“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10734817, filed 2015-07, 90,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10732501, filed 2015-07, 88,460 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10609306, filed 2014-07, 31,200 miles“I have problems with whenever I go to put gas in my car, some of it goes on the ground. Not all of the gas goes on the ground, but a little less than half of what I purchased. My headlights are so dim that I can't hardly see when I'm driving at night. Also, my passenger side air bag light is constantly on? There's one there and nothing bigamy wrong with it that I can see. The stereo.....only the driver side front speaker works, the other three doesn't work at all....please look into these few things or give me some sort of idea of what I can do”
NHTSA complaint #11306218, filed 2020-01, 177,900 miles“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!!!”
