What owners wrote
I was stopped at a red light and a man who wasn't paying attention came speeding up and rear ended me he hit me so hard that my car hit the car in front of me and that car hit the car in front of him. 4 cars total. My airbags did not deploy and I am suffering from many injuries because of that. The man who hit me was going around 50 miles per hour. I believe with such impact that he hit me the airbags should have deployed.
Drivers power seat on my 2009 chev malibu 52000 miles is lower on right side and rubs on console when you try and move, there is bar under seat with broken weld seat moves while driving when I checked online there were a number of complaints from people with the same problem
