I have had 2 front end collision with wild hogs the second was real bad. The entire front end on the passenger side including the door had to be replaced. The airbag never exploded neither time. When I purchase the vehicle in 2012 or 13 the air bag light would come on but go of for awhile. I complained about it to the dealer but they would always say nothing is wrong with it.

Traction system light goes off and on, but the air bag light stays on. Doesnt reset even when unhooking the battery and rehooking it up. Car makes rattling noise from front end. Pulls hard to the right.

Service ESC message - ESC off message - and power steering messages come on and I cannot turn my car. Happens multiple times while driving on daily commute and causes me to be put in dangerous situations especially on the expressways. There is not always a place to pull over. These indicators happens whether driving or sitting still. Service air bag message stays on.
The service airbag light keeps coming on. It stays on for a couple days and then goes away. It was on for four days this last time, went away for one day and came back on today. I looked online and it sounds like a lot of other Malibu owners have had the same problem. I decided to look to see if there was any recalls for the airbag sensor and there isn't. seems like there should be if there are a lot of people having the same issue.
Takata recall. Power steering and ESC light came on while bcar was warming up for the first time, it comes and goes as it pleases sometimes while in motion, sometimes while stationary, and makes it difficult to turn or steer. It also makes my car feel as if the wheels are about to fall off the front end. My air bag light is also on and won't go off. Guessing it doesn't work. Pulled some codes but nothing for power steering, attached are a few images of a few codes that were pulled. Not all codes.
The airbag comes on and off all the time. It's very scary. It comes on sometime when I start the car and sometimes while I'm driving. It doesn't matter if I stop fast or move or turn. It's random.
I have had several issues with the air bag and electronic stability control. I have taken my vehicle in before regarding the issue with the service air bag light before. Just recently the service ESC (electronic stability control) light had come on. I called General Motors regarding if there any recalls for my vehicle, and was told there are not active recalls, but I should take my vehicle in to have it serviced for the passenger side air bag not working properly (not on). I have also had numerous issues with my tmp(tire pressure monitoring) system as well with regard to low tire pressure that keeps showing the left front tire. When I put air in that tire air pressure is registering in the other tires as well. These are all serious safety concerns that need to be investigated. I don't know if anyone else is experiencing the same problem, but this could possibly lead to serious injuries or death.
