Mid/rear Seats Assembly problems of the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu

A little over a year ago we noticed the drivers side power seat seemed to be moving at times. It has since broken loose from part of the frame. As long as the seat is in the down position it sits kinda steady. Any attempt to move it up or down causes it to become dislodged. It happens regardless of the motion of the car. About the same time frame, the rear door locks started acting up. Depends on their attitude of the day, they either will not lock or unlock by remote or switch. Only way to access the rear seat area is to roll the window down and reach in from outside to unlock since the lock button is not located in a handy spot. Could see a large problem in an accident with children in the backseat needing to exit quickly. Have not reported to dealer as the blogs have numerous complaints and stories that are being ignored by the manufacturer. Seat malfunction is a huge safety concern if any other bracing fails and car is in motion.

The contact owns 2009 Chevrolet Malibu LS. The contact stated that the rear middle seat bolster contained polyethylene and she was concerned about the safety hazard. In the event a fire occurred, the polyethylene could burn her skin. The contact replaced the bolster. The manufacturer was contacted; however, they would not offer any assistance, since the bolster was cut. The VIN information was not available. The failure mileage was not available and the current mileage was 30,000.
