My first issue is with the lights on the Malibu. My light developed condensation in them which in the rear caused the light to glow dim, and caused E to get pulled over on a number of times. In the front it has caused the glass shield to fog causing me to fail vehicle inspection. There have are many other electrical malfunctions on my car such as the theft lock system, the power moon roof, the manufacturer's cd player, the headlight control switch. Then it has a problem with emissions. The headliner is falling off the ceiling.

For months the airbag made noises when driving as air was seeping through the rubber border. Then today the sunroof just flew off the car on the highway so there was no way of salvaging it. It broke off the hinges and the sunroof was not open anyway at all. It was the type that you could either vent or slide back.
