AIR BAGS
IN OCTOBER 2016 MY 2006 CHEVROLET AVEO LS HATCHBACK'S BATTERY DIED, UNABLE TO JUMPSTART ANYMORE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH HAS ILLUMINATED SOLID SINCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE GM DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TOO WASN'T ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE VEHICLE HAD 130,000 MILES AT THE TIME THE BATTERY DIED AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I NOW DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE WITH ME BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL MALFUNCTION.

POWER TRAIN
AT 60K MILES THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. VEHICLE RUNS FINE BUT NOT HAVING A SPEEDOMETER IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IN OPERATED BY A PLASTIC GEAR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION COST ME 1600 DOLLARS AND THE 9 MONTHS LATER THAT GEAR LET GO ALSO. AGAIN I HAD TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKING. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

ENGINE
MY COOLANT RESERVOIR HAS BEEN EMPTIED SUDDENLY ON 4 OCCASIONS. ONE ONE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS, MY CAR OVERHEATED, AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE NO COOLANT. AFTER FILLING IT, LETTING THE CAR COOL, AND DRIVING 10 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD, IT HAD OVERHEATED AND WAS EMPTY AGAIN. THAT TIME, AND ONCE BEFORE, IT WAS THE HOSE. ANOTHER TIME, THE CAP WAS DAMAGED, AND WAS ALLOWING COOLANT TO EVAPORATE. THE MOST RECENT TIME, THERE IS A CRACK IN THE RESERVOIR, ALLOWING THE COOLANT TO LEAK. HOWEVER, MY OVERHEATING WARNING DID NOT COME ON. MY HEAT HAS ALSO NOT BEEN WORKING, EVEN IF I WARM MY CAR UP AHEAD OF TIME IN THE COLD WEATHER.
