Passenger low beam head light goes out every 2 months. I have replaced this 3 times. Replacing the headlight requires removing the front bumper and it is $120 just to remove the bumper to determine the issue. New connector and pigtails have not solved the burnout issue. Upon an internet search, I found other have the same issue with passenger headlight. . Read more...
2010 Malibu with 108,xxx miles, headlights go out at various times, bulbs have been replaced and the issue continues. No help from dealer except offer to replace headlights again.
The dash board lights do not always come on when the car is first started and sometime they go off while driving. My son-in-law told me to pull over, shut off the motor, pump the foot feed 3 times and then restart the vehicle. That seems to work most of the time. But I should not have to do that. I have had the head lights go out at night when I hit a bump and then they came back on when I hit another bump. The cruise control does not always work. I received a notice that my taillights may not always work and to let them know if I have that problem. Well hell I am driving the car not running along behind it!! do I have to wait until someone rear-end me to find out that they don't work? not sure what kind of airbags I have in this vehicle but with history of electrical problems that may also be an issue. These problems have existed from the time the car was new. I have had it in to different shops to have it checked out and every time they tell me they think it is fixed. I am just waiting for the next shoe to drop. Is the competition for car makers so vicious that they need to rush production at the cost of customer safety to get vehicles out ahead of their competition? they continue to put more bells and whistles on these vehicles so they can charge us more up front and for continuous repairs. This is totally insane. Give me back my '57 chevy. Never had any of these safety issues with that honey!!!.
