I know people of 150 lbs that can't turn on the airbags in my 2008.

2008 Aveo5 SV
I will think of a better signature later.
I think that it's a connecting pin to your passenger seat airbag. My 2010 had the airbag light come on and I took it to the stealership. They did it under warranty, though they took forever to do it. That was several months ago, and no problems so far. It seems to be a defect in many Aveos, but it can be resolved easily.
actually my 2005 wave was recalled....
they re routed a coolant line next to the that black hose that connects to the intake im not sure how to descirbe it but they said it helps with starting in the cold weather.
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.
I just received Recall information from GM for my 2010:
2010 Pontiac G3/Wave Degraded Connection between Ignition Coil Spark Plug Boots and Spark Plugs.
I'm not sure if this includes the Aveo as well but I imagine it does. Also this isn't really that bad of a recall either, new spark plugs and wires for me!
2010 Pontiac G3: Rear Lip Spoiler | Aftermarket Power Door Locks | Vinyl Side Stripes | Accented Interior
I got the same letter for my 2011 Aveo5. Ironically, it had a spark knock/stall if i drove around, and kept shutting it off, and turning it on again. Like running errands. After the fix it was fine for a week....then it did it again for a few months. one day it started to knock, i pulled the clutch, revved and dropped the clutch (bad i know)- but now it stopped the knocking. That was a year ago....![]()
You are the only one with it
That would be funny if they only recalled a couple of cars on a recall.....
Not the only one. Got a letter in the mail today telling of a voluntary recall for the same problem on my 2011 Aveo, so check the mail, as yours may be coming soon....
You are getting new parts, you should be happy![]()
