Air Bags · at 37,000 miles · reported Jul 24, 2019
My airbag light was on. Chevy dealership diagnosed it and I need a new passenger presence module. They said this is up to me to find. I have been searching for a new one and cannot find it anywhere. I also called GM and they gave me some websites to try, which was to no avail. My car only has 37,000 miles on it and is in very good condition and has never been in a accident. My granddaughter is going to be driving it if we can fix it. I AM very frustrated at this point, and very disappointed with chevrolet and GM. We own 2 chevrolet's

I purchased a 2007 malibu from jd byryder in may 2017, jan.04, while driving the wheel locked and then reduced to manual steering, I could not turn because I did not have the strength to turn wheel. I researched and found a recall on power assist failure for this vehicle, I have gone to GM dealer who promised to fix and 30 minutes into repair I was told warrant expired and I would have to pay for the power assist issue out of pocket.

I own a 2007 chevy malibu that the electric power steering stops working intermittently. The power steering will quit working while the vehicle is in motion without warning. The ignition has to be turned off and turned on for it to start working. The symptoms it has are all consistent with the GM recall for other 2006 and 2007 malibus, but currently the VIN number of my vehicle is not included in this recall. This vehicle should be included with the recall because it is a known issue and a safety risk to the driver of this vehicle and others operating in the general area of this vehicle.
