Passenger low beam keeps going out within a couple days charged wire harness and bulbs keeps happening.

- Hudson, FL, USA

My brake lights constantly go out. My fuses keep blowing. Every time I try to adjust my mirrors the fuses blow for the mirrors and brake lights. Also my headlights keep blowing and the headlight harness has been changed and everything. It is very dangerous not having brake lights, or being able to adjust my mirrors.

I bought my chevy Malibu in 2018 from a used car dealership. A couple months after I bought it the radio blew. I tried replacing fuses it would not work. The lights keep blowing. I keep replacing them and have had a new pigtail that's been grounded. That replacement happened last Thursday. Right light has blown again. Short in electrical system. Cause battery to go down. Windows will only work sometimes and the same goes for the door locks. I currently waiting for a tow truck. The new battery will not start.

Passenger as well as driver side headlight continuously pop on and off, not blowing the bulbs but assuming there is a wiring issue

Right (passenger side) lo beam headlight continues to go out. You must remove the bumper to change headlamps, so, time consuming and expensive labor. I have changed this bulb 4 times just for it to go out within a couple hours. There is an entire forum of this same complaint. When you make a large purchase such as a vehicle, you should be assured that you can use your vehicle as intended without the stress and worry of malfunctions that can lead to costly tickets.

I bought the car a year ago from a used car lot. Replaced the cam shaft positioning sensor as per diagnostic reading for check engine light. Since then, svc air bag light has stayed on. Traction control light stays on and is disengaged. When braking ESC warning goes on and off and sliding occurs. The low beam headlights go on and off intermittently and no way of knowing when it will happen. When turning cruise control on or off, the car will accelerate on its own and will increase speed until brake is applied. Regardless of whether cruise control was turned on or off. I have had it looked at at my local Mr.Tire and they cannot figure out what is happening.

Headlights (low beam)keep going out. Bulbs have been changed repeatedly but immediately go out. Sometimes it will go on when I drive over a bump but will be out next time I start my car. Researching message boards this is a known issue with this model.

I have a 2012 Chevy Malibu i bought it in 2014. I have had the Esc light come on in 2016 but no problem with it untill now of this year in 2022. Not knowing the problem i have already put ALOT into it. I took it to a machanic they told me it was the rack and pinion. So got that done. Apparently it wasn't it took it to another machanic they told me it was struts got that done too n still nothing so i looked it up online got CV joint, inner, tie rod, wheel alignment. All those done n still nothing fix it. I didn't know what else to do until i made more scratch on my vehicle and i found that it could be a recall.

I brought my vehicle into a Chevrolet center near me to have a 'manufacturers warranty fix' done to my vehicle on 04/17/2021, as the power steering had failed and I was able to get this fixed for free. When I turned my vehicle on and noticed the power steering notification on my dash, I tried to back my car out of where I was parked and move my wheel, but could not move the wheel. When the part was replaced, I was told that there were still sensors on my dash indicating that I needed the ESC and stability traction control serviced for my car. According to the Chevrolet dealership, this had 'nothing to do with the special policy fix' and not something they would be fixing for me. After checking the NHTSA.gov for any recalls on my 2012 Chevy Malibu, I found one from May 2014 that described exactly the problem I was having with my vehicle: Loss of vehicle stability traction control, cruise control and random illumination of brake lights. I contacted Chevy once again about this recall, to which they said there 'was no recall for the vehicle, and if there was it was already fixed'. not only was this completely unprofessional and lacking concern of safety for my child and I, I do not know where to turn to for this to be remedied. Attached is the ticket for the initial fix I had done.

I have changed my passenger headlight 3 times and pigtail once and it still keeps going out called Chevy they know its a common problem but can't do anything about it unless I pay not fair to the consumer

- Nashua, NH, USA

My low beam headlights keep going out even after I change them. The driver side has been changed 3 times, everytime it went out immediately afterwards. This last time it went out within two hours after changing it. It doesn't help that I have to do take the entire bumper off to change the headlight; not making it the easiest task.

I've been seeing many complaints about headlight failure.low beam headlight on the right side...plus you have to take off the front trim panel to access the bulb. Very bad design.
