Takata recall. On October 13th 2018 I was in a horrific accident while on the highway was an single car accident my tire shredded but still maintained air and my airbags didn't deploy on either side and I got a broken nose and a few facial fractures. Now I have severe headaches everyday since then.
The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Aveo. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,390. Updated 09/22/16
The vehicle was moving at a highway speed of approximately 65 mph, when it got into a collision with another vehicle. The other vehicle made an abrupt stop on the highway in front of the 2004 Chevrolet Aveo, which caused the Aveo to hit the back of the suddenly stopped vehicle. Upon impact, the airbag did not deploy, which from my understanding should happen when traveling at that speed. In fact it especially should have deployed, due to the fact that the impact damaged the front of the vehicle. My concern is that I have bought two other vehicles from the same manufacturer since my purchase of this vehicle. I want to make sure that my family is safe when riding in these vehicles.

Air bag light will not shut off. Dealer has repaired it at least 4 times and now it is on again. He says they can't or won't do it under warranty, and told me it would cost about $500 this is just not acceptable. Seems like there are lots of complaints about Aveo air bag light staying on. There should be a recall and get them fixed.

Air bag indicator light came on in mid January 2008 and has remained on. The car just went out of warranty in Aug 2007. Since I have been deployed for 15 months, I was not able to discover this problem while it was still under standard warranty. After contacting Chevrolet about several issues with the brakes and air bag light, they instructed me to get it diagnosed. The diagnosis revealed an ecw failure but nothing could be found wrong with the brakes. Recommendation from Chevrolet servco is to have ecw fixed. After the occurrence with the brakes, my husband began driving the vehicle.
While stopped at red light, our 2004 Chevy Aveo was struck from behind by a vehicle traveling about 25-45 mph, which propelled the Aveo into the car in front of it. During the crash, the driver's seat moved backward into about a 45 degree angle and locked in that position and providing my daughter no protection against whiplash. She received injuries to her neck and abdomen, which would have been much worse if she had not been holding on tightly to the steering wheel. She was wearing her seat belt at the time of the crash, and the Aveo airbags did not deploy.
