1 Alleged Counterfeit Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/24/2015

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.
