2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX Complaints

I WAS STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT ABOUT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. JUST AS THE CAR WAS STOPPING, THE BACK OUTSIDE EDGE OF MY DRIVER SEAT MADE A LOUD POP AND DROPPED ABOUT 4 INCHES. AFTER I REMOVED THE SEAT LATER, THE WELD, ATTACHING THE ELECTRIC SEAT ADJUSTER TO THE CROSS BAR IN THE BACK OF THE SEAT, IS RIPPED LOOSE OF THE CROSS BAR. THIS SEAT CONTAINS AN AIRBAG IN THE SIDE OF IT. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN AN ACCIDENT, I DON'T THINK THE SAFETY FEATURES WOULD STILL HAVE PREVENTED SERIOUS INJURY. THE SEAT IS A DEALER ITEM AND THEY WANT OVER $1000 DO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER MODULE KIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER NOT WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,100. UPDATED 7/14/15*CN

PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE FAILURE R&R PPS MODULE W/SENSOR W/HEATED SEATS, (INCLUDES: CALIBRATION, R&I SEAT) PROGRAM PPS MODULE IS THIS A COMMON FAILURE FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE? IS THEIR A RECALL SCHEDULED TO BE RELEASED TO REPAIR THIS COMPONENT? *TR

I KEEP LOSING MY POWER STEERING SO THE CAR BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. I HAD IT FIXED BY MY OWN MECHANIC, BUT IT WENT OUT AGAIN. HE TRIED TO FIX IT, BUT IT'S STILL NOT GOOD. I READ YESTERDAY THAT THE 2007 MALIBU MAXX WAS BEING RECALLED FOR POWER STEERING FAILURE, BUT THE DEALERS AND GM TELL ME MY CAR ISN'T LISTED. I THINK MY CAR SHOULD BE LISTED. THE NY TIMES ARTICLE SAID YOUR ORGANIZATION HAD REPORTED LAST SATURDAY ABOUT THIS RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY MY 2007 MALIBU MAXX SS WITH POWER STEERING FAILURE ISN'T ON THIS RECALL. THANK YOU. MY CURRENT MILEAGE IS 133,000 MILES. *TR

IN THE BEGINNING, THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. IF THERE WAS NOT A PERSON SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" WARNING WOULD COME ON AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD LIGHT ON THE DASH. IF THERE WAS A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THERE WOULD BE NO WARNING OR LIGHT ON THE DASH AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR WOULD SAY "ON". THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE OVER TIME AND NOW WHETHER THERE IS A PERSON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT, THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" WARNING COMES ON ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD AIRBAG LIGHT. ALSO, NOW, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR STAYS ON "OFF". TSB 08-09-41-002E HAS BEEN CREATED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED, THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF, BUT NOT ALWAYS. LACK OF TRUST IN DEALERS INVESTIGATING AND MAKING THE REPAIRS IS AN ISSUE. I'M TOLD (BY A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE MANAGER) THAT IT WILL COST $80 JUST TO CHECK VIA COMPUTER WHAT THE CAUSE MAY BE. REPAIRS SUCH AS RE-COUPLING A LOOSE SENSOR CONNECTION BENEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT IS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE ($40) BUT REPLACEMENT OF SENSORS REPAIRS COULD RUN UPWARDS FROM $700. *TR

I START MY CAR AND THE SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON AND SHOULD SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR IS FULLY STARTED BUT MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. ALSO WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER THE PASSENGERS AIR BAG STAYS OFF. *TR

OCCUPANT AIR BAG SENSOR COME ON IN FIRE, NOW SERVICE AIR BAGS LIGHT IS ON AND THERE IS A BURN HOLE IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT ..UPDATED 09-15-14-*BF UPDATED 2/23/2015 *JS

SLOWED DOWN TO TAKE A RIGHT TURN, TURNED RIGHT AND STARTED TO SPEED UP AND THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME, HOLDING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON MANUALLY. EVEN AT 20 MPH, IT WAS VERY SCARY, COULD NOT IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING AT THE SPEED OF 55 OR HIGHER. VERY DANGEROUS!! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY MALIBU MAXX I HAVE THE ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRANSACTION. I TOOK THE CAR WHEN THESE LIGHTS COME ON. THEY TELL ME IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT. I AM DISABLED AND DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY. HAS THIS PART BEEN RECALLED ? I READ SOME ON THE INTERNET WHERE THE FUEL SYSTEM HAD BEEN RECALLED . I TAKE MY GRANDSON TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY AND PICK HIM UP . THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN GO OFF. THE WEATHER IS COLD HERE. THAT SEEMS TO CAUSE THE LIGHT TO COME ON. I WORRY ABOUT A SAFE CAR. HERE IS THE INFORMATION I PULLED UP. RECALL ID # 79907 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP PLUS FULL DETAILS RECALL DATE FEB 28, 2011 COMPONENT FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP MODEL AFFECTED MALIBU POTENTIAL UNITS AFFECTED 4887 IF THERE IS A RECALL WHOM DO I CONTACT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ? *TR
