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.

The cable to the driver's side seat belt broke. Evidently, other malibu's this year had a recall for this exact problem. But, my vin # is not accepted. Chevy is unwilling to accept responsibility. Severe injury or death could easily have been the outcome if this happened in an accident. The vehicle was stationary when it came completely apart.
