2015 Chevrolet Malibu

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN CHEVROLET DEALERS IN THE TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO AREAS, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT USED A CODE READER AND DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO WARNING. I JUST STARTED MY CAR AND THE DISPLAY SAID TO SERVICE AIRBAG. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THEY ALL TURNED THEIR VEHICLES IN TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND ALMOST ALL HAD A FAULTY AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE. I HOPE THAT SAFETY INVESTIGATES DEEPLY ON THIS SO NO ONE WILL HAVE A DEADLY WRECK. THE WEBSITE IS POSTED BELOW. HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/CHEVROLET/MALIBU/2015/AIR-BAG-LIGHT-ON-PROBLEMS.PHP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE SUN ROOF WAS OPEN, THE CONTACT CLOSED THE DRIVER'S WINDOW AND THE SUN ROOF CLOSED WITHOUT WARNING. ROGER DEAN CHEVROLET (101 SW PINE ISLAND RD, CAPE CORAL, FL 33991, (239) 574-3326) WAS CONTACTED AND REQUESTED THAT THE CONTACT BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V164000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING THE VVT SOLENOID MALFUNCTIONED AND ALL THE OIL SPILLED OUT OF THE CAR RENDERING THE NON OPERABLE. THIS PART CAN NOT BE FOUND ANYWHERE. I WAS TOLD BE THE SEVERAL DEALSHIPS THAT THIS PART HAS BEEN SO BACK ORDER SINCE JUNE 2019 LEAVING ME WITHOUT A CAR AND WITH A CAR NOTE. GM SHOULD OFFER A CREDIT BACK TO THEIR CUSTOMERS!!

I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO NUMEROUS SHOPS TO GET THE MATTER FIXED BUT NO CODE SHOWS UP WHEN BEING TESTED FOR AND BLOWN FUSES. THE COMPLETE RIGHT TURN SING ALL AND HEAD LAMPS GOUTS OUT WHEN I USE IT TO TURN RIGHT. EVERYTHING GOES COMPLETELY BLACK AS I AM DRIVING THE CAR. REALLY AM AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR AT NIGHT. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT COULD BE WRONG?

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION (AUTO OFF ENGAGED). WHEN I STARTED TO MOVE, THE CAR WOULD BARELY GO (AUTO OFF WAS DISENGAGED). IT WAS JERKING AS I WAS GIVING IT GAS. THE SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE CAME ON AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I MANAGED TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT , PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN I TRIED TO REV THE ENGINE AND IT JUST DIDN'T WANT TO. I SHUT IT OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARED. I DROVE BACK TO WORK AND IT SEEMED FINE, BUT FOR MONTHS NOW, IT SEEMS WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF, IT HESITATES A BIT BEFORE GOING.

I WENT TO WORK FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 2019. WHERE MY CAR SAT FOR TWO HOURS. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT I HAD A SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. MY CAR IS A 2105, I'M THE SECOND OWNER. IT'S NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I HAD BOUGHT IT FROM A YEAR AGO. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY AIR BAG MODULE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T TAKE AN ACCIDENT FOR FAULTING IN SEVERE INJURY, BEFORE I HAD KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING ON. I CALLED GM HOPING TO GET SOME ANSWERS. ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME. FROM READING ONLINE I'VE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE. I JUST PRAY SOMETHING CAN BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WE DON'T PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A CAR, TO HAVE THINGS GO SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THEM. I UNDERSTAND THINGS GET WORE OUT AND NEED REPLACED, BUT COMING FROM A COMPANY WHO STATES SAFETY IS A PRIORITY, I DON'T FEEL AN AIR BAG MODULE SHOULD BE GOING OUT AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS.
