list of Aveo recalls by model year

[mercurial]

I recently went to the dealership because our airbag light was still coming on after they'd tried turning it off a couple of times. Turns out the airbag mechanism... not sure what you call it, that is affixed to the bottom of the passenger seat needs replacement and you can't just replace the mechanism - they said they have to REPLACE THE WHOLE PASSENGER SEAT!! at $1,000 and some change to get the airbags working again :/

Any suggestions would be much appreciated... Don't feel safe driving the little thing without any airbags but don't want to fork over a third of what the car is worth either to have a safe car again.... sigh*

Thanks

It is a little connector under the passenger seat. The dealership replaced it under warranty, and I have not had any problems with it in over 15,000 miles. I would seriously get a second or third opinion from another dealership. It sounds like they are trying to scam you.
