2007 Chevrolet Malibu Seats Problems

“I used to get a warning to service airbags on the stereo display, and a chime, typically when I first started up the car. This started when I was living in southern illinois. I drove with my backpack on the passenger seat, and occasionally that seat would chime for passenger to buckle up. The service air bag message would stay up for about 5 miles of driving, then would not illuminate again. Finally caught it in the act, got it to a dealership, where they told me their diagnostic came up with a passenger seat occupancy sensor was failing/had failed. …”

“On oct. 31st I was driving my car and turned on the seat heater. A few seconds later I noticed the seat got extremely hot so I quickly turned it off. When I got out of my car there was a hole in my seat where the heater is!”

“Service air bag warning goes on continually. Dealer says they will not repair as a safety problem but will charge me over $750 to repair. I feel this should be repaired by GM. Have been driving for over a year with this condition.”

“I am an aerospace structural technician now retired, and I have the following problem. Drivers seat frame weld busted due to materials and workmanship, causing the seat to rotate backwards and to the right. Contacted Chevrolet dealership and Chevrolet customer service. They replied, sorry about that!”

“Service air bag light had come on. Took into shop they told me it was a notorious on the 2007 malibus and not to worry about it...... Still makes me feel very nervous to the fact what if I am driving down the highway and it blows out at me causing me to have a head on accident!!!! Now on april 3, 2014 I was driving to work and my drivers seat broke! It totally just broke while I was driving! I mean wth I am a 5'7 female that weighs 155 lbs! I am the only one who drives my car! There should be no reason my seat broke! …”
