Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 144, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The airbag don’t work, I just payed 1200$ to replace the computer pc because the car wouldn’t start and that didn’t solve the problem the check engine light is always on, the car have electrical problems; if I run the Ac it blows hot and then the car go to engine power reduces within 4 minutes. If I drive the car it will go on engine power reduce after 6 minutes because the fan is not working due to the fact that that car has electrical problems and the fan is not getting enough power to warm the car up and the engine gets real hot and it go to making a loud rumbling noise and growling and I can only drive 10 mph and 40 mph the fastest but then the car go to shaking and wen I try to park the car it’s shaking Nd rumbling which can cause an accident
The passenger light beam will not come on it also messes with my radio it turns it to the aux I keep replacing the Bub in the harness and it's still not working not not to mention the car felt like a lost of power due to I guess the trance when turning a corner or pulling off. The air bag light comes on a few days and turn off.
It is my understanding that the airbags/side and front are defective for my vehicle? Can someone please help in finding out what I do now...the vehicle and I was involved in a wreak and I was injured badly and was hospitalized.....? I was traveling on the hwy at posted speed when I was struck...first the drivers side and then the l-fender and hood...the vehicle that hit me rolled 3 or 4 times.
From the minute I drove my car off the lot the dash has been saying 'service airbags'. A week ago while I was driving I lost power steering. The dash said 'service ESC' and the traction control light popped up on the dash. If I turn off my car for a while the power steering may still work when I start it back up, but eventually I lose power steering again while driving.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. The contact stated that the rear center brake light failed to illuminate while driving 40 MPH. The contact mentioned that the center brake light was repaired twice. The contact also stated that intermittently the air bags and power steering warning lights were illuminated while driving. Additionally, after starting the vehicle, the steering wheel failed to operate as designed. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and the vehicle regained steering functionality. The contact stated that occasionally two attempts at restarting the vehicle were needed before the steering wheel operated as designed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed however, the technician was unable to retrieve a failure code. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 113,000.*dt consumer stated power steering module and motor has been replaced.
I bought my car used from a buy here pay here and maybe a month or so after buying my car I started noticing different little quirks here and there with my car, like if it's wet outside my brake lights either do not work or it looks like I am riding my breaks, if it's wet out my car hesitants while driving, my check air bags light is on, the traction control signal is on, my steering arm makes a very weird noise sometimes the list goes on and when I decided to check and see if my car had any recalls on it, to my discovery there is at least 4 one just from 2019 and all sounds so very much like what my car has been doing for months. I am hoping to receive some information back on what to do next.
I got into a car accident on 04/08/2020 and the air bag didn't deploy.
I was stopped,went to accelerate,and sudden hard shift as it accelerated. After a few miles,lost all gears after 2nd gear.on interstate at time when lost gears & close to getting into major accident. Took it to asc certified mechanic to learn that the transmission failed,wiring from battery to started burned up,battery failurem alternator failed, and ECM failed as well. Repair cost approx $4600.00. Service airbag light & check engine light on also & p0013 code. Looked up veh history, shows recalls on some of this were supposedly performed, but hard to believe. 6 speed transmission, so gm won't honor.
Passenger airbag light keeps coming on. If I move passenger seat sometimes it goes off. 37,000 miles.
The front passenger side air bag warning light keeps going off. Purchased car used and I am not sure of the problem. I want to be sure that this is a saftey issue for someone in the front seat. No accident yet,but I have concerns. It is on going as to a certain date.
My air bag light keeps going off and coming on. My car wasn't included in the recall that happened at the beginning of the year but I fill as though it should of been.
When driving car air bag light has flashed on and off on three separate occasions each time as soon as steering wheel move position the light goes out there is a recall for the make and model year but my VIN is not listed.
On march 1, 2017 at 28981 miles, the airbag light came on, (not the first time). The next day, the stability control and the ABS lights both also came on. In both occasions the car was moving at about 40 MPH on a city street. I took it to the dealer, they charged me $153 to get a diagnosis.they wanted another $850 to have it fixed. I took it to another shop that did it for $190. These were 2 separate problems, one was the airbag light (a connection under the front passenger seat), and the other was a sensor in the left front wheel (the stability/ABS light).
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. While driving 20 MPH in the snow, the contact crashed into a telephone pole. The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a junkyard. The manufacturer filed a claim for the contact and stated that the air bags should have deployed. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 120,000.
