Service air bag light keeps displaying no accidents or damage at all.

Air bag light constantly coming on. In all state. In motion and standing still. .

When the car in motion. The steering makes a loud noise when turning the wheel. And the air bag indicator just popped on. Stating service the vehicle.

I have had 2 front end collision with wild hogs the second was real bad. The entire front end on the passenger side including the door had to be replaced. The airbag never exploded neither time. When I purchase the vehicle in 2012 or 13 the air bag light would come on but go of for awhile. I complained about it to the dealer but they would always say nothing is wrong with it.

The contact took the vehicle to dick genthe Chevrolet (866-874-7380, located at 15600 eureka rd, southgate, mi 48195) and the contact was asked if she wanted the vehicle repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 15v269000 (seat belts). The contact approved the recall repairs. Six days later, the contact was informed that the vehicle was not ready and she was not allowed to see or retrieve the vehicle. The contact was called two hours later to pick up the vehicle. When the vehicle was staerted, the air bag indicator illuminated. The technician informed the contact that the failure made the vehicle unsafe to drive and it needed to be diagnosed. The contact stated that there was no air bag failure with the vehicle prior to the repairs.

I was driving straight on the interstate when the cruise control deactivated itself. The seat belt light stays lit most of the time. It says service air bag and traction system. Traction system light goes off and on, but the air bag light stays on. Doesnt reset even when unhooking the battery and rehooking it up. Car makes rattling noise from front end. Pulls hard to the right.

Service esc message - esc off message - and power steering messages come on and I cannot turn my car. Happens multiple times while driving on daily commute and causes me to be put in dangerous situations especially on the expressways. There is not always a place to pull over. These indicators happens whether driving or sitting still. Service air bag message stays on.

The service airbag light keeps coming on. It stays on for a couple days and then goes away. It was on for four days this last time, went away for one day and came back on today. I looked online and it sounds like a lot of other Malibu owners have had the same problem. I decided to look to see if there was any recalls for the airbag sensor and there isn't. Seems like there should be if there are a lot of people having the same issue.

1) service air bag light comes on periodically when starting vehicle or while in auto is in motion. 2) internal lights on dashboard dims while driving periodically while auto is in motion.

Takata recall. Power steering and esc light came on while bcar was warming up for the first time, it comes and goes as it pleases sometimes while in motion, sometimes while stationary, and makes it difficult to turn or steer. It also makes my car feel as if the wheels are about to fall off the front end. My air bag light is also on and won't go off. Guessing it doesn't work. Pulled some codes but nothing for power steering, attached are a few images of a few codes that were pulled. Not all codes.

Service airbag indicator light came on and stayed on. Plan on taking to dealer this week to have it checked.

I have had several issues with the air bag and electronic stability control. I have taken my vehicle in before regarding the issue with the service air bag light before. Just recently the service esc (electronic stability control) light had come on. I called general motors regarding if there any recalls for my vehicle, and was told there are not active recalls, but I should take my vehicle in to have it serviced for the passenger side air bag not working properly (not on). I have also had numerous issues with my tmp(tire pressure monitoring) system as well with regard to low tire pressure that keeps showing the left front tire. When I put air in that tire air pressure is registering in the other tires as well. These are all serious safety concerns that need to be investigated. I don't know if anyone else is experiencing the same problem, but this could possibly lead to serious injuries or death.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving approximately 35 mph, the air bag indicator illuminated and remained lit, which was a safety concern. The vehicle was taken to whisler Chevrolet Cadillac (2200 foothill blvd, rock springs, wy 82901, 307-212-8247) and the contact was informed that there was no recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.

Air bag light stayed on all the time while driving. Provide form to send to general motors to refund me the $700 plus dollars out of pocket to fix the problem.

Air bag light came on and is staying on.

I purchased a 2011 chevy Malibu in 2012. Since the purchase I've experienced issues with the electronic stability control system, the service air bag light has come on while my daughter was sitting in the passenger seat. I was told that the problem with that could possibly be resolved with the recall for the seat belt lap anchor tensioner cable. I have also had issues with the car stalling / losing power after coming to a complete stop and begin to accelerate again into on coming traffic. I have also lost total control due to the power steering going out while driving. When I took my vehicle into the dealership regarding the car stalling, I was told that they could not get the car to duplicate the problem and I left without anything else being don;. I still have the same problem. There should be a recall for this before someone gets seriously injured or killed. I also have a 2011 chevy cruze that I've had numerous issues with, not to mention all of the recalls on it. All of the above issues have been while the car is in motion, while turning, and on highway and city streets. I recently noticed that my back seat is leaking from somewhere. I contacted gm and was told to take it into the dealership. The tech at the dealership tells me that the leak is coming from the molding on the roof of the car and wanted to charge me $200 for the diagnostic after I clearly told them that the leak was not coming from the roof of the car. They took down the headliner anyway and said that they did a test and water could be seen gushing from this area, but yet my seat was not wet as I had told them where the seat gets wet at. There are so many problems with these Malibu's I just want gm to take the car back so that I can purchase a different brand of vehicle.

