general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

I started my vehicle on January 11, 2013 and the "service airbag" light came on in the information center in my dash. I took the car to horne auto in show low, az, where I bought the car, on January 18, 2013 to have it looked at and was told that it would not be covered under the extended warranty that I had purchased and was told it would be approximately $730 to fix. I went home and got the information from my local mechanic to contact gm about the problem. I was told there was a bulletin sent out that I had until November 30, 2012, to get said problem fixed. In researching this bulletin on safercar. Gov, this bulletin was sent out November 1, 2012. Since I never received the bulletin and didn't know about the problem until January 11, I was told I would have to pay for the fix out of my own pocket. I put in a complaint to gm and was then told I could get it fixed for half the cost since gm was going to cover the other half. I put in another complaint to gm to have them fix the problem, seeing this is a safety issue for my kids that I drive around in this vehicle, I do not believe I should have to pay anything for a safety issue that is not my fault and that gm knows about. I don't want anyone else to have to pay for this issue either. I am still waiting for gm to resolve this issue.

Light on dash console randomly comes on alerting that there is an issue with the air bag system and also reminding me that I need to put on my seat belt when my seat belt is already fastened properly. These issues have been present for almost the entire life of the vehicle but I have caught hell from the chevy dealerships to have them corrected and am very dissatisfied and will never purchase another chevy product as this seems to be a common problem.

Breaks fail emergency stop with about 150 feet from accident and airbag was delayed in deployment.
