2008 Chevrolet Aveo

MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS AIRBAG ISSUES AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUE WITH MY AIRBAGS HAPPENED LAST YEAR AROUND THIS TIME. I TOOK CAR TO CHEVY SERVICE CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO REPLACE WHOLE FRONTAL AIRBAG SENOR AND OTHER SYSTEMS. IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK CAR TO CHEVY SERVICE CENTER AND THERE WERE NUMEROUS FAULT CODES PARTICULARLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY BELIEVE THERE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE SYSTEM BUT THEY WERE SUGGESTING I REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR. I ASKED GM TO DO A FULL SYSTEM CHECK ON MY AIRBAG SYSTEM BUT THEY REFUSED. I COULD NOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS SO I DID NOT HAVE THE ISSUE FIX. ALSO, I WAS NOT CONVINCED THAT IT WOULD HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT 100% SURE SINCE THERE WERE NUMEROUS FAULT CODES. THE NEXT ISSUE IS HARD TO DESCRIBE BUT WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR JERKS AND SHAKES AND ALMOST SHUTS DOWN AND STARTS BACK UP AT THE SAME TIME. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER I AM STANDING BY A LIGHT OR FULLY IN DRIVE MODE. I TOOK CAR TO SHOP BUT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE ISSUE BECAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON AND IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. ONLY WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR FOR MORE THAN AN 30 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON., DASHBOARD CLOCK AND CD RADIO ALSO WENT OUT. THE CHEVROLET SERVICING DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE SERVICE CODES REFLECTED A SHORT IN WIRING AND THE DASHBOARD HAS TO BE REMOVED TO CHECK THE WIRE HARNESS FOR THE SHORT. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $315 , MANAGER CONTINUED TO STATE ALSO THE SENSOR MODULE FOR THE AIRBAG MAY BE DEFECTIVE. WHY DO THEY CHARGE FOR DIAGNOSIS WHEN THEIR DIAGNOSIS MEASURES CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND WANT TO CHARGE ANOTHER $315 FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS?I WITH THE I'VE CHECKED WITH OTHER AVEO OWNERS AND SOME HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I DO BELIEVE THERE IS A FAULT WITH THIS CAR. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IF THEIR IS AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR. *TR
