1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2016

Takata recall my 2007 chevy Aveo on 9/ 10 2016 wen I started it up the passenger side air bag light saying that the airbag is off! has just come on and will not go off! it is on every time I start the car and wile driving it with or with out a passenger in it. This from what I have read on line means the air bag is bad and will not deploy or will deploy for no reason there needs to be a recall I have read many post from others with this same problem in the 2007 chevy Aveo please recall this car before someone is killed!!!.

2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2016

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.

5 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2015

On 7/6/2015 my airbag light came on. When I took it to the dealer to have it diagnosed, they said it was due to a faulty occupant restraint control module which would cost almost $900 to get fixed. I was told by the dealership if I got into an accident, my airbags will not deploy due to this failure. I am shocked this major safety issue is not covered by gm and has not been recalled. My vehicle will not pass inspection without this part.

8 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2012

I purchased a used 2007 chevy Aveo hatchback for my daughter's first car. Since getting it, the air bag lights would sometimes stay on and then go off from time to time. Recently the main air bag light stayed on constant. Then the passenger air bag light came on too saying that air bag was off. Needless to say, it is not a safe car to drive if the air bags will not deploy in an accident. Getting it fixed will cost about $700 to change sensors and "other stuff". Upon researching about Aveo's and their air bag issues, I'm happy to say that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. Sadly there are hundreds if not thousands of the exact same problems from owners of Aveo's found all over the internet. All these owners are doing what I am doing, paying out of pocket to fix a known and documented problem by the manufacturer. These cars are not the best cars to begin with, but our daughter and her passenger's safety is worth the $700. Now if only Chevrolet felt the same about our daughter and every other owner of an Aveo and man up and fix the issue. Besides, don't tax payers technically own this company anyway because of the bailout????????????? someone demand a recall on Aveo's and their air bag issues please!!!!!!!!!!.

9 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 06/04/2012

I purchased this chevy Aveo lt in 2009, in 2012 the air bag light in the dash board came on and will not go off, the chevy dealer is trying to charge me to fix it and there is all kinds of people talking about this problem and my mechanic told me with the air bag light on the air bags will not deploy if I were to get in a accident, I called chevy and they are trying to charge me just to look at it car, with all the bad reviews on the 2007 chevy Aveo I would think chevy would stand behind there cars and fix the issues with this air bag light staying on all the time, something needs to be done about this. . .

10 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 10/04/2008

I bought my Aveo new. At only 6,000 miles the master cylinder failed and 5,000 miles later the brake booster failed and I crashed--the air bags did not deploy. Gm would fixed the brake booster but not the damage to my car! at 13,000 miles the brake drums needed to be re-surfaced, the brake rotors needed to be cut, and I had to get new brake pads--again gm would not fix it and made me pay for it. At 16,000 miles the air bag sensor for the passenger failed. At 18,000 miles the gas gauge failed and the shifter got stuck in park, and the cruise control would work on and off. At 20,000 miles the all four tires needed to be replaced. Around this time, gas mileage dipped to about 19-21mpg, but gm couldn't figure out why. At 30,000 miles I had to get new rotors and brake pads--again I had to pay for it even though they are wearing out prematurely. At 35,000 miles the transmission started to shift hard so gm recommended I change the transmission fluid at a cost $450 because the fluid has a special additive that is shipped from korea! at 44,000 miles the engine died--more like blew up. Gm said that it is my fault for letting it run too hot, though I had no warning from any gauges, lights, ect. . . Again I had to fix it even though I had the 100,000 mile warranty. At 48,000 miles the a/c needed to be overhauled--I had to pay for it. At 52,000 miles I hit a deer and again the air bags did not deploy. The insurance company junked it. Absolutely without a doubt in my mind the worst car I have ever owned. Gm should be sued for this car. They do not honor the warranty at all. The service departments treated me with disrespect. A couple of dealers refused to even accept my car for repair. The car is very scary to drive and not safe at all. With all the money I spent fixing the car plus my car payment each month, I could have easily purchased a BMW instead. Gm is absolutely the worst folks to deal with. Never again will I buy or support anything from gm.
