Problems with 2007 Chevrolet Aveo AIR BAGS

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.

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!!!

For the last week, my airbag light has been staying on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet aveo. the contact started the vehicle and the front driver side air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

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.

The air bag warning light came on while driving 20mph while turning and has never went off (started around 125,000miles). i took it to the local mechanic, he checked wires and hooked it up to a diagnostic machine and believes it is either the module or the sensor in the seat, but can't/won't give an exact cause. when i tried to contact gm they kept saying i was just going off what the internet said and needed to see a dealer. just made it feel like that didn't care about my safety or the safety of any one in one of these vehicles. *tr

Tl* the contact owned a 2007 chevrolet aveo. while making a turn at 20 mph, the steering wheel locked up and caused the vehicle to spin out of control. the contact crashed into an oncoming vehicle. the air bags did not deploy. the police was called to the scene and a police report was filed. the contact was uninjured; however, the pregnant driver of the other vehicle sustained injuries that required medical attention. the contact's vehicle was destroyed and towed to a tow yard. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 126,859.

1. airbag readiness light remains on for duration of vehicle's operation. 2. driver side inside door latch is cracked and will not open door.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet aveo. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 mph, another vehicle crashed into the side of her vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. a police report was filed. the contact sustained multiple bruises, cuts on an unknown arm and leg, one passenger sustained a broken nose, and the other passenger sustained a cut below the eye that all required medical attention. the vehicle was towed to a impound lot. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was not available. ...updated 01/25/16 *bf

Air bag light stays on duration when i'm driving. i took it to the dealer and they looked at it and the light was off, but it came back on again after 3 months.

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.

I would like to suggest the chevrolet aveo only has frontal air bags and should have more air bags especially for side collisions.

My air bag light keeps coming on. i took it to a chevy dealer (huber automotive) numerous times and they claimed to fix it but it keeps returning on

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.

1. on june 14, 2015, the red passenger airbag warning light came on and will not go off. i checked the owners manual and all it said was that there may be a problem with the airbag module. nhtsa's database states in service bulletin #sb-12-09-41-001, id #10047441 that buick/chevrolet is providing information regarding counterfeit vehicle airbag module for 2006-2010 aveo (and other models). any vehicle airbag defect or counterfeit part is a major safety problem! what "information" have chevrolet/buick provided??? i am extremely upset that any passenger in our 2007 chevrolet aveo is at great risk! 2. in nhtsa's #14v2161000 recall subject: daytime running light module overheating involves 2007 chevrolet aveo vehicles (& other gm vehicles). this is of real concern to us because we have never been contacted by chevrolet about this defective running light module overheating and possibly causing a vehicle fire. we purchased our 2007 chevrolet aveo in 2009! please help. the consumer stated that gm will not replace the defective air bag sensor and module as there was no recall issued for this defect, and they can not afford to fix the repairs at the cost of $1,697.48. *tr

The front passenger air bag light seat sensor was replaced under warranty years ago, however there has been an ongoing issues now with the front driver's side air bag light. last august it was a clockspring, a week ago it was the sdm module, now a week later they are saying it will take a new clock. dealership claims this is an ongoing issue with these cars yet there is no recall. *tr

Tl* the contact owned a 2007 chevrolet aveo. while driving at an unknown speed, the contact's vehicle crashed head on into another vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. the contact sustained neck injuries that did not require medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 38,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet aveo. the contact stated that the air bag warning lamp illuminated. the failure was reported to an authorized dealer. the vehicle was to be taken in for further inspection and diagnosis. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 31,800.

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 light stays on won't even let you in to read code. *tr

Air bag light will not turn off. *tr

Chevy aveo 2007 showed air bag light deployed and the ignition key has a defect when key is entered chevy aveo accelerates to 2000 rpm and shuts off the aveo . *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet aveo. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 65,000. updated 05/04/17*lj *tr

Airbag light stays on all the time dealer says it is $900 to fix it. you would think with all the other complaints chevy would take care of the problem. *tr

I was involved in an accident in which my airbag didn't deploy. i suffered from a concussion, a hairline nasal fracture, and i still have issues with my neck and back to this day. as i have noticed it seems to be a common problem not only with gm vehicles but aveo's as well. when is a recall going to be issued?

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet aveo. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the contact also stated that the vehicle failed to shift into drive. the failure occurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the gear box needed to be repaired. the vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 66,000.

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 responsibility and not the consumers. how many people have to die to get this issue resolved???? *tr

When the car starts air bag light gets deployed this has been happening since 2011. the front panel gets overheated- daytime running light. *tr

Noticed airbag warning light staying on all the time. since i was only driver, i soon forgot about it. now that wife is driving it, i became concerned. i had dealer run diagnostic and they said the air bag system checks out just fine and will function properly, but are at a loss as to why the light stays on. further troubleshooting will involve removing the dash and an awful lot of money. shouldn't this type of problem be covered under safety recall? *tr

Lost control while braking/steering on black ice after a curve to avoid wrecked vehicles and motorists in lanes. car spun 180 and rolled 360 off road (rolled over the left side of the vehicle, shattering the left rear pass window, coming to rest on wheels). believe the aveo5 svm should come standard with side airbags. no airbags deployed. was wearing seatbelt, shaken but able to exit vehicle safely. no passengers. vehicle has a history of sir light coming on several times and had been serviced by 2 separate chevrolet/gm goodwrench dealerships multiple times to replace airbag control module, wire harness, and service connectors. sir light was not on at the time of incident. exact vehicle speed at time of rollover is unknown, 25 mph is a rough guess of speed after braking.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet aveo. the contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. the contact was informed that the air bag needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 26,000.

