The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the temperature gauge began to indicate the vehicle was overheating after which the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. The check engine and air bag warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the oil pan gasket; resulting in damage to the engine, and ABS control module resulting in the air bag warning light. The contact was informed that the engine would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic, who again diagnosed a failure with the oil pan gasket. The vehicle was repaired, but again the failure occurred for the third time. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 113,000.

The catalytic converter and exhaust manifold are suspected to be malfunctioning. These components are part of the vehicle’s exhaust system, and their failure is believed to be contributing to hesitation and skipping during operation. Both components are available for inspection upon request. The hesitation and skipping reduce the vehicle’s responsiveness, creating a safety risk in traffic. This issue could hinder safe merging, overtaking, or maintaining consistent speeds. Additionally, malfunctioning exhaust components may lead to increased emissions and pose a risk of toxic gases entering the cabin if leaks are present. Check engine light displays. The problem has been confirmed by a professional auto mechanic during their inspection and diagnosis. The components have been inspected and diagnosed by an independent service center (the auto mechanic). They have not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. No warning lamps or error messages were displayed on the dashboard prior to the diagnosis. The symptoms, including hesitation and skipping, began approximately [insert timeline, e.g., two weeks ago] and have been recurring during normal driving, particularly during acceleration or at lower speeds.

Air bag disabled light came on got the code checked the connector for the air bag on the drivers side either came disconnected or is defective and it disabled all my air bags.

POWER STEERING light shows on indicator panel sometimes without any problems steering. Sometimes it appears along with SERVICE ESC and some times power steering is lost. Turning the car off and back on usually resets the problem. It is extremley difficult to steer the car when this happens. It began intermittently about 3 years ago when a local mechanic looked at it but he couldn't find anything wrong. It's failing much more frequently (every other trip) now. It has about 62000 miles on it. So far, no accidents but a few close calls. Another problem is that the SERVICE AIR BAG indicator comes on when someone sits in the passenger seat and the car is started. It can be reset but it's an scary situation. I don't think this is related to the steering problem but not sure.

I just purchased this 2012 chevy malibu from someone used 184,000 miles decent condition. Air bag sensor keeps coming on and I'm not sure why, don't say which one. Headlights have a mind of their own and are already burnt out after just changing them. The stereo screen glitches, bad. The electric seats don't work. There's absolutely no working E brake. I think there's something wrong with the steering or maybe the u-joint or something. I'm about to look into the recalls on this car.

Service Air bag warning/notice displays at every vehicle start. Car has multiple air bags and I don't know which one(s) don't work now.

I BEGAN TO RECEIVE DASHBOARD NOTIFICATIONS FROM MY CAR ABOUT TRACTION CONTROL IN EARLY 2018 AND EARLIER THIS YEAR I STARTED RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS OF PROBLEMS WITH MY AIRBAGS. I BOUGHT NEW BULBS, BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE MY LIGHTING PROBLEMS. I TOOK MY CAR TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS CHARGED/PAID A LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO BE TOLD I NEEDED A NEW FUSE PANEL AND HEADLIGHT BULBS. I WAS TOLD THE PANEL WASN'T AVAILABLE DUE TO A STRIKE AT THE PLANT & TO COME BACK LATER TO HAVE THE PANEL INSTALLED. I RETURNED LATER TO BE TOLD THAT THE TECH DIDN'T RECORD HIS FINDINGS ON MY PROFILE SO NO ONE KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND WAS ASKED TO PAY OUT MORE MONEY. THEREFORE, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DOCUMENTED THAT MY VEHICLE REQUIRED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WIRING WHICH INCLUDES, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM), BODY HARNESS, A NEW FUSE BLOCK, LABOR, ETC., THE PRICE TAG IS IN THE THOUSANDS.

HOWEVER, FOR EVERY SINGLE ISSUE I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY CAR THERE IS A RECALL FOR IT.

I RECEIVED NOTICE FOR ONE RECALL AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR AND THAT WAS FOR A SEAT BELT. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING 13036 IS THE BCM CHEVY RECALL NUMBER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF MORE INFORMATION IS NEEDED.

I NOTICED AN AIR BAG LIGHT THAT APPEARS ON THE CLUSTER OF MY 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU UPON STARTING THE CAR.

ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE'S WARRANTY IS NO LONGER VALID SINCE IT IS MORE THAN 5 YEARS, BUT THE VEHICLE HAS VERY LOW MILES (ABOUT 22K) AND I BELIEVE GM SHOULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE DIAGNOSED SINCE IT IS SAFETY RELATED BUT THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR ANY SERVICES.

AIRBAG SENSOR GOES OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. HAS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE I PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT APPEARS I WAS SOLD A VEHICLE WITH FAULTY WIRING. THIS POSES A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AIRBAG CLAIMING IT TO BE SOMETHING THAT WAS MY FAULT AND THAT I SHOULD ABSORB THE COST TO REPAIR IT. LUCKILY, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT THAT ONE SHOULD OCCUR; THE CHANCES OF THE AIRBAG FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ARE SLIM TO NIL.

