I bought a 2004 chevy Malibu in August of 2004. Since that time all 4 signal lights and one headlight assembly have burnt out and needed to be replaced. The left rear signal light is now inoperable. Making this the 5 time I have had problems with the signal lights. I have asked them (Chevrolet service department) to check the entire electrical system every time and every time they tell me that the problem has been resolved. Several times the work invoice copy said, "replaced signal light bulb" there appears to be a more serious issue to this problem and I see that I am not the only one that it has happened to. Although no fire has occurred, I feel that there is definite safety hazard when it unexpectedly stops operating because you are unable to signal other drivers that you are turning.
