2016 Chevrolet Malibu airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was driving northbound on I-435 when avoiding an accident. I pressed my brake as hard as I could. My vehicle did not stop so to avoid causing a serious accident I went off road in the center of the two highways. After hitting the guardrail to stop my vehicle from falling inbetween the overpass. My airbags did not deploy . I feel some concern after having my breaks checked and told they were good. Then if I'm at stop and I release the break for my car to start back up. I give it a second and then press the peddle it does not move which has almost caused me to hold up traffic or almost being hit when vehicles were at safe distances.
My car all of sudden on freeway snatched back from doing 65 plus to freaking less than 30 miles instantly "engine power reduced" message appears and check engine light comes on. It continues to do this everyday my car will not drive over 30-35 MPH. I have two kids this is not safe. I travel! I take my car to penske chevrolet of cerritos dealer and they claim its a accelerator pad sensor. Prior to taking my car to dealer I had a conversation with a co worker who has the same car she told me the issue beforehand because she experienced it and was stuck on a highway!they also state that "every malibu is having this issue" and due to that the item is on back order. I had to pay and still have to pay for labor of that item which I don't think is fair. It should be a recall. I feel well no it is obviously hazardous and chevy has people and kids driving in cars like this ... What if I get in an accident? How many cars does it take to realize this item needs to be recalled? Does someone have to die for chevrolet to realize that this needs serious attention?
I keep having a service airbag message. I took it to the dealership and they said it's the steering airbag. To fix it is $481. It's not fair to pay this when I got this car brand new and I haven't done anything to the car to make this happen. This should be a recall do to a manufacturer error.
I seen the recall about the air bag on the passenger side of the front seat I'm having a issue like that what can be done to see if it's related to what y'all are recalling thanks and be side that it come on and off on it's own even when no one is seating there.
When I put my car in park, on the dash board it say put car in park to turn off. When my car is in park. Also when I go to start my car it take a while for it to start. It will say serivce stablility. My air bag lights came on. I also have seen that alot of customers that has the same car is having the same problem
Passenger side airbag sensor activates even though there is no passenger. Radio shorts and turns off for no apparent reason.
I have audio (hearing) of five warming bells for last couple of weeks while traveling in vehicle. I finally observed in ceiling of vehicle air bag warning for passenger seat indicating 'on 2' I observe audio of five bells every now and then while on road. I then observe 'on 2' indicator goes into off mode automatically. I do not know exactly when airbag passenger system reverts to off mode. I will take vehicle into authorized chev service center sometime this week as I am in warranty. I am not aware of any recall notice and vehicle has been in chev service center for oil change, tire rotation and vehicle safety check list about 30 days prior. I would hope their computer system is up to date on recalls. Also I am not aware if air bags are takema air bags?
