general problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Malibu

I am appaled that I have received a recall notice in the mail, and when I go to make the appointment in order to repair the damage, no parts are available until mid October. The recall notice states we should schedule an appointment on or after October 1, 2014. However, what's the point? there are no parts available?.

Steering wheel locked,engine power was lost, brakes would not work. I could not control the vehicle,I hit a poled,borke both legs, have a rod in femur and messed up my knee,still recovering and in awheel chair for now.

Air bags deployed while turning into driveway at about 4 mph, turn signs were working intermittently before this.

My 2000 Malibu recently deployed the airbags while car was parked and engine off. I contacted police thinking the car had been hit, although no damage was visible. The police said that there was no evidence at all that the car had been involved in any suspicious activity. I then contacted the local dealer and they said they would have to remove black box and that I would not be allowed the use of the car for several days. I was treated very rudely when I complained to the gm national office regarding the expense I would incur for rental car because local dealer would not provide loaner. Basically, they said that it was not their problem. I then was talking to a mechanic at a different shop and was told that there is a problem with Malibu's air bags deploying without impact of any kind. He told me about a recent class action lawsuit in oklahoma over this issue. Before I spend the $100's of dollars to fix this, I would like to know if this is a manufacturer's defect.

While driving and upon applying brakes brake pedal went straight to the floorboard, causing extended stopping distance that resulted in a crash. The vehicle was totaled. Consumer states air bag deployment hurt her.

Dealer wants to replace airbag/pistons/door seals.