In Dec 2014 my air bag light went on, dealership states the scan for failure code was b0014. Diagnosis was broken wire under drivers seat. Part used to repair was 12355010, tube 8. 965 along with misc shop supplies. October 25th 2015 "service air bag" light comes on upon turning on the ignition. Brought into dealership and was diagnosed today as a bad sensor, so both air bags are not functioning. Dealership says warranty that s left on the car does not cover safety issues. Dealership says it will cost me less than $500. 00 labor and all the rest of the sensor and parts, supplies is over $1,000. 00, the total repair is over $1,500. 00! this is a 4 year old vehicle and is totally out of line. I have also checked on line and there has been many complaints on this car for air bag problems. What can be done about this? it is truly a hardship.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag on/off indicator failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and it was determined that the pressure sensor for the seat needed to be replaced. The manufacturer stated that the part needed was not under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired.

Service air bag light turned on and has remained on when car was started one day. It was not involved in any accidents, collisions, etc. Coincidentally, the light appeared after the oil was changed and the computer reset for oil change.

I was driving on the highway and my "service airbag" light came on the dash. There was no crash and nothing was hit. I pulled over and turned my car off. I turned the car on a half hour later and the airbag light and message were gone. 90 minutes later the light illuminated again and has stayed on. I called chevy, the said there was no recall, and connected me to the service dept of a dealership, who said this happens all the time, but couldn't give me an estimate of the cost to fix it.

As I was driving down the highway, my service air bag light illuminated. Onstar was called and they diagnosed the car as having an malfunction in the air bag, pulled off to the side of the road and had car towed to nearest dealership. As I was waiting for the tow company to arrive, I tried to start the vehicle after 2 hours to which all lights started flashing and car went completely dead. Note, car was just in the shop 2 days prior for oil change and recall on bcm. Dealership came back with a $1200. 00 estimate for repair or replacement of an airbag. $858. 00 for the airbag replacement and $241. 00 for a new battery. Dealership would not cover this under warranty stating sometimes electronics have issues.

Service airbag light came on when I started my car its been two days now and it hasnt gone away ive never hit anything nor have I been hit by anyone. . .

I was driving and the passenger air bag light came on and will not shut off. I called the dealer and they want to charge me just to look at my car. I have never been in any auto accident for this to even happen. This must be a defective air bag> please check into this matter.

2011 chevy Malibu lt2 with a 4 cylinder engine, 28000 miles, 3-1/2 years old, in excellent condition, out of the blue shows the "service air bag" and the air bag light stays on.

The airbag light came on out of nowhere, and when we took it to our dealership they said that this sometimes happens with the Malibus. They advised us that the "airbag control system" had died and though the car was still driveable that in the event of a collision the airbags would not work. The service to replace the "brain" would cost $1000 parts and labor. After throwing a small fit they "got with the chevy customer team" and were able to do it for just cost of parts ($400 +/-). We paid for the service, after much complaining, and the car has been fine since. We were advised that it is possible it could happen again, but not to worry because the parts carried a 1 year warranty, yippee. After doing some research online it seems as though this is a common problem after a hard braking event, that the control box shorts out. I think that if this is a common issue, a recall should be initiated. It wouldn't be a problem if it was something inconsequential, but this is a vital safety component. We had to get it fixed, I'm not letting my wife drive her car without airbags.

Service air bag light came on when vehicle was started. The next morning it did not come on. A couple months later, same issue, service air bag light came on when vehicle was started. It continued to come on every time the vehicle was started for a couple of days. We called the dealer, they said it would cost 400 for the new part and another 200 to "flash" the computer. They also said our airbag would not work as long as this light was on. A couple days later, the light went off and stayed off. Then on 3/26/14, the servie air bag light came on again, and continues to come on every time the vehicle is started. Looks like this is a common issue and since the air bags will not work, it jeopardizes the safety of the vehicle and gm should be responsible for the fix.

Check air bag light came on, then reset itself, windshield wipers on intermittent mode shut off and on again. Reported to chevy dealer, said if light wasn't on they couldn't check it, if the wipers are working properly they couldn't check it. Did this on my last oil change.
