1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2024

I was driving and lost power randomly it came back in less than a minute but just lost power could certainly cause an accident. . . And the service airbag light is on and seemingly has the same issues as the 2010 Malibu maxx which was recalled and replaced free of charge and frankly I don't have the 1200 $ to make sure it doesn't kill me I'm not sure why with as many 2007s that this is an issue in why it isn't recalled. . .

When I was driving on a city street getting read to pick up my sibiling from schooli received a notification on the radio display that said power steering off then it was very difficult to turn my wheel and almost got in an accident.

8 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/24/2017

This is issue has been happening since late December and has progressively gotten worse! while driving (whether on highway at 60+ mph or in town doing under 40mph), power steering will go out multiple times; along with fuel gage will consistently show empty. Also while driving the airbag indication light will go from airbag on to air bag off several times. The only thing that remedys the power steering going out is to turn the car off and then back on, sometimes more than once.

Failure Date: 08/21/2015

I called gm 800-222-1020 to report the airbag on my 2007 chevy Malibu airbag keeps coming on an off on 8/22/15 I called the 1st time no one called me I called on 8/25/15 and I called today 8/31/15. I was told that I needed to pay for the diagnoses. . . I dont think that is fair why would the air bags on a car go out????? I was told on the phone that I did not have to pay now the story changes. I fear for my life driving this car, knowing that if I crash I could die. Also I dont think I got alllll the recalls fixed in my car. Please help. I keep on getting the run arounds.

Failure Date: 07/20/2015

Airbag trouble light would come on from time to time, now the light stays on, and passenger airbag does not come on while seat is occupied. Very concerning as I do not know if I have airbags or not. Seems that a large number of people are having the same issue.

11 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2015

1 year ago I was driving and I got hit in the side. For some reason the airbags didn't deploy and I got hit pretty hard because the driver driver side doors were not able to open. I drove home with and they said that it was fixable although it didn't look like it. Its fixed now but ive always had my suspicion that it is part of the recall. It was moving, on a street, about to turn when she hit me. I did not brake.

17 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/09/2013

That morning about 10:30 am, traffic was slowing during light rainy road conditions on interstate 70, westbound, in st. Charles, missouri, when the driver of the car in which I was the only passenger, applied his brakes to slow down and slid into the back of the car in front of us, colliding the front end of the Malibu into the rear end of the Mazda sedan in front of us, twice impacting the Mazda sedan, totaling the Chevrolet Malibu in which I was the passenger. At no time did any air bags in the Malibu deploy. I suffered a torn meniscus in my left knee which remains scarred and periodically painful. The two passengers in the Mazda may have been injured, as well. Medical attention was required but not at the accident scene. A missouri highway patrol officer was dispatched to the scene. Both vehicles were towed.

21 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2007

I purchased this vehicle may 2007. It had been used by a precious owner. Since I have owned this car the sign "service air bag" has been lighting up since I purchased it. I don't know if this car has been in a prio accident. I do know that there is a fraudulent situation taking place where wrecked vehicles are not replaced with the proper air bags, but with other items, such as shoes, etc. I know this for a fact because my son in law did this. So I am concerned about the air bags.

22 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2007

I purchased this vehicle July 2007. It was a used vehicle. From the first day of purchase the words "passenger air bag needs service" show up on the screen.
