I try to put a seat belt on a child in the back seat and it dose not work at all. The steering on my aveo is also not safe it feels as if my axel on my car is going to brake? Also this car has caught on fire as I was on the freeway coming from work. I have replace the cadillac converter on this car as well as 2,000 other repairs into my car. It is very dangerous knowing that one day when I get in my car it may caught on fire if it get to hot. It very sad all I would like to do is go to school and work get home safe guaranteed every day.

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.
