AIR BAG DEPLOYED LIGHT CAME ON APPROXIMATELY 12/3 AND STAYS ON. WILL THIS CAUSE THE BAG NOT TO DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT? I HAVE NOTICED ON LINE THIS HAS BEEN MENTIONED BY OTHERS AS WELL. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL ISSUE OR SHOULD THE VEHICLE OWNER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CORRECTING OF THE PROBLEM? *TR

IN JULY 2014, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE #14093 FROM CHEVROLET/GM ADVISING OF A FIRE HAZARD INVOLVING MY DAYTIME RUNNING HEADLIGHTS. THE NOTICE ADVISED THE PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE... I CALLED THEIR 800 NUMBER SEVERAL TIMES UP THROUGH TODAY TO CHECK ON GETTING THIS HAZARD FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, TODAY IS 11-22-14, AND THEY STILL ARE NOT READY TO REMEDY THE HAZARD. IN ADDITION, MY INTERIOR LIGHT STOPPED WORKING A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND IT'S NOT THE LIGHT BULB BECAUSE I REPLACED IT. I WOULD LIKE THIS REPAIRED TOO. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, AND IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT FOUR MONTHS HAVE NOW GONE BY SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE, I STRONGLY FEEL THAT CHEVROLET/GM SHOULD OFFER/PAY FOR A SAFE LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THEY REMOVE THE FIRE HAZARD. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TIMING BELT BREAKS TOO OFTEN. THE CAR HAS NOW HAD THE TIMING BELT REPLACE 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT I BOUGHT IT AT 69,000 MILES I WAS REPLACED AT AROUND 74K THEN BROKE AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT NIGHT TIME AFTER HOURS AT 121K THEN HAS BROKE AGAIN AT 134K THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A 60K PART AND IS NOT LASTING LIKE IT SHOULD AND WHEN IT BREAKS CAUSES OTHER STUFF AROUND IT TO BE AFFECTED AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO REPLACE WATER PUMP, THE 2ND TIME WATER PUMP AS WELL AS ENGINE GASKETS AND IT COST ME $2600 TO FIX. THIS LAST TIME JUST THE WATER PUMP AND A WATER HOSE. THIS LAST TIME IT LEFT MY DAUGHTER STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AFTER DARK ON HER WAY HOME FROM COLLEGE LUCKILY HER BOYFRIEND WAS ABLE TO COME PICK HER UP. THIS CAR IS NOTORIOUS FOR THE TIMING BELT ISSUE. ALL THREE TIMES THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND ALL THREE SAY THAT THIS CAR HAS MAJOR ISSUES DUE TO THE TIMING BELTS NOT BEING STURDY. CHEVY SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE CARS OR REFUNDING THE COST OF HAVING THESE REPAIRED YOU CAN'T EVEN RESELL TO PEOPLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. ALSO I NEVER EVEN GOT A LETTER REGARDING THE HEAD LAMP RECALL. I AM JUST WONDERING IF CHEVY IS WAITING TILL PEOPLE BLOW UP IN THEIR CARS. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME DEALER SAYS IT IS $900 TO FIX IT. YOU WOULD THINK WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS CHEVY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

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?

UNSURE WHAT IS GOING O. BUT TURNED ON RUNNING LIGHTS AND ONE HEAD LIGHT COMES ON WITH IT AND TURN IT TO AUTO FOR THE LIGHTS AND THE OTHER SIDE TURNS ONE AND THE OTHER SIDE ISN'T WORKING. *TR

WHEN TURNING ON WIPERS THE WIPER CONTROL ARM DETACHES AND WIPERS WON'T WORK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE.

UNABLE TO MOVE GEAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE OVER SEVEN TIMES MECHANIC INFORMED FAILURE IN GEAR BOX ALSO INFORMED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURRING DEFECT. *TR

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO CONTINUOUSLY STAYED ON. UPON READING THE MANUAL I FOUND OUT THAT THIS COULD MEAN THAT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY AND IT STATED TO IMMEDIATELY GET THE CAR SERVICED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER, WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR FOR MY YOUNG SON, AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT. I, THEN, RESEARCHED THIS AIR BAG ISSUE ON THE SAFERCAR.GOV WEBSITE AND FOUND PAGES OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY STAYING ON IN THESE CARS. THERE WERE ALSO PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN IN CRASHES WHERE THERE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND ONE CASE WHERE THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY IN A FATAL CRASH. THERE WERE ALSO SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING COUNTERFEIT AIR BAGS BEING USED IN CHEVROLET AVEOS. HOWEVER, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE REGARDING HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS AND ALL THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, THERE IS STILL NO RECALL. IT COST ME OVER $700 TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED AND I DON'T THINK IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT LIFESAVING REPAIR WHEN IT IS SUCH A PROMINENT PROBLEM IN THESE CARS. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED AS THIS IS MY YOUNG SON'S CAR. I BELIEVE NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS AND A RECALL IS DEFINITELY WARRANTED. WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THESE REPAIRS??? ARE THEIR LIVES LESS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE GM DOESN'T WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX A DEFECT THAT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE CONSUMERS. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED???? *TR