Air bag light stays on all of the time. *tr

Driving down the interstate the driver side air bag deployed causing the driver to lose control and hit the center wall. driver sustained multiple injuries including 5 broken ribs and a broken back in 7 places. gm says if i cannot prove the air bag went off (video of the incident) then they have no reason to believe the center was not hit first causing the air bags to deploy, therefore functioning properly. *tr

My airbags failed to deploy when i was rear-ended in my chevy aveo. i sustained multiple injuries to my head, mouth, eye, nose, and lost consciousness in addition to other injuries to my body. *tr

Airbag warning light stays on. *tr

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!!!!!!!!!!

The air bag light started to flicker, then stayed lit from that point. is still lit to this day.seems as tho this is a problem in all the "07" models. it is my understanding that with this light on that the air bags will not work which in turn is a major safety factor. *tr

There has been a service bulletin issued ...nhtsa #10047441, tsb#sb-12-09-41-001 stating that counterfeit airbag modules were put on the chevy aveo's from the years 2006 to 2010. there has been several reports of the airbags not deploying during frontal crashes, and many more reports like mine where the airbag light is constantly lit disabling the airbags. general motors isn't offering a recall and i think someone needs to step up and have general motors repair all of the affected vehicles as this is a major safety issue. how many more people have to die and/or suffer before someone makes an effort to issue a recall????? *tr

I was about to start the car and the airbag on the left side of the driver's seat exploded, injuring my left arm. *tr

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... *tr

The car has only 12,000 miles despite being 5 years old. it is babied and been regularly serviced. the instrument panel airbag light stays illuminated. although chevrolet has issued a tsb (technical service bulletin), no recall on these cars has been issued despite the hundreds of complaints. it seems that now i am stuck with an expensive repair. *tr

I was in an accident where the car had frontal impact damage and no air bags deployed. i hit a guardrail and a concrete wall due to black ice. the car is totaled out. i am deeply concerned that no air bags were deployed. luckily, i was not severely injured just banged up and have pain in my neck, shoulders, and my lower back. *tr

In june, 2011 my sister was driving a aveo and clipped a road sign on the right front bumper, continued to go straight over to left down an embankment of approx. 6 ft and 40-45 mph and hit steering wheel so hard that it broke steering wheel and busted her heart killing her instantly. i went to school for automotive and know a lot about cars and this accident makes no sense. i took pics of everything. even though the airbag was out it didn't appear to have inflated completely and the clothing my sister had on she should've had some sort of cuts, burns,abbrasions,but instead nothing but a busted heart. she also hit the windshield with her forehead. i saw no sort of residue on or in the car as evidence that the airbag did what it was supposed to. she sustained injuries common to those injuries sustained from a car not equipped with an airbag. i was even going to see if aveo came with a black box and to pull it off and have it analyzed, but the car got sent to junk yard before i could do that. no conclusion to this whole ordeal and this great loss we've suffered will ever bring her back, but knowing what i do about cars, i have so many questions and really want this looked into. i have inc reports pics of the scene with and without the car , as well as the car by itself panel for panel pics of the car. i know the aveo is not one of the vehicles named on the news, but there are other similar cars with the same issues.

After buying my car brand new the air bag light went on and stayed on till this day. at the beginning i thought it was only the passenger air bag and went and asked about it at the dealership where they actually informed me that it wasn't only the passenger airbag thats not working, rather none of the airbags work. that was made clear a month later when my dad, grandmother, and brother were driving it and got t-boned by a truck and of course non of the airbags went off. i mean getting tboned by a truck is pretty serious thing where air bags should deploy! the aveo is not the safest car to start out with but to also have zero airbags thats pretty messed up, pretty much a death waiting to happen, because lets be real here, i stand no chance if i get in an accident in that car. might as well no have seat belts on there either. when contacted the dealership more than once they have nothing to say other than pay us and well look into it then you'll pay us more. i will never buy another chevrolet car again. *tr

Passenger air bag intermittently will not engage when a passenger is in the seat the car has been tested and it was proven to a chevy tech that this is a problem. *tr

Engine shuts down while driving as if ignition turned off. cannot get out of park. air conditioner stopped in 2010, 2011, 2013 air bag lights on dashboard on since 2010. *tr

Takata recall i bought my car in 2009. about 6 months later the airbag light came on and the dealer went out of business. when i checked the vin number it was not among the many, many aveos tagged for recall to replace faulty airbag systems. and i'm not alone. complaints keep piling in from aveo owners about the airbag safety lights that never turn off, nearly catching up with 20 years of "complaints involving takata inflators..." my car was parked when an individual backed into my passenger door. the collision was so severe the door had to be replaced. yet it triggered no airbags. did you know while the airbag light is engaged, the car cannot be sold? you think this might be due to the fact that it indicates a serious problem with the airbag system - that most prominent feature in aveo's highly touted "5-point" safety rating? so what's its rating without airbags? or do we need a higher body count before the makers and safety regulators are willing to talk about that? need we really toil with the question about why america lost its place in the auto industry? we need go no further than right here.

My airbag never deployed during a front end collision. my car continues to get stuck in park. the passenger side window switch does not work. the ac continuous to make a ticking sound and still does not work after replacing a valve for a leak and replacing the compressor. *tr
