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.
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?
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.
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.

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
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.
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. The federal safety agency'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 the federal safety agency'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.
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 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.

Air bag light will not turn off.
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?
Airbag warning light stays on.
Airbag light stays on won't even let you in to read code.

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 .
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 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????
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.
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.
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...