FRONT END CRASH RESULTING IN ENGINE FIRE. FIRE MIGRATED INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. DRIVER SUFFERED BURNS TO FACE, CHEST AND HANDS. *TR

ABOUT A WEEK AGO I STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. THOUGHT I WAS MISTAKEN. TRIED TO CRANK THE CAR TODAY AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. HAD A RELATIVE JUMP IT AND FOUND THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. IN RESEARCHING WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE I FOUND THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS MODULE BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE YET. I ONLY HAVE THIS ONE VEHICLE AND I CANNOT GET ANYONE TO CALL ME ABOUT GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED. YOU WOULD THINK THAT WITH ALL THE BAD PUBLICITY GM IS GETTING AT THIS TIME THEY WOULD WANT TO ASSIST QUICKLY. NOPE. I AM ALSO DEALING WITH MY DAUGHTERS CAR WHICH IS AN HHR THAT HAS HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALLED AND I WAS ADVISED TODAY THAT IT COULD TAKE 8 WEEKS FOR THE PART TO COME IN. REALLY? I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE MY 3 YEAR OLD GRANDSON RIDES IN BOTH THESE CARS. I AM FILING THIS HOPING SOMEONE CONTACTS ME. NEXT STEP IS KEN AMARO. *TR

WHEN THE CAR STARTS AIR BAG LIGHT GETS DEPLOYED THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2011. THE FRONT PANEL GETS OVERHEATED- DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. FIRST DIAGNOSTIC BY THE GM DEALERSHIP POINTED TO A 12V POWER LOSS. THEN AFTER ~2 MONTHS THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. AN INDEPENDENT CAR REPAIR SHOP TESTED FOR 2 HOURS PER TROUBLE CODE AND FOUND THE ROOT CAUSE WAS THE TIME CLOCK IN THE DASHBOARD. LIGHT STAYED OFF WHEN CLOCK WAS REPLACED (REPEATED TWICE WITH ORIGINAL TIME CLOCK). LIGHT IS OFF SINCE 1 WEEK AFTER MULTIPLE CAR TRIPS. WHY DOES THE TIME CLOCK CAUSES THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON AND POTENTIALLY DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.

THE REAR END MAKES ALOUD LIKE WHISH SOUND WHEN DRIVING. THE HATCHBACK WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE KEY YOU HAVE TO CRAWL INTO THE BACK AND HAVE SOMEONE AT THE REAR OF THE CAR TO PULL WHILE SOME IS ON THE IN SLIDING THE SPRING . THE REAR PLUG CAUGHT ON FIRE EVERY SINCE THEN R.P.M WILL NOT STAY UNDER 2 1/2 THE ACCELERATOR GOES UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVE IT STICK THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT SHUT OFF THE WIPER FLUID WILL NOT WORK WE HAVE CHECK ALL FUSE AND NONE ARE BLEW. WHEN THE FIRE HAPPENED THE BULB IN THAT WAS NOT EVEN BLEW THE DASH SMELL LIKE IT BURNING AND GETS VERY HOT. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICAL, THE ONE LISTED ABOVE. BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE THE PART IN UNAVAILABLE... HOW AM I SUPPOST TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM IF I CAN'T GET IT FIXED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING. AND, SMOKE BEGAN TO COME FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND I PARKED THE CAR IN FRONT OF A STORE.. I OPENED THE HOOD AND A MIST OF SMOKE WAS FLOWING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS GOING TO GO UP IN FLAMES BECAUSE IT SMELLED LIKE BURNING WIRES. I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR EVERYDAY SO I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I ALSO SAW OIL LEAKING FROM THE MANIFOLD. I ASKED MY BROTHER TO SEE IT AND THAT'SWHAT HE TOLD ME. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR HOME. I DROVE IT SLOWLY HOME. *TR

I HAD DEALER RUN DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY SAID THE AIR BAG SYSTEM CHECKS OUT JUST FINE AND WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY, BUT ARE AT A LOSS AS TO WHY THE LIGHT STAYS ON. FURTHER TROUBLESHOOTING WILL INVOLVE REMOVING THE DASH AND AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY. SHOULDN'T THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BE COVERED UNDER SAFETY RECALL? *TR

CAR SPUN 180 AND ROLLED 360 OFF ROAD (ROLLED OVER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, SHATTERING THE LEFT REAR PASS WINDOW, COMING TO REST ON WHEELS).

DRIVER SUSTAINED MULTIPLE INJURIES INCLUDING 5 BROKEN RIBS AND A BROKEN BACK IN 7 PLACES.
