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.

My engine light started coming on, so I took it to my mechanic and they did a diagnostic test on my 2007 chevy aveo. They found that it had the same problem the toyotas had when recalled. It is the throttle position sensor accelerator position sensor. I was told that if it don't get fixed, either the gas pedal will stick or it could just stop and not go anywhere. I have only had the car almost 1 yr. And it only has 44,000 miles on it.

On december 8, 2007 I took the 2007 chevy aveo into the dealership because the check engine light was on and the car would act like it was going to stall. The dealer had my vehicle 11 days and replaced 3 gaskets, 2 valves 4 seals and changed the fluids, vehicle was at 13,143 miles. Vehicle was then taken back in february x 2 and march to dealership in which I bought vehicle for the same problem check engine light on and all 3 times the computer would register it was the throttle body and they did nothing and they treated me with no respect. I then took to another dealer and they could not do anything until the light came back on. As anyone knows it takes the computer sometimes up to 300 miles to reset itself. So when the check engine light came back on 3 weeks later I took back to dealer and they stated that it was the trottleboday and it was just recalled 2 weeks prior. All the wasted gas and time. I was in contact with general motors the whole time and they did nothing for me I had the supervisor tell me after the throttlebody was replaced they would nothing for my time and wasted gas and very ruse man. And now my vehicle is back in the shop for the 6th time in the last 2 months because the check engine light was back on and she was losing power again. They have now replaced spark plugs, wires, ignition coil, fuel injectors., values and cam shaft. So now after 12 visits to the shop almost 35 days without my vehicle being in commission I am filing for the lemon law. I will never purchase another gm vehicle again. Anyone who is having anytype of problems with their vehicle there are laws out there that protect you. Yes it will cost me money to file it , but it will be worth it in the end. And word of wise always keep documentation on anything you have done to your vehicle you never know when you are going to need it.