My right front headlight (regular low beam) keeps going out and having to be replaced. My mechanic replaced it in july of this year, and again in october, and it is out yet again, not even two months later. My mechanic can't find any reason for it. In addition, my service air-bag light is on, although it's never gone off, and the entire transmission had to be replaced at about 63,000 miles. Regarding the light - so far, I've been lucky that it hasn't contributed to any kind of accident, especially since deer are very active at this time of year and are very common in our area.
Service ESC, service traction control, service air bags, brake lights on when pedal not pressed and not on when pedal is pressed and cruise control doesn't work periodically. These message appear off and on while driving. I have had the sensor under the brake pedal replaced twice now. Last time 14 months ago so no longer under warranty and needs replaced again.
Tl* the contact owned a 2010 chevrolet malibu. While making a left turn at a green light, another vehicle struck the contact's vehicle on the passenger side.

Air bag light goes on and off. When off and I hit a bump it turns back on. I have children and I am scared of an emergency it will not function.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. The contact received a notice regarding the wiring connector for the side air bags. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be repaired or diagnosed. The manufacturer stated that if a related warning indicator illuminated, then the vehicle would be serviced per the 'special coverage program'. In addition, if there was no warning indicator illumination related to the failure, the contact would be responsible for the diagnostic fees to determine if the vehicle had a potential failure related to the 'special coverage program'. The contact had not experienced a failure, but was concerned for his safety and the potential of a failure.
"service airbag" dashboard warning light goes on and off intermittently both when car is at rest or in motion, especially when the car goes over a bump or pothole.
The brake lights illuminate without pressing on the brakes. I remember there being a recall before and I took my car in and it got fixed however it is doing it again. And my air bag light goes on and off all the time.
Codes: b0014, b0021 ABS wiring harness light illuminating "service air bag"
2010 chevrolet malibu. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle steering and air bag defects. *smd the consuer stated the steering would squeal and growl, which created a vibration making steering difficult. The airbag warning light was illuminated.
Pulled out of car wash and onto the highway (speed limit is only 40) through town, power steering went out and light began displaying with audible sound as well as service ESC. The mileage on my vehicle is 150,760 when this occurred. There is currently a bulletin published referencing this problem (15356) in which it appears to only warrant a repair at manufacturer cost if 150,000 miles/ten years. From reading online forums, I am not the only one to "just" miss the failure and manufacturer reimbursement. This is dangerous and should be addressed no matter the mileage.
Red warning :service airbag". Checked VIN on "takata recall" which says my vehicle is not involved. Came on a week ago. Goes off when I turn off car. Usually comes on within 5 to 15 minutes of starting car. No indication as to which airbag.
Service air bag soon alert intermittently comes on and goes off sometimes when restarting, other times after driving 15 - 20 minutes. Had stayed on for 1 1/2 hour drive but when restarting was off. Driving has been highway miles. Can come on upon starting and while driving. Dash board lighting goes off while driving, highway miles. Sometimes does not turn on until 15 minutes of highway driving then go off again later. Dial is setat brightezt point but not bright.
The seat belt keeps dinging like the seatbelt is not connected to the seatbelt latch and it is. The engine light comes on and off. I have taken it to the dealership the light goes off so they can never figure out what's wrong with it. Except once which it came back to it being the solenoid sensor. They fixed it. But, engine light still comes on. The seatbelt dings doing the whole ride or if your siting still. The engine light comes on off and on. Just bought the car 9/23/2017.
I was involved in a hit and run back in march 2017 the person backed into the pass-side of my car as I was driving 35 MPH down the main road , the side impact airbag did not deploy from impact , the dealership said this is not a takata issue as they were replaced by the current recall and they don't know why they didn't deploy . The electrical issue is the onstar response system didn't detect the crash and call for help- I had to push the button to get help . The car can not get directions sent to it from onstar and the electrical keeps failing/loosing power and I was told to replace the batter and alternator but it still does it and the wires r fine . Dealership told me to replace the computer control system but seems their guessing and I don't have $1,200 around to do it . The side impact airbag should of deployed and the onstar sensor should of detected it and called for help.
The power steering sensor will suddenly go off and my wheel locks, I cannot turn my wheels, I feel really unsafe I almost crashed with myself and kids.
