This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

Takara recall..front and passenger airbags did not deploy in accident. I was stopped in traffic when a car struck me from behind going highway speed, impact caused the car to get stuck in my trunk pushed me down the highway sideways and stuffed the nose of my car into the guardrail breaking the guardrail, quick thinking saved our lives ( my husband was in the passenger seat )I saw the car coming full highway speed and nosed my car into the breakdown lane to avoid getting stuffed under the truck infront of me. The car was a complete loss, I ended up with a concussion, torn rotator cuff, fractures in my right arm and right knee, chronic headaches, and paranoia of driving.. luckily no one was in the backseat because the rear seat broke from impact with the spare tire.
I was getting out of my car and I left it running and the air bag deployed and I didn't hit anything I was wondering if there was any recall on this particular model
I was involved in a hit and run accident, which wasnt my fault. The car was hit on the passenger side causing the steering column to fall onto my lap.the air bags did not deplore, I suffered a fractured pelvis which did not heal correctly. Im still having problems from this. The car was totaled.
The contact owned a 1999 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled without warning and crashed. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained injuries that required medical attention. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA campaign number: 14V400000 (electrical system). The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Updated 10/22/2014 updated 4/1/2015
I stopped at the gas station to put some air in the tires, and when I got out and closed the door, both the driver side and passenger side airbags deployed. I am thankful that I was not sitting in the car when they just erroneously deployed.
The contact owns a 1999 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact was driving approximately 50 mph when the driver and passenger frontal air bags deployed erroneously. The contact received injury to the face and the left foot as a result. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure and the current mileage was 120,000.
I was driving in slow morning traffic, more or less 20 mph when all of a sudden both driver and passenger airbags exploded. There was no crash. I did not hit anything thanks that I was driving slow. Mr. Dan bailey, service manager at holler Chevrolet - 407-645-1234, after checking the car out, said this was the second time he saw airbags exploding without accident on a Chevrolet.
The airbags on my 1999 Chevy Malibu did not deploy when I was in a pretty serious accident. I have photos of the car and the accident scene. I was hit in the front by someone running a stop sign.
My airbags did not deploy when I was in a 50 mph head on crash. One car accident against a medium which led to pain in my neck, chest, and lower back. I was going home in left lane and two speeding cars past me and cut me off, didn't stop and I hit a metal rail. I'm very upset because it could have been fatal. The car is a 99 Chevrolet Malibu which we purchased from carmax and they said they sold us a car with no defects. Where do search for answers? the car is reparable but might not be in the same condition when I get it back. I'm very happy I didn't have my children in that car then.
This vehicle has had several problems I'll try to list.the airbags did not deploy they had been replaced when they fixed the horn problems.completely dissatisfied with my vehicle.I'm not sure if vehicle will be totaled since the accident was 9/6/01. I believe at the very least the airbags should have deployed.I don't know who to complain to.I've replaced rear brakes and rotors, altenator, water pump, battery, horn contact replaced twice at same time had to replace air bag due to sensor behind airbag, interior door panel replaced bracket broken, oil light continued to come on often even though service dealer could not dulpicate, air conditioner not blowing hard secured blower and blower resister wiring another time had to replaced A/C control unit, engine leaking oil around intake replaced intake gaskets, rear seat sqeaked w/ passengers service shop had attempted to fix but was unsuccessful, so as you can tell many problems!!! makes me think twice before buying a Chevrolet product again.thank you
Hit a cement parking block at 2mph and the airbags deployed-contacted customer service at Chevy(most unprofessional) they said airbags were to deploy with frontal crash-they would not give any other information. Ran around for 14 days. Was told that a pothole or a speedbump could set them off at the right angle. 2500 dollars to replace.
