Filed Oct 9, 2023 · Airbags, Seats · NJ

Air bag light is on dashboard and my driver seat won’t recline back up to a normal driving position. Brought it to the mechanic to have it checked and was told I am in need of a new driver seat do to a faulty airbag. The car is not even 10 years old yet and I can’t use the seat properly to drive safely.

The plastic trim on drivers seat which has the controls on it to operate and hold the seat up on the side cracked and controls were not accessible and part was no longer holding up the seat. Purchased car march 28,2015. On october 26,2017 I paid for the part and labor since I was told it was not under warranty. It's now april 9th, 2019 and the part is pulling away from the seat again. I was told the warranty for the last repair expired on october 26, 2018. My option was to pay for the part and repair again. The plastic trim should be considered defective since it holds the seat up and the buttons that access the seat controls are on it. The part and labor charges should be covered by the manufacturer for this defective part.

No problems prior to a simple spark plug change(AC delco iridium/oem). Few days later, car started hesitating, and losing acceleration, check engine light & service stability display on screen. Checked with obdii. Gave code of missing spark in #3. So I changed spark plug, thinking faulty plug. After driving a bit, code and same problem again. Took to dealer $170 later, bad coil...! 86k miles and bad coil, after changing plugs...hum! Ok so if bad coil why is it giving me a service stabilitrack display? And not coming up on obdii diagnosis? I'm a certified transit desiel mechanic of 15yrs, and this puzzles me. I've ordered coil, changing tmrw. Lets see what outcome will be after chaning coil!

I have enjoyed my malibu but I have a issue from the day I purchased it. The plastic cover over the seat controls was torn when I purchased the car the cover has gotten worse as time has gone by and to be honest has become a hazard I torn a pair of slacks on the extremely sharp plastic piece and I am very careful getting in and out of the car because of the piece. Drivers side seat control cover piece. There is a defect in the seat design there is a metal tube running front to back you can see it in the pictures it cracked this cover and will crack any new cover that replace this cover. This is a design defect please find out if it is covered from chevy. There are multiple complaints listed on the internet for this exact piece cracking
