2004 Chevrolet Malibu: airbag warning light

Filed Apr 3, 2018 · Airbags, Driver assistance · TX

My airbag light stays illuminated even though I replaced the airbags. My break lights come on and off while driving without me pushing the breaks. My car for some reason won't come out of park at times. It's like it doesn't know that's it's in park. This has been happening ever since I bought the car used. I looked up recalls on my type of car and there are recalls that match the description I'm saying but when I put in my VIN number it says I have 0 with my car. I'm wondering if I do have recalls on it but none that have been reported yet. Even in park my cars break lights will be illuminated and I can not pull it out of park. Also fuses burn out in my car like a circuit problems. If I turn my car off and then on to see if it registers that it's in park at times my car will make a stalling sound like it's not getting gas or something to restart the car. I would click more on affected parts but only allows 3.

My car had a recall for the electric power assist after fulfilling the recall I started having power steering problems loss of steering airbag light coming on and the power steering coming across the car message center. I went to turn the wheel it turned then when I turned the wheel again the car lost steering and I almost had a crash. The dealership told me that the internal steering gear failed and isn't covered under the warranty recall but it will be 1900.00 dollars to fix it . Gm corporate office told me what do I expect from a 2004 with 150,000 miles on it its old and has excessive miles on it. I asked them why dont they stand by their product they kept saying its a 2004.

Took to gmc for recall. 2/2014 claimed it was fixed. 11/2014 steering wheel hard to turn..now the tires won't turn to the right. Loud clonking noise when I turn the steering. Tires won't turn..near accident. Had car since 1/2014 .took for recalls 2/2014 7/2014 transmission died. 1000+ in repairs. This car is a safety hazard and I am still paying for this car. Something needs to be done so that I don't have to continue to come out of pocket and waste my money.

First of all im waiting on parts for two recalls for my 2004 chevy malibu. I find it a little dangerous and for some reason nobody has been able to give me any information on what I need to do or have no idea when the parts are going to be available. My seat on the driver side feels like it is detached on one side. I have read several complaints about this happening to other people. My car randomly decides to accelerate sometimes. I cannot give you mileage or tell you exact times when it happens because it's about five times a year. I think it's when I'm on cruise control so I find it bizarre that all of a sudden my car starts speeding. I have had my car serviced and even a new engine put in and reset but my service airbag light is still on? My horn will work randomly but not all the time and this makes me feel a little unsafe because a horn is needed for warning people of danger.

I was driving heard a pop and then the airbag light came on. I then noticed the wheel was turned half way and I was still going straight. This was very dangerous thank god I was on a street alone. I took it to the dealer (hove) they told me my extended warrant had expired due to mileage and it was 1300.00 to fix. On top of the issue of safety I also don't have the cash and I need my car. I have seen all the reports from this problem and strongly feel this should be a recalled piece.
