The service notification for my airbag was coming on. I took it to a mechanic and they said the module under the passenger seat could be broken. They said to take it to the dealer because other 2017 Chevrolet Malibus have this issue and were recalled. My VIN doesn’t have a recall associated with it, but has the exact issue that the other Malibus with recalls do. I brought it to the dealer and they said it was not included in a recall, but are now charging me full price to get a new module under the seat.

November 2018, I was in a car accident where a vehicle was making an illegal u-turn in the middle of clifton road, as I was coming down clifton road in the turning lane and t-boned my vehicle causing front end damage to the front passenger side of my vehicle. My vehicle was totally shut down and had to be towed away. The vehicle was deemed totaled the following week. All airbags deployed and after reading the report from my insurance company stating that there is an airbag recall on my vehicle, which was allegedly known at the time I purchased my vehicle and no one told me and again by the time I had my last oil change and again no one ever told me. No, I totally lost a vehicle and could have lost my life over airbags that are supposed to be able to save your life.
When I accelerate and try to stop brakes goes down to the floor. I’ve had my rotors. Brakes changed and it’s impossible to stop at times. Purchase vehicle. 2018 and the check engine light came on shortly after I purchased it. It’s been on. I’ve got diagnostics. It’s unknown why! tire sensors has been changed, including with new tires and none of them work and the airbag light is illuminated. I am concerned about my safety in this vehicle. I reported many times and I’m unaware of any recalls. Please help.
My 2017 chevy Malibu has been doing power engine reduced for awhile it's been to the dealership many times for this issue. I have almost been in to multiple car accidents because the car reduces speed while driving shouting my car down to go no faster then 20 mph. This is a major safety issue that chevy is giving me a run around about when obvious the car was sold to me like this. I have warranty on my car and they still have not fixed my car properly leaving me everyday at risk driving this unsafe car that can cause a major car accident especially when it dose it when I'm driving on the freeway which has happened three times already. I have all the paperwork for all the work that has been done to this car which is crazy since it's a new car. I need to know is there a recall on this engine in this car since they cannot fix the problem with my car. The first issue was my airbags then it was the suspension which I was told again the suspension are bad meaning they probably never fixed them along with this engine problem I'm having.
Vehicle moving slowly and almost stationary when struck in driver side rear door area by full size pickup truck with extensive and substantial damage and likely a total loss but no air bag deployed.
