November 2018, I was in a car accident where a vehicle was making an illegal u-turn in the middle of clifton road, as I was coming down clifton road in the turning lane and t-boned my vehicle causing front end damage to the front passenger side of my vehicle. My vehicle was totally shut down and had to be towed away. The vehicle was deemed totaled the following week. All airbags deployed and after reading the report from my insurance company stating that there is an airbag recall on my vehicle, which was allegedly known at the time I purchased my vehicle and no one told me and again by the time I had my last oil change and again no one ever told me. No, I totally lost a vehicle and could have lost my life over airbags that are supposed to be able to save your life.
2017 Chevrolet Malibu airbags complaints

My 2017 chevy malibu has been doing power engine reduced for awhile it's been to the dealership many times for this issue. I have almost been in to multiple car accidents because the car reduces speed while driving shouting my car down to go no faster then 20 MPH. This is a major safety issue that chevy is giving me a run around about when obvious the car was sold to me like this. I have warranty on my car and they still have not fixed my car properly leaving me everyday at risk driving this unsafe car that can cause a major car accident especially when it dose it when I'm driving on the freeway which has happened three times already. I have all the paperwork for all the work that has been done to this car which is crazy since it's a new car. I need to know is there a recall on this engine in this car since they cannot fix the problem with my car. The first issue was my airbags then it was the suspension which I was told again the suspension are bad meaning they probably never fixed them along with this engine problem I'm having.
