIGHT PLUG IS MELTED CRISPY BLACK, NOW MY HEADLIGHT DON'T WORK AS WELL. THE MODULE BEHIND PASSENGER SIDE BACK ALWAYS NEED TO REPLACE ESPECIALLY IN WINTER. I HAD MY CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND MY PAINT HAS BEEN COMING OFF DUE TO FACTORY PAINT PROBLEM. NOW I CAN NOT KEEP ENGINE LIGHT OFF SINCE I GOT MY CAR, I THINK I PUT MORE MONEY IN BUYING PARTS THEN I PAID FOR THE CAR. GM DID A VERY POOR DESIGN FOR THIS MODEL
