Unknown the air bag on my dash board come on and off all the time even if I have no one sitting in my passenger seat. I got this vehicle for the winter thinking it was going to help me save gas and be a good reliable car for my daily routine to work, school, and my kids school. But it’s definitely the opposite. I’m struggling financially and in a hole now the engine light is on and I can’t get to my destination without going more then 30-40mph because “engine speed reduce” appears on my dash board and reduced the speed and not only is this inconvenient and annoying but also dangerous I dam almost got into accident because of this I was driving in the highway about 65-70 mph when this happen with a 18-wheeler behind me not only was my daughter’s life and mine put in danger. But the person driving the 18-wheeler. He definitely lost somewhat the control to swerve my vehicle it was a miracle of god no other cars where next to us and that nothing happened. Their is so many 2016 Chevrolet Malibu like this that I hope from the bottom of my heart that their is some compassion for this issue where they can make the issue get recalled. To help people like me I’m struggling to make ends meet day to day and I have forcefully have to keep using my car on the daily. I have no other transportation. And like I said not only for my safety but everyone around I am not the only one with this issue if the make in model. Their is hundreds of us !.

Im getting an alert of air bag problem and I received a letter about an airbag problem recall. Also the brake pedal which my husband fixed and a roof water leak which my husband also fixed.

Purchased vehicle from car key autoplex at 13546 method st, dallas TX 75243 (214) 210-9998 in March 2020. Vehicle was involved in previous wreck and owner purchased this vehicle and made repairs. Repairs were verified cause the air bag light stopped coming on. In December 2021 vehicle was involved in a wreck. Auto body shop looked into replacing seat belts. Noticed that seat belts had deployed, one of the seat belts was the wrong one for the vehicle as well as an incorrectly installed bolt for the srs. Had to replace both seat belts and pretensioners and airbag control module installed ($2,250). Then the auto body shop noticed that pigtails were missing and spliced together. Had this fixed at a dealership for $1,800 along with programming of the airbag control module to the vehicle. Owner of car key autoplex said that vehicle was repaired 100% when it wasn’t. He committed fraud and sold us a vehicle that was unsafe for the road and cost me over $4,000 to fix all of this.

My car just stopped cranking and its like I have all the power turned off, I was in my yard. I thought it was the battery, changed it still no change. My airbag repair light keeps coming on and my car had been running fine all day fine until I parked it and everything stopped.

I keep having a service airbag message. I took it to the dealership and they said it's the steering airbag. To fix it is $481. It's not fair to pay this when I got this car brand new and I haven't done anything to the car to make this happen. This should be a recall do to a manufacturer error.

I seen the recall about the air bag on the passenger side of the front seat I'm having a issue like that what can be done to see if it's related to what y�all are recalling thanks and be side that it come on and off on it's own even when no one is seating there.
