2008 chevy aveo sedan - [xxx] - airbag warning light remains on at all times - no body codes are present / detected - (using foxwell elite nt630 scanner which claims to read / clear airbag codes) - I've already researched this issue - "mucho problemos" - with over half of all chevy aveo complaints including airbag warning light remains on. It's most likely either the clock module - which passes the passenger side airbag signals to the main SRS controller, the SRS controller module (located under center shift console area) or the passenger side airbag itself - code scanner only sees passenger side airbag stage 2 - (no stage 1 seen) ... Driver's side shows both stage 1 and stage 2 ... All pretensioners are proper (2 ohms circuit resistance) ... Battery strong / good / new - 1 year old - 13.5 volts - I'm worried dealer (hawthorne chevrolet - hawthorne nj) will actually not know the extensive issue with chevy aveo airbag warning light coming on - and will wrongly diagnose and try to charge big bucks - and problem will return - this is a safety issue - since with airbag warning light staying on - SRS airbag system will not operate, no airbag protection - I have also now contacted chevrolet on this subject / problem - waiting for their reply - located in northern nj - hawthorne chevrolet would be the proper dealership - (I purchased the car there - 10 years ago - they have serviced the car for routine repairs) ... Will be contacting them on this SRS airbag warning light problem - but worried they are not really knowledgeable on it ... There should be a recall on this problem - SRS / airbag warning light staying on - safety related failure - chevy knows about this by now for sure - information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Airbag light is on, has been on when I bought the car from the dealer, said passenger side airbag fuse was bad, needed replaced. Noted that the passenger on/off will at random turn on or off or not even show at times, I have also noted the seat making some sort of noise when turning the car on.

Airbag indicator has disappeared from dashboard. The airbag on/off symbol is no longer illuminated on my dash and my airbag warning light has turned on. It started as the airbag on/off light would sometimes be illuminated, and sometimes not be illuminated, and now the indicator is completely gone (never shows on or off).

I made a report more than a week ago. The headlights sporadically turn off without warning. I was driving at night and both headlamps went out. I have to do night driving with the illumination of hazard lights only. Unsafe!!! This site claimed I would be contacted 72 hrs. After I made the first report. Well, I'm still waiting. I am still without headlights. Periodically, there was electrical (ozone) smells. Since the lights are out, this is noticed less, but I have smelt it on a few occasions.

Chief deficiency: headliughts have spontaneously stopped illuminating. No high or low beam function of the driver or passenger headlamps. Bulbs were just replaced because lights were dimming. Upon replacement it was noted that the passenger plug in/socket was partially melted. Worked fine for 20 days; now no headlights at all. This occurred while I was driving after dark. I found there is a gm recall campaign 14236, dated 19may2014: recall # 14v261000 for exterior headlights. Additionally, to what is noted above, I have been smelling periodical whiffs of ozone while operating the vehicle these past few days. This vehicle is equipped with daytime running lights (drl).
