Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the front passenger side airbag system sensor light had remained illuminated indicating that the passenger air bag system was faulty. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer dave white Chevrolet(5880 monroe st. , sylvania OH) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 87,000. Jft.
Passenger side air bag will not reset itself.
First noticed a crease in rear seat side airbags caused by rear door panel resting on it rather than having clearance. After the door had been opened/closed through use over a period of only 6 months, it is beginning to rub a possible hole in the material containing the airbag. Dealership service manager had never seen before and subsequent check of some new Malibus still on the lot revealed that almost all had some sort of indication of the same problem. Don't know what will happen if material on airbag is breached with a hole.
