I’ve noticed others complaining about their broken driver's side seat but apparently no one is calling Chevrolet to complain about it. I called Chevrolet yesterday and they said that I was the first one to call and have it documented. Please everyone, call Chevrolet and report the broken seat problem so they can put a recall on it ASAP.

Malibu LS 4 Cyclinder

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles

Seems this is a common problem. The seat sort of nosedives to the front center when you get in just right.

problem #4

Malibu LT V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 163,000 miles

The seat is forever slanted. I am not sure how it occurred or started but unless I want to seat to be totally low and to the bottom, the seat will always stay slanted to the right. And because it's slanted to the right, it squeezes the center console requiring some force/pressure to open the center console wide and open.

The driver's seat cross bar on frame broke at weld (after a recall) of my seat belt. NOT SAFE. Unacceptable that this hasn't been recalled. WHY IS GM NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?

Was told i have to get a whole new seat. I can't afford that. I've seen online that this is a common problem with this model. Why hasn't Chevrolet had a recall????
