2011 Chevrolet Malibu seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 53, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Broken welds under the seat where they should never be broken, very dangerous! Seat is all the way down, driver side seat has collasped
The seat belts on this vehicle have some issues. I was involved in a wreck lately and I was hurt really bad from the seat belt on the chevy . The seat belt dinted into my body causing some really bad pain when the accident occurred.
I was driving straight on the interstate when the cruise control deactivated itself. The seat belt light stays lit most of the time. It says service air bag and traction system. Traction system light goes off and on, but the air bag light stays on. Doesnt reset even when unhooking the battery and rehooking it up. Car makes rattling noise from front end. Pulls hard to the right.
While driving and stationary the inside lights blinks, the power steering cane on twice and I have my seatbelt on the light indicator comes on while the it's connected
Takata recall the service tech at the dealership said the airbag could deploy while driving causing my daughter to be in danger at all times. Airbag warning light stayed on even after replacing the airbag.
The cable to the driver's side seat belt broke. Evidently, other malibu's this year had a recall for this exact problem. But, my VIN # is not accepted. Chevy is unwilling to accept responsibility. Severe injury or death could easily have been the outcome if this happened in an accident. The vehicle was stationary when it came completely apart.
107,000 miles seat belt buckle does not sense seat belt is buckled. Seat belt alarm chimes with belt buckled. Dealer says part is not covered by special campaign. There was a recall a few years ago for seat belt issue and I thought the warranty was extended to 10 years or 120,000 miles.
I purchased this car on 11/30/2018 and noticed now that there was a recall on the seat belts. My car belts have not been replaced.
The car wont start bring 3 times at dealer ship no funs any reazon a but the problem
I was driving on the the and the power steering, locked up. I reached out to na dealer ship and they corrected that problem and my seat belt. The next day 2/10/2018. The car slowed down to maybe 8miles while I was driving, and enough power to the engine. Very danger, very danger. Thank god the car behind me was paying attention. I have had this car for 3 years. I myself came out of pocket for wiring problems. Car just stopping on the hyw, no power at all. I replaced that. This is a very dangerous car to be on the road. I know cars have issues. But all this 3 years and just stopping and slowing down is and will be the death of others. Chevy is supposed to be one of the best car making, but this is horrible. And a lot people from what I read are having issues. This very dangerous.
Takata recall dealers are to attach the wiring harness to the bcm with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the bcm and harness connector and on the bas and harness connector, and relearn the brake pedal home position free of charge. And also dealers will replace the outboard lap anchor mounting bracket to re-locate the tensioner 30mm rearward. Dealers will also inspect the cable, and if necessary, replace the lap pretensioner. These repairs will be completed free of charge.
I call wylie musser motor s for service and they said they will repair when they have the order. It has been 2 years and still no call back for service.
