2007 Chevrolet Malibu airbags problems

Filed Aug 5, 2024 · Acceleration, Airbags · MO

I was driving and lost power randomly it came back in less than a minute but just lost power could certainly cause an accident... And the service airbag light is on and seemingly has the same issues as the 2010 Malibu Maxx which was recalled and replaced free of charge and frankly I don't have the 1200 $ to make sure it doesn't kill me I'm not sure why with as many 2007s that this is an issue in why it isn't recalled...

I used to get a warning to "service airbags" on the stereo display, and a chime, typically when I first started up the car. This started when I was living in southern illinois. I drove with my backpack on the passenger seat, and occasionally that seat would chime for passenger to buckle up. The service air bag message would stay up for about 5 miles of driving, then would not illuminate again. Finally caught it in the act, got it to a dealership, where they told me their diagnostic came up with a passenger seat occupancy sensor was failing/had failed. The only remedy offered was to clear the computer, or consider a brand new passenger seat (which at that time exceeded the estimated blue book value). Clearing the computer of that trouble code lasted about a week. Couldn't offer more info such as if the airbag wouldn't deploy if needed, or if it was like a jack-in-the-box and might trip unnecessarily. That was almost 5 years ago, this summer it stopped advising me of the need for service. I'm not sure if the sensor finally gave out, or if some component(s) were damaged in a collision that ripped off the bumper this winter.

The is a message that comes across the radio screen to service airbag. It is referring to the front passenger airbag. When there is a passenger in the front seat the airbag on light does not come on the indicator located above the radio. It continues to state the airbag is off. According to my local dealership the part required to fix the problem is discontinued by gm and there are no aftermarket part for this. The dealership stated that it is a module. My vehicle does not have any current recalls to my knowledge. My concern is this is an important feature to have and there being no replacement part is troubling.

My body control module went out. I just parked one day and when I went back out to start it the next day it was broken. I love my malibu and it has been parked for a month. I lost my job because of it. I have a disabled husband and two kids. I believe my vehicle broke because of these recalls. I don't have the money to fix it and am begging for your help. Please help me to get my car fixed for free. Text or call me @ [xxx]. I don't know where else to turn information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

This vehicle has a safety design fault where the passenger pressence sensor(pps) defaults causing the airbag light to come on dissabling the whole whole airbag protection system. This car shares the same parts with the 2007 saturn aura whose model has been safety recalled for te pps.
