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
"takata recall" I bought my car in 2009. About 6 months later the airbag light came on and the dealer went out of business. When I checked the VIN number it was not among the many, many Aveos tagged for recall to replace faulty airbag systems. And I'm not alone. Complaints keep piling in from Aveo owners about the airbag safety lights that never turn off, nearly catching up with 20 years of "complaints involving takata inflators..." my car was parked when an individual backed into my passenger door. The collision was so severe the door had to be replaced. Yet it triggered no airbags. Did you know while the airbag light is engaged, the car cannot be sold" you think this might be due to the fact that it indicates a serious problem with the airbag system - that most prominent feature in Aveo's highly touted "5-point" safety rating? so what's its rating without airbags? or do we need a higher body count before the makers and safety regulators are willing to talk about that? need we really toil with the question about why America lost its place in the auto industry" we need go no further than right here.
Airbag light came on and has stayed on for 2 months. Unable to detect what is wrong with electronic reader. Airbags are disengaged, and I can't find out why without paying more money than I have to spend because each component has to be checked, and that doesn't include actually fixing the problem, just figuring out what the problem is. I've seen that many people have complained about this. Passenger airbag sensor started acting weird/ not working first. Occurred around 100 K miles. When will a recall happen? this is apparently a common safety issue.

The air bag warning light came on while driving 20mph while turning and has never went off (started around 125,000miles). I took it to the local mechanic, he checked wires and hooked it up to a diagnostic machine and believes it is either the module or the sensor in the seat, but can't/won't give an exact cause. When I tried to contact GM they kept saying I was just going off what the internet said and needed to see a dealer. Just made it feel like that didn't care about my safety or the safety of any one in one of these vehicles.

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!!!

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.

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.
