2007 Chevrolet Aveo Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The airbag warning light has remained illuminated since I acquired the vehicle in January 2025. The warning light stays on continuously and does not reset. This indicates a fault in the airbag system, and I have been advised that when this light is on, the airbags may be disabled and may not deploy in a crash. The vehicle has also experienced ongoing electrical problems, including lighting failures, blown fuses, and shift-interlock malfunctions, which suggests an electrical system fault affecting multiple safety-related systems. These issues create concern that the airbag control system may be impacted by the same electrical malfunction. The vehicle has not been repaired or diagnosed by a dealer for the airbag issue. The condition is still present and the warning light remains illuminated. This failure creates a serious safety risk because the airbags may not function in the event of a collision.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Aveo. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the driver’s side front air bag sensor warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who inspected the vehicle and completed a diagnostic test which displayed a failure with the front driver’s side air bag. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately of 52,000.

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.

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!!!

FOR THE LAST WEEK, MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN STAYING ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

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.

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. *TR

1. AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT REMAINS ON FOR DURATION OF VEHICLE'S OPERATION. 2. DRIVER SIDE INSIDE DOOR LATCH IS CRACKED AND WILL NOT OPEN DOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF HER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MULTIPLE BRUISES, CUTS ON AN UNKNOWN ARM AND LEG, ONE PASSENGER SUSTAINED A BROKEN NOSE, AND THE OTHER PASSENGER SUSTAINED A CUT BELOW THE EYE THAT ALL REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ...UPDATED 01/25/16 *BF

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.

I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THE CHEVROLET AVEO ONLY HAS FRONTAL AIR BAGS AND SHOULD HAVE MORE AIR BAGS ESPECIALLY FOR SIDE COLLISIONS.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER (HUBER AUTOMOTIVE) NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CLAIMED TO FIX IT BUT IT KEEPS RETURNING ON

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.

1. ON JUNE 14, 2015, THE RED PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND ALL IT SAID WAS THAT THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG MODULE. NHTSA'S DATABASE STATES IN SERVICE BULLETIN #SB-12-09-41-001, ID #10047441 THAT BUICK/CHEVROLET IS PROVIDING INFORMATION REGARDING COUNTERFEIT VEHICLE AIRBAG MODULE FOR 2006-2010 AVEO (AND OTHER MODELS). ANY VEHICLE AIRBAG DEFECT OR COUNTERFEIT PART IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM! WHAT "INFORMATION" HAVE CHEVROLET/BUICK PROVIDED??? I AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT ANY PASSENGER IN OUR 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO IS AT GREAT RISK! 2. IN NHTSA'S #14V2161000 RECALL SUBJECT: DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT MODULE OVERHEATING INVOLVES 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO VEHICLES (& OTHER GM VEHICLES). THIS IS OF REAL CONCERN TO US BECAUSE WE HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED BY CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE RUNNING LIGHT MODULE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A VEHICLE FIRE. WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO IN 2009! PLEASE HELP. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT GM WILL NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAG SENSOR AND MODULE AS THERE WAS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS DEFECT, AND THEY CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THE REPAIRS AT THE COST OF $1,697.48. *TR

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT SEAT SENSOR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY YEARS AGO, HOWEVER THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUES NOW WITH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT. LAST AUGUST IT WAS A CLOCKSPRING, A WEEK AGO IT WAS THE SDM MODULE, NOW A WEEK LATER THEY ARE SAYING IT WILL TAKE A NEW CLOCK. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE CARS YET THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR

SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL ISSUE OR SHOULD THE VEHICLE OWNER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CORRECTING OF THE PROBLEM? *TR
