Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu

My car was running in the drive when it died and would not restart. Everything went dead. I had to jump start it and after that the airbag light came on. The airbags will not deploy in the event of an accident with this light on. I took my car to a chevy dealer where I was charged $80. 00 to be told that the sdm airbag module needs replaced and estimated cost for this is $1100. 00. My car only has 108232 miles on it and to know that it could cost me either my families life or $1100. 00 everytime the battery dies is not a choice anyone should have to make. Airbags are supposed to be the most dependable part of a vehicle as it saves so many lives. How do I know if they are even working with the light off if it is this sensitive? I am afraid to drive the vehicle even if I get it fixed and since I just purchased the car recently I owe to much to try to buy anything else. How can part of the safety equipment fail so easily and not be on recall? what would have happened if it had died while I was driving down the road instead of in the driveway putting the car into gear? after leaving the dealership it now has a new code but I am afraid to drive it to find out what else is wrong.

Air bag warning light came on after replacing battery. Car has 25000 miles on it. Air bags will not deploy when warning light is on. Dealer charging $940. To replace air bag module. This seems to be a common problem with Chevrolet Malibu. Numerous complaints on internet. Needs to be a recall or special program repair issued by gm.

Had an accident on 5/24/2018 it was a head on collision where the at fault driver broke the light and ran in yo my car the air bag did not deploy I sustained a fractured ankle and a neck injury due to the accident.

I was turning from a private drive and collided with another vehicle. I was in a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu LS travelling at approximately 15mph, the other driver in a 2010 Honda accord travelling at approximately 45-55mph. The collision was between my front left and his front right, no passengers. No air bags deployed from either vehicle, and as mine did not deploy, I received a concussion when the back of my head broke the driver's side window. I don't know if this is part of takata, as I cannot find the manufacturer of my car's airbags. Chevrolet provided no information as to the manufacturer or why at least the curtain airbag would not have deployed to prevent concussion.

My 2013 Chevrolet Malibu was involved in a head on collision and the airbags did not deploy. The vehicle was in motion at the time of the wreck.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet. The contact stated that while his wife stopped, a vehicle rear ended her causing her to crash into the rear of the vehicle in front of her. The air bags failed to deploy. There was a police report filed. The contact sustained injuries to the front of her head, the back of her head, the lower back and across the chest that required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to a dealer. The vehicle was not totally destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000. Sh.

I was riding in the car with my wife and cousin heading to her brothers house. We had just drove from out of town after visiting some family members and was taking my cousin back home. While driving I notice the car electrical system acting up it would say I needed to put air in the tire or the back tire was not functioning correctly. It also would say I needed to put my seat belt on when it was on. But this was not my biggest concern my wife while driving ran off the road a struck a tree head on. Had she had been driving faster then what she was going I fell as if she would have been severely injured. The airbags never came out and this was a concern because who knows how many vehicles are affected by this. I thank god that her injuries were not that serve as well as my cousin and I, although pain will heal the pain of losing a love one will never heal. So I ask that you look into because this is a safety concern, I know if had my wife been told that her airbags may or may not deploy she would have never brought the car. . . . . . .

I lost control of my car and stuck a tree head on the frame of the car was bent and my radiator was pushed back into the engine. My air bags never deployed and this concerns me after hearing about all the recalls that gm had.

Waiting at a corner for a clear spot to cross five lane road. Was watching a truck with a snow plow wanting to turn onto same road that I needed to cross. Looked both ways and then back at the truck. The truck did not move so I proceeded and I only made it just beyond the turn lane and got hit by another car. I tried as fast as I could to stay in the turn lane but still got hit. Other driver did not try to avoid us. We were hit hard in the right front of our car. The speed limit on the road I wanted to cross is 55 mph so we were hit pretty hard. Now this is where we get mad. Our airbags did not deploy. My wife and I were shaken very bad. We each have a doctors appointments as we are very sore and stiff.
