MY KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION BETWEEN THE "ACCESSORY" SETTING AND HAVING THE CAR RUNNING. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM; RECOMMENDED FIX WAS TO REMOVE FUSE FOR RADIO, SO I DID. I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE KEYS FROM IGNITION BUT WHEN I WAS READY TO LEAVE AGAIN I COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 'PARK.' I PUT THE RADIO FUSE BACK IN, AND MY GEARSHIFT & TRANSMISSION WORK PERFECTLY. EVERY TIME I GET OUT OF MY CAR I HAVE TO PULL THE RADIO FUSE OUT, REMOVE MY KEYS, THEN INSTALL THE RADIO FUSE AGAIN SO THAT I CAN GET OUT OF 'PARK' WHEN I NEED TO DRIVE LATER. *TR

BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS AIRBAG LIGHTS REMAIN ON NO MATTER IF PARKED OR DRIVING. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE WORKING. FEAR THAT BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. FEEL GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE, DEALERS ARE CLUELESS, I DO NOT INTENT TO HAVE THIS FIXED OR EVEN DIAGNOSED BASED ON THE SHEER QUANTITY OF SAME/SIMILAR COMPLAINS WITH NO CLEAR CUT RESOLUTION. PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES WHETHER SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT, DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES NO MATTER IF PARKED, RUNNING, IN REVERSE, NEUTRAL, OR DRIVE. I SERIOUSLY HOPE THIS CAR DOESN'T KILL ME. SEEMS WITH ALL OF THE AIRBAG SAFETY RECALLS, THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE ADDED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE DEATH. *TR

MY CHEVROLET AVEO 2006 AUTOMOBILE HAS SEVERAL ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. MY CAR HAS ISSUES WITH SHIFTING AND IT SUDDENLY SPEEDS UP FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALL OF THE TIME. I TIGHTEN THE GAS CAP AS THE MANUAL STATES AND IT REMAINS ON. ALSO, THERE COULD BE POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS LINE AS THE CAR IS MAKING A LOUD SOUNDS WHEN I ACCELERATE AND SMELLS LIKE GAS. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE LAST YEAR AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY MAIL WHEN PARTS WERE READY. AFTER 6 MONTHS, I CONTACTED CHEVROLET WHO REPLIED THAT THE PARTS WERE STILL NOT READY AFTER NO RESPONSE FROM CHEVROLET. I HAD TO DO THE LEG WORK MYSELF. THEIR ABSOLUTE DISREGARD FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION IS UTTERLY REPREHENSIBLE. PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED OR INJURED BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF OR INABILITY TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION. *JS
