Service air bags light remains lit. I took the car to the dealership yesterday regarding a constant warning light indicating a malfunction of the air bag system. The service manager stated that it was caused by a defective airbag module and wiring harness. At that time, I was informed that the front air bags would not deploy in the event of an accident that required airbags.repairs would cost over $1100. Nothing was done to the vehicle to cause this malfunction.

Takata recall. I have a 2010 Chevy Malibu that should be included into the takata recall. I just purchased this car two weeks ago and "service air bag" came on while I was driving. After further investing, GM never issue an actual recall for the 2010 Chevy Malibu. Instead they created a "Malibu safety program" that only includes 2010 Chevy Malibu ending in the VIN numbers of: A4100001 A4166698 AF100056 and AF271265. My VIN number isn't included in this list. Therefore I have to pay out of pocket. For an issue that is out of my control.

Faulty passenger presence module, airbag warning fault light on.. the dealership recommended the replacement of the module at my own expense of $800. I feel that my family and my safety is at risk due to a faulty design that GM is aware of with its airbag components. Airbags should be working for the life of the vehicle, and if they are failing the manufacturer should replace those faulty designed parts at no expense to the owners.

My "service air bags" light kept coming on and then remaining on continually. I found a letter written by the director of customer & relationship services at Chevy back in 2010 that addressed this problem and stated that "to enhance side impact protection, your GM dealers will update the wiring harness for both front seat side impact airbags. This service will be performed for you at no charge." I contacted the dealer at messer Chevy in lubbock, tx, and also customer service at Chevy. I opened up case #8-2314213550 on 8/19/16, and I was told to get a diagnostics done at the dealer, which I did. I then found out the case had been arbitrarily closed the same day it was opened! now Chevrolet states that the case was reopened on 9/7/16. I just want the problem fixed free of charge since the previous owner should have taken care of this when Chevy was offering the "soft recall" repair at no charge. Chevy called it a customer satisfaction program at the time to avoid an airbag recall media hype. I assume this isn't related to any takata airbag problem, but it is a potential safety hazard! I am getting the runaround from both Chevrolet and the dealer, and I just the problem resolved. The dealer turned off the warning light, but no repairs have been done to date!

My service airbag light recently came on. It started only coming on when a passenger would get in or out of the car. Now the light is on and sends me a notification that states "service airbag" across the display on the dashboard just under the speedometer. The light comes on as soon as I start my car and remains on. My vehicle has never been involved in an accident and the airbags have never deployed. Why is the service airbag notification coming on?

1 year ago my car flashed ESC service traction control reduce engine power and reduced my spend to 40mph on a busy interstate! called GM stated what happen and I knew they had a recall but of course my cars VIN was not included in the recall. Brought the car to a local GM dealer ship to put on machine to see if any codes would show up nothing came up!!! I was told the message would have to be showing to service vehicle. Well here we are a year later with the car in the shop because my car reduces engine power without warning stalls and my ESC service traction reduce engine power came on message board but did not stay after I turned key of course because it shut the car off after 2-5 minutes. I have video of it reading ESC traction service but that does not help! car now needs a new timing chain and has metal in the oil! mind you of I wouldve been able to service the ESC traction control could this all have been avoided? my car was in the shop maybe 6 months ago and was put on the machine to get codes minor codes came up and not the ESC traction control reduce engine power. Called GM today and was told my milage played part in this but I doubt that only because at 68000 it flashed ESC and shut off on me without warning so now they will contact the shop. They need to recall these vehicles it is a hazard to be on the road! we can not afford a new vehicle car this car was brand new but has been problem after problem ! headlights go out all the time airbag light stays on even after being fixed 3 times trunk does not open defroster thats a joke I could go on and

Takata recall-my air bag light has been on since shortly after I purchased the vehicle in Aug. 2011. I am terrified if I am in an accident they won't deploy and myself or a passenger may be seriously injured. My son and I were coming back home from denver and my car started acting strange like it was going to die and it sure did while we were almost out of eisenhower tunnel on the West end, we were almost rear ended by an 18 wheeler! thank god he made it around us safely and no accident occurred. I am sure I reported this already shortly after it happened and never received a response in any shape or form. I was able to get the car started after about ten minutes and drove home without any further problems, was shaking like a leaf all the way....my son too. I have also had problems with the car shimmering when I apply the brake at 55-60 mph and it isn't just a little its sever and doesn't stop until I get back under that speed, I am afraid of loosing control. I do want to say I am very disappointed in the car, I bought it because I believed it would be a great vehicle to own and I was proud to drive it....the Chevrolet emblem meant something to me. I doubt I would ever buy another one, I would be afraid to! it is so sad that the quality of products and the pride in the manufacturing of them has taken a back seat to profit.....the recalls in this country are ridiculous! can't recall specifc date as to tunnel incident, its been a few years back, the other two problems have been happening since I purchased the vehicle in 2011

First repair, airbag service required. The dealership claimed it was a loose wire. 2nd repair, ESC maintenance required, traction service required, engine power reduced, vehicle will not leave neutral. If gas is applied vehicle jumps and shakes. 3rd is same as 2nd and 4th visit is same as previous except when I received ownership of the vehicle it could not make it out of the parking lot. After mentioning the lemon law the dealership is now trying to blame this technically 5th visit on an ignition coil even though ESC maintenance message was displayed with traction control, engine pwr reduced, the vehocle was still shakig, and now the check engine light is on when it wasn't before.
