I ALSO CALLED GM AND THEY GAVE ME SOME WEBSITES TO TRY, WHICH WAS TO NO AVAIL. MY CAR ONLY HAS 37,000 MILES ON IT AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT. MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS GOING TO BE DRIVING IT IF WE CAN FIX IT. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AT THIS POINT, AND VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHEVROLET AND GM. WE OWN 2 CHEVROLET'S

REPAIR WORKED TO GET STICKER IN 2017 BUT DID NOT TAKE (NEW SEAT & SENSOR) CAN NOT GET A STICKER THIS YEAR WITH THE LIGHT ON. SPECIALIST IN WIRING SAID THEY SPENT ALOT OF TIME AND CONSULTED DEALERSHIP AND CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR OR HAVE A PASSENGER RIDE WITH ME. HAVE SPENT ABOUT 1500.00 TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME WITH SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING FOR PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS TOLD THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WILL WORK IN A COLLISION IF THE LIGHT IS ON.

TAKARA RECALL THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH HAS BEEN ON FOR A YEAR. ON THE RADIO PART IT HAS SAID SERVICE AIRBAG. EVERYONE TELLS ME U CAN NOT SERVICE IT. NOW THE RADIO SAYS AIRBAG WARNING AND WANT TO OFF.

THE AIR BAG IS GOING OFF AND I LOOKED IT UP AND THEY WANT LOTS OF MONEY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAPPENS IN SO MANY MALIBU'S OF THIS YEAR AND EVEN MORE YEARS. I'M JUST WORRIED IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN I'M DRIVING MYSELF AND GIRLFRIEND OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. WHAT IF THE SENSOR IS BAD AND IT DOESN'T DEPLOY IF NEEDED
