The consumer stated she experienced multiple mechanical and electrical problems with the vehicle. It was not disclosed to her, that the vehicle had frame damage, it was a fleet vehicle, and the air bags were replaced with used ones. While driving 45 mph, a bolt in the broke, which caused the engine to collapse and landed on the axle, breaking it on the driver's side. Also, she had the axle replaced previously, not knowing there was a problem with the frame. Due to the frame damage and warped undercarriage, a bolt connected to the frame that was connected to the motor mount hidden under the engine had previously bent and severed 3/4 of the way through the bolt. It went un-detected and her mechanic didn't know what to look for, since the frame was not disclosed.

I have a 2006 Chevrolet Aveo. The airbag readiness light stays on after automobile is started. The owners manual says not to drive this vehicle. Airbags may not inflate in a crash or may inflate without a crash. This is the second time this has happened. The first was in January 2008. Was covered under warranty. This time it is not. I don't think I should be responsible for the cost of this repair. It is a safety feature and is not something I can repair myself. Why should I be responsible for their defect?.
