What owners report
“Driver's seat is wobbling and feels like something is broken or detached beneath the right side of the seat. I've read many complaints about this in a chevy malibu/maxx. Should be a recall. Mechanics on the phone assume it's a welding issue. The wobbling occurred over time. Shouldn't have to pay…”

“The driver seat, rear right side is broken. Driver leans toward center console. Potential safety concern if there were to be an accident. Seems as if there was a structural failure in that location. Driver did not notice it break until sitting down one day to start daily commute.”
