The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the "Service Air Bag" warning light was illuminated. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND WILL NOT RESET!! STARTED AFTER 1525 MILES ON CAR. CAR WAS UNDRIVEN FOR 5 YEARS. DEALER SAYS NOT WARRANTY PROBLEM!!!!

AIR BAG LIGHT JUST KEEPS POPPING ON AND OFF. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS DISPLAYING NO ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE AT ALL

INTERMITTENTLY THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING COMES UP AND AT OTHER TIMES IT IS NOT ON. HAVE BEEN TOLD IT COULD BE LINKED TO DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT. THE CLIP HAS BEEN CHANGED AND STILL DOES IT.

AIR BAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMING ON. IN ALL STATE. IN MOTION AND STANDING STILL. .

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. PROVIDE FORM TO SEND TO GENERAL MOTORS TO REFUND ME THE $700 PLUS DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT STAYS ON FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN GOES AWAY. IT WAS ON FOR FOUR DAYS THIS LAST TIME, WENT AWAY FOR ONE DAY AND CAME BACK ON TODAY. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF OTHER MALIBU OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I DECIDED TO LOOK TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS FOR THE AIRBAG SENSOR AND THERE ISN'T. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE IF THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD 2 FRONT END COLLISION WITH WILD HOGS THE SECOND WAS REAL BAD. THE ENTIRE FRONT END ON THE PASSENGER SIDE INCLUDING THE DOOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE AIRBAG NEVER EXPLODED NEITHER TIME. WHEN I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE IN 2012 OR 13 THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON BUT GO OF FOR AWHILE. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WOULD ALWAYS SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT.

I WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN A VERY BAD CAR CRASH AND I AM INJURED FROM THE AIR BAG . IT HIT ME VERY HARD IN THE HEAD CAUSING ME TO LOOK CONSCIOUSNESS .

MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTH. THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2011 MALIBU'S FOR AIRBAG BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL, HOWEVER THE SENSOR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON
