I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WHENEVER I GO TO PUT GAS IN MY CAR, SOME OF IT GOES ON THE GROUND. NOT ALL OF THE GAS GOES ON THE GROUND, BUT A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT I PURCHASED. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT I CAN'T HARDLY SEE WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT. ALSO, MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON? THERE'S ONE THERE AND NOTHING BIGAMY WRONG WITH IT THAT I CAN SEE. THE STEREO.....ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SPEAKER WORKS, THE OTHER THREE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL....PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE FEW THINGS OR GIVE ME SOME SORT OF IDEA OF WHAT I CAN DO

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. AN HOUR LATER WHEN IT WAS STARTED AGAIN, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO COME ON AND REMAIN INOPERABLE. BULBS, SWITCH, AND RELAY HAVE ALL BEEN CHECKED AND VERIFIED TO BE OPERABLE.

Air Bags
03/22/2010
"TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2009. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. WHEN I CHECKED THE VIN NUMBER IT WAS NOT AMONG THE MANY, MANY AVEOS TAGGED FOR RECALL TO REPLACE FAULTY AIRBAG SYSTEMS. AND I'M NOT ALONE. COMPLAINTS KEEP PILING IN FROM AVEO OWNERS ABOUT THE AIRBAG SAFETY LIGHTS THAT NEVER TURN OFF, NEARLY CATCHING UP WITH 20 YEARS OF "COMPLAINTS INVOLVING TAKATA INFLATORS..." MY CAR WAS PARKED WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL BACKED INTO MY PASSENGER DOOR. THE COLLISION WAS SO SEVERE THE DOOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. YET IT TRIGGERED NO AIRBAGS. DID YOU KNOW WHILE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ENGAGED, THE CAR CANNOT BE SOLD? YOU THINK THIS MIGHT BE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT INDICATES A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM - THAT MOST PROMINENT FEATURE IN AVEO'S HIGHLY TOUTED "5-POINT" SAFETY RATING? SO WHAT'S ITS RATING WITHOUT AIRBAGS? OR DO WE NEED A HIGHER BODY COUNT BEFORE THE MAKERS AND SAFETY REGULATORS ARE WILLING TO TALK ABOUT THAT? NEED WE REALLY...
