Have had problems with the fuel sensor, thought it was fuel level sensor but apparently from all others reports these are several problems with the fuel system. This causes the check engine light to come on and will not allow the remote start to work. Also have problems with sensor in passenger seat. Just works randomly. Very concerned this will interfere with air bag deployment. All of these things were fixed while still under warranty but started doing it again after it expired and too costly to fix on my own.

My 4 year old son was in the vehicle with me helping to clean out the car when he was able to put the car into drive without any keys or anything. Luckily, I was in the car and was able to get the car back into park but only after it hit a fence and damaged the vehicle because of this issue. I am able to put the vehicle into drive while the car was not running and there were no keys in it. There have also been several instances where I was able to leave it in drive after turning the car off and taking the keys out. It will also allow you to put the vehicle into drive without pressing the brake first. There have been several computer related issues that have also began to happen such as the gas gauge not working properly. It says that I am on empty when in fact the tank is full. The air bag indicator switches back and forth from on to off so I never know if my air bag is actually on or off. All of these issues occur on a daily basis. No repairs have been made to the vehicle.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet malibu. The contact stated that whenever the vehicle was driven near a wifi connection, the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the failure did exist but could be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000. The current mileage was approximately 36,000.
I recently leased a 2007 malibu. The passenger side airbag does not work when a cushion is placed on it to give my wife the height so she can see. Apparently the sensors are set to a heavy weight, so if there are small people such as children in the front passenger seat the airbag safety system will not activate if they sit on a cushion. I spoke to gm customer service people in detroit, and they said they had never heard of this. It seems to me that in designing a safety system, consideration should be given to smaller and lighter people, or have a fix available so the system works.
