Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Malibu

The air bag is going off and I looked it up and they want lots of money for this problem and it happens in so many Malibu's of this year and even more years. I'm just worried it's a safety hazard when I'm driving myself and girlfriend or anyone else for that matter. What if the sensor is bad and it doesn't deploy if needed.

I used to get a warning to "service airbags" on the stereo display, and a chime, typically when I first started up the car. This started when I was living in southern illinois. I drove with my backpack on the passenger seat, and occasionally that seat would chime for passenger to buckle up. The service air bag message would stay up for about 5 miles of driving, then would not illuminate again. Finally caught it in the act, got it to a dealership, where they told me their diagnostic came up with a passenger seat occupancy sensor was failing/had failed. The only remedy offered was to clear the computer, or consider a brand new passenger seat (which at that time exceeded the estimated blue book value). Clearing the computer of that trouble code lasted about a week. Couldn't offer more info such as if the airbag wouldn't deploy if needed, or if it was like a jack-in-the-box and might trip unnecessarily. That was almost 5 years ago, this summer it stopped advising me of the need for service. I'm not sure if the sensor finally gave out, or if some component(s) were damaged in a collision that ripped off the bumper this winter.

Passenger presence module failure r&r pps module w/sensor w/heated seats, (inlcudes: calibration, r&I seat) program pps module is this a common failure for this make and model of vehicle? is their a recall shceduled to be released to repair this component?.

Several times when starting my car my seatbelt light stayed on and chimed. There was a display on my radio that read, service airbag. I checked my manual and read that the air bag doesn't need maintenance service and if the light stayed on, something with the electrical system may be the fault. It suggested that sensor's may be at fault in different area's of the car and to sit upright. I made sure when getting back in my car to sit as far back as possible in the seat. It didn't come on, but has reoccurred several times since the first time. With the recent recalls, I am wondering if this is also under that recall with the ignition and seatbelts.

The "service air bag warning" comes on. A sensor, located under the front passenger seat, was replaced some months ago. We are having the same problem again. The problem is the same sensor. I have spoken to to others with the same model car and some said they had to have the sensor replaced, as well.

The airbag sensor comes on periodically and says it needs serviced. I never know if my airbag is working or not. It is intermittant. This is an important safety issue.

The following codes are active; p0463 fuel level sensor a circuit high input, b0561 abs $43 sys disabled and c0561 sys disabled issues. The fuel gauge was fluctuating, but has now stopped working. The service engine soon light came on and will not reset to off. The service seat belt warning message came on. The problems were intermittent prior to 50,000 miles, but now, just after 50,000 miles nothing resets. I have found that this is a common problem and the repairs are very expensive, yet nothing has been done to convince gm to recall and make repairs. We own a 2006 Malibu with 35,000 miles on it. Now, I'm worried that it is going to have the same problem as our 2007 Malibu. And, who wants to face those repair bills!.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu maxx. The airbag module light failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The technician made repairs to the module at the owners expense. The failure mileage was 50000. The current mileage was 60000.

Have had problems with the fuel sensor, thought it was fuel level sensor but apparently from all others reports these are several problems with the fuel system. This causes the check engine light to come on and will not allow the remote start to work. Also have problems with sensor in passenger seat. Just works randomly. Very concerned this will interfere with air bag deployment. All of these things were fixed while still under warranty but started doing it again after it expired and too costly to fix on my own.