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. IT HAD BEEN MISTING RAIN AND THE ROAD WAS SLIGHTLY DAMP... APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION HE REDUCED HIS SPEED TO APPROX 40 MPH. TWO CARS AHEAD OF HIM SLAMMED ON BREAKS WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED TO YELLOW. THIS CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION... CARS SLIDING TO PREVENT HITTING THE FIRST CAR. MY SON SAID THAT HE WAS BREAKING VERY HARD WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BREAKS ENGAGED... THEY PULSED 3-4 TIMES AND THEN RELEASED WHICH SHOT HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. HE SAID THAT HE WAS PUSHING THE BREAK AS HARD AS HE COULD WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID THE AUTOMATIC CRASH RESPONSE SYSTEM WORK. I CALLED ON STAR TO SEE IF THE SYSTEM EVEN SHOWS A CRASH AND IT DOESN'T. I THINK THAT CONSIDERING THE CRASH BENT THE FRAME IN THE FRONT END AND IS IN EXCESS OF $6,000 YOU WOULD THINK THE SENSORS WOULD HAVE PICKED UP ON SOMETHING. AFTER THE CRASH I CONTACTED MY DEALER TO ASK IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NOT. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT THIS CRASH DID NOT RESULT IN A MORE SERIOUS INJURY / DEATH. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY AIR BAG. I CAN HAVE A PASSENGER THAT WEIGHS OVER THE APPROPRIATE WEIGHT SIT IN THE SEAT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON. I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION AND PARKED MY CAR. I GOT BACK IN MY VEHICLE AND STARTED IT UP AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON MY DASH JUST CAME ON AND IT WILL NOT GO OFF. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY $3000 TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY WILL NEED TO TAKE THE AIR BAG OUT AND FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFECT, I DID NOT HAVE A CRASH OR DID ANYONE HIT MY STEERING WHEEL. *TR

IN MY 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU'S WHEN MY WIFE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM DOES RECOGNIZE SHE IS THERE. YOU CAN WATCH AS THE SYSTEM GOES THROUGH IT'S START UP PROCESS WITH THE AIRBAG ON/OFF LIGHT CYCLING FROM OFF TO ON AND BACK TO OFF. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT IS HOW MY WIFE SITS IN THE SEAT BUT I HAVE VIDEO OF HER SITTING WITH HER FEET ON THE DASH (WHICH IS NOT AN "APPROVED" SEATING POSITION) AND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SHOWS THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS ARMED. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE WE HAVE DRIVEN. MY WIFE WEIGHS 145 SO IT IS NOT THAT SHE IS TOO LIGHT FOR THE SENSOR. THE OTHER DAY I WAS AT A GM DEALER AND FOUND A USED 2012 MALIBU WITH THE SAME TRIM PACKAGE AS MINE AND WE TESTED IT TO SEE IF THAT CAR WOULD DO THE SAME THING AS MINE. IT DID ON THE FIRST TIME WE TURNED THE KEY, I HAVE VIDEO OF THAT FAILURE. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THIS PROBLEM EXCEPT IN BOTH 2012 MALIBU'S. ON MY CAR THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES AND A SEAT FROM ANOTHER MALIBU WAS INSTALLED AND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM STILL FAILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE GM ENGINEER SAID HE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN OTHER VIDEOS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE OVER 20 VIDEOS SHOWING THE SYSTEM WORK AND THE SYSTEM FAILING. THE VIN I LISTED IS FOR THE CAR ON THE DEALER LOT. *TR

ON MAY 30, 2013, I NOTICED THAT THE ON LIGHT FOR THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN I SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF OUR 2012 CHEVROLET MALLIBU. I AM 66 INCHES TALL AND WEIGH OVER 100 POUNDS. I AM AN OLDER ADULT - NOT A CHILD.

THE SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED MY HUSBAND THAT WE SHOULD TURN THE AIRBAG ON. I WASN'T PRESENT AT THE SERVICE DESK TO EXPLAIN THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT COME ON NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I PUSHED THE ON AND OFF BUTTON WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR. SOME TIME LATER, I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND MY HUSBAND HANDED ME OUR 17 POUND DOG. INSTANTLY THE AIRBAG ON LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WE RETURNED TO HENDRICK CHEVROLET ON NOVEMBER 6, AND EXPLAINED THAT THE ONLY TIME THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS WHEN I WAS HOLDING THE 17 POUND DOG. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE AIRBAG WAS CONTROLLED BY A SENSOR THAT COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED. THE REPAIR REPORT STATED, "CUST STATES THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE HIS WIFE SITTING IN SEAT TO ENGAGE AIRBAG - SHE WEIGHS 100 LBS. SCANNED SYSTEM.

MY 2012 CHEVY MALIBU HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM. AT RANDOM TIMES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WILL TURN ON WHEN THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED (BY SOMEONE >120 LBS) ALSO AT THE SAME TIME IF THE PASSENGER UNBUCKLES THE SEAT BELT THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THIS FAILURE WHILE SITTING STILL AND WHILE DRIVING. DEALER REPLACED THE PASSENGER SENSING SENSOR AND CONTROL MODULE. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. DEALER SAID BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SITS WITH ONE LEG TUCKED UNDER THE OTHER THAT THIS IS THE CAUSE. NOT BUYING IT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ALWAYS FAIL LIKE THAT. WE HAVE DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SERVICE ADVISER AND THE TECHNICIAN. I CAN GET THE SYSTEM TO RESET BY CYCLING THE KEY TO OFF AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS NOT THE FIX JUST THE PATCH. SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN USING THE REMOTE START AND THE PASSENGER GETS IN BEFORE THE KEY IS TURNED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH.
