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!!!!!!!!!!

AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. *TR

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING AND NOW HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK AT ALL. *TR

HEADLIGHT FAILED. I HAVE OWNED THIS AUTO 4 YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 6 HEADLIGHTS. I JUST GOT A TICKET BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHT WAS OUT, AND I HAD REPLACED A HEADLIGHT LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE SO MANY HEADLIGHTS IN ONE VEHICLE IN ALL MY 49 YEARS OF DRIVING. THESE HEADLIGHTS CANNOT BE REPLACED BY THE OWNER, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES SPECIALIZED TOOLS. I HAVE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE EVERY TIME A HEADLIGHT GOES OUT, SO THE COST IN 3X WHAT THE LAMP ALONE COSTS AT A PARTS STORE. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER STARTING CAR, I WAS UNABLE TO DISENGAGE THE CAR FROM THE PARKING POSITION. WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET CAR OUT THE PARK POSITION BY JAMMING A METAL DEVICE INTO THE MANUAL SHIFT LOCK RELEASE POSITION. ENDED HAVING CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS NEEDING A NEW FUSE BOX. HOWEVER, AFTER FIRST DRIVE HOME, BACK TO ORIGINAL PROBLEM: CANNOT REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION AND IF I DO DRIVE, ELECTRICAL POWER GOES OUT. *TR

AIR BAG DEPLOYED LIGHT CAME ON APPROXIMATELY 12/3 AND STAYS ON. WILL THIS CAUSE THE BAG NOT TO DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT? I HAVE NOTICED ON LINE THIS HAS BEEN MENTIONED BY OTHERS AS WELL. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL ISSUE OR SHOULD THE VEHICLE OWNER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CORRECTING OF THE PROBLEM? *TR

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON. *TR

IN JULY 2014, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE #14093 FROM CHEVROLET/GM ADVISING OF A FIRE HAZARD INVOLVING MY DAYTIME RUNNING HEADLIGHTS. THE NOTICE ADVISED THE PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE... I CALLED THEIR 800 NUMBER SEVERAL TIMES UP THROUGH TODAY TO CHECK ON GETTING THIS HAZARD FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, TODAY IS 11-22-14, AND THEY STILL ARE NOT READY TO REMEDY THE HAZARD. IN ADDITION, MY INTERIOR LIGHT STOPPED WORKING A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND IT'S NOT THE LIGHT BULB BECAUSE I REPLACED IT. I WOULD LIKE THIS REPAIRED TOO. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, AND IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT FOUR MONTHS HAVE NOW GONE BY SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE, I STRONGLY FEEL THAT CHEVROLET/GM SHOULD OFFER/PAY FOR A SAFE LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THEY REMOVE THE FIRE HAZARD. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE KANSAS TURNPIKE RETURNING HOME FROM A FAMILY FUNERAL WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT MILE MARKER 116. MY SON AND I BOTH GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES FLAMES BEGAN SHOOTING OUT FROM AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL. IT TOOK STATE TROOPERS APPROX 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO ARRIVE ON SCENE AND APPROX 20 TO 25 MINUTES FOR THE FIRE DEPT TO ARRIVE. BY THE TIME STATE PATROL ARRIVED ON SCENE THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. *TR

TIMING BELT BREAKS TOO OFTEN. THE CAR HAS NOW HAD THE TIMING BELT REPLACE 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT I BOUGHT IT AT 69,000 MILES I WAS REPLACED AT AROUND 74K THEN BROKE AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT NIGHT TIME AFTER HOURS AT 121K THEN HAS BROKE AGAIN AT 134K THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A 60K PART AND IS NOT LASTING LIKE IT SHOULD AND WHEN IT BREAKS CAUSES OTHER STUFF AROUND IT TO BE AFFECTED AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO REPLACE WATER PUMP, THE 2ND TIME WATER PUMP AS WELL AS ENGINE GASKETS AND IT COST ME $2600 TO FIX. THIS LAST TIME JUST THE WATER PUMP AND A WATER HOSE. THIS LAST TIME IT LEFT MY DAUGHTER STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AFTER DARK ON HER WAY HOME FROM COLLEGE LUCKILY HER BOYFRIEND WAS ABLE TO COME PICK HER UP. THIS CAR IS NOTORIOUS FOR THE TIMING BELT ISSUE. ALL THREE TIMES THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND ALL THREE SAY THAT THIS CAR HAS MAJOR ISSUES DUE TO THE TIMING BELTS NOT BEING STURDY. CHEVY SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE CARS OR REFUNDING THE COST OF HAVING THESE REPAIRED YOU CAN'T EVEN RESELL TO PEOPLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. ALSO I NEVER EVEN GOT A LETTER REGARDING THE HEAD LAMP RECALL. I AM JUST WONDERING IF CHEVY IS WAITING TILL PEOPLE BLOW UP IN THEIR CARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR LEVER WAS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR UNTIL REPEATED ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO INFORMED THAT THE CLUTCH AND SHIFT LINKAGE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES PREVIOUSLY.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO CONTINUOUSLY STAYED ON. UPON READING THE MANUAL I FOUND OUT THAT THIS COULD MEAN THAT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY AND IT STATED TO IMMEDIATELY GET THE CAR SERVICED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER, WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR FOR MY YOUNG SON, AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT. I, THEN, RESEARCHED THIS AIR BAG ISSUE ON THE SAFERCAR.GOV WEBSITE AND FOUND PAGES OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY STAYING ON IN THESE CARS. THERE WERE ALSO PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN IN CRASHES WHERE THERE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND ONE CASE WHERE THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY IN A FATAL CRASH. THERE WERE ALSO SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING COUNTERFEIT AIR BAGS BEING USED IN CHEVROLET AVEOS. HOWEVER, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE REGARDING HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS AND ALL THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, THERE IS STILL NO RECALL. IT COST ME OVER $700 TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED AND I DON'T THINK IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT LIFESAVING REPAIR WHEN IT IS SUCH A PROMINENT PROBLEM IN THESE CARS. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED AS THIS IS MY YOUNG SON'S CAR. I BELIEVE NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS AND A RECALL IS DEFINITELY WARRANTED. WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THESE REPAIRS??? ARE THEIR LIVES LESS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE GM DOESN'T WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX A DEFECT THAT IS THEIR RESPO
