1 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Chevrolet Aveo

Failure Date: 01/30/2020

I have problems with whenever I go to put gas in my car, some of it goes on the ground. Not all of the gas goes on the ground, but a little less than half of what I purchased. My headlights are so dim that I can't hardly see when I'm driving at night. Also, my passenger side air bag light is constantly on? there's one there and nothing bigamy wrong with it that I can see. The stereo. . . . . Only the driver side front speaker works, the other three doesn't work at all. . . . Please look into these few things or give me some sort of idea of what I can do.

4 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2006 Chevrolet Aveo

Failure Date: 08/05/2017

My 06 chevy Aveo has had issues since I purchased it last year. Unfortunately I am still making payments on this paperweight. I will never buy another cheverolet again. Thats my largest issue is that I bought a chevy. Air bag light came on after having the battery dead twice because of the alternator going bad twice. Im up for inspection and this car will not pass. Reading how this issue has never been resolved for anyone and Chevrolet wont own up and take responsibility for very important safety feature, whats the point in even trying but to throw this vehicle in the garbage? last time I took my Aveo in for a recall on the module, they said they fixed it and they did not because its still burning up, so I just try to not drive at night. I have a two year old and three year old and if those airbags randomly deploy and we get into a car accident, they are going to have a lawsuit on their hands.

6 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Chevrolet Aveo

Failure Date: 05/15/2017

Airbag light came on and has stayed on for 2 months. Unable to detect what is wrong with electronic reader. Airbags are disengaged, and I can't find out why without paying more money than I have to spend because each component has to be checked, and that doesn't include actually fixing the problem, just figuring out what the problem is. I've seen that many people have complained about this. Passenger airbag sensor started acting weird/ not working first. Occurred around 100 k miles. When will a recall happen? this is apparently a common safety issue.

19 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Chevrolet Aveo

Failure Date: 12/17/2015

My airbag light has been on for 3 months and know once it's on won't work if and when I need it. This a major safety concern and something that gm should be addressing as it seems to be a manufacturer related issue. I took my vehicle down to my local auburn cheverolet and they told me they would have to replace the clock on my dashboard which works perfectly fine in order to fix the airbag problem. This doesn't seem right and should be a big red flag. I would like to see gm address these issues instead of sweeping it under their proverbial rug. They are putting customers at great risk.

Failure Date: 09/01/2015

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.

28 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Aveo

Failure Date: 04/23/2015

I was rear ended and it was not a bad accident but needed a bumper and I noticed that after this happened my airbag sensor light came on. When we took the vehicle in for repair I told the technician that I was more concerned about the airbag sensor light then the bumper. They said they would look at it. When we picked up our vehicle they said they looked at the airbag light sensor and reset it. Now 6 months later the light is back on. I took it back and they suggested I check on the internet for any recalls. I did not see any. Can you suggest anything. I feel that they did not really properly check out the sensor light or to make sure the airbag is ok.

30 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Aveo

Failure Date: 03/20/2015

I bought my chevy Aveo lt in 2013 with a little over 39,000 and within 6 months I noticed the passenger side air bag light was only staying on sometimes; and then a couple of months ago I noticed that it was staying off. I took my car to the dealer as I bought an extended warranty, and they told me it was the senser in the set and that it would have to be replaced at the cost of $1600 as it is not covered by my warranty as it is a factory defect. I did a lot of looking on the internet and found this has been a problem with the Aveo since at least 2006. The one person that finally got gm to fix theirs after a lot of words back and forth says it went out again 6 months later. This is a very serious matter as the passenger is at risk and in my case it is my 13 yr old grandson I'm raising that I take back and forth to school everyday much less everywhere else. I'm 68 and do not have the kind of money that is needed to fix this problem so I hope g m will place these cars on recall and fix this problem in the Aveos before someone is hurt or dead.

31 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2006 Chevrolet Aveo

Failure Date: 02/13/2015

Both the drivers and passengers airbag lights remain on no matter if parked or driving. Both driver and passenger airbags do not appear to be working. Fear that bags will not deploy in a crash. Feel gm needs to recall this issue, dealers are clueless, I do not intent to have this fixed or even diagnosed based on the sheer quanity of same/similar complains with no clear cut resolution. Passenger airbag off light remains on at all times whether someone is sitting in the seat or not, driver's side airbag light remains on at all times no matter if parked, running, in reverse, neutral, or drive. I seriously hope this car doesn't kill me. Seems with all of the airbag safety recalls, this one needs to be added. It is a safety issue that could cause death.
