2007 Chevrolet Aveo 4-DR. w/SAB Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2007 Chevrolet Aveo 4-DR. w/SAB

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

No
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
""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 toil with the question about why america lost its place in the auto industry? we need go no further than right here."

Complaint:
"airbag light came on and has stayed on for 2 months. unable to detect what is wrong with electronic reader. airbags are disengaged, and i can't find out why without paying more money than i have to spend because each component has to be checked, and that doesn't include actually fixing the problem, just figuring out what the problem is. i've seen that many people have complained about this. passenger airbag sensor started acting weird/ not working first. occurred around 100 k miles. when will a recall happen? this is apparently a common safety issue."
Components Involved: AIR BAGS
Date of incident: 2018-03-05
Complaint:
"the air bag warning light came on while driving 20mph while turning and has never went off (started around 125,000miles). i took it to the local mechanic, he checked wires and hooked it up to a diagnostic machine and believes it is either the module or the sensor in the seat, but can't/won't give an exact cause. when i tried to contact gm they kept saying i was just going off what the internet said and needed to see a dealer. just made it feel like that didn't care about my safety or the safety of any one in one of these vehicles. *tr"
