general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

My Malibu healight on the driver side is going out a lot I just changed it 2 times last month and had the socket replaced that connects to the light bulb. Its only been 3 weeks and the light is cutting on and off! I can't get around at night and my job requires me to travel at night. Its costing me money to keep ttakig this car to firestone and sucks because I love the car .

The passenger side low beam bulb keeps going out. I've had this bulb replaced multiple times and had the wiring harness replaced because the bulb kept going out. After having the wiring harness replaced the bulb went out again.

Takata recall my passenger side low beam light keeps going out I have had it changed over 10 times and each time the light bulb is not blown but won't come on.

The passenger side head lamp is constantly in need of repair. After replacing the dim bulb several times, I had the wiring replaced to fix in an attempt to fix the faulty lighting. This still did not fix the problem and the r. H. Passenger dim lamp is out again. This is a problem for all 2009 - 2011 chevy Malibu vehicles. The lighting, once replaced, worked for a short period of time then it goes out. I am at the point of replacing the head lamp assembly which is pricey. The repairs were done several times beginning in 2018.

My mother"s 2011 chevy Malibu ltz has had a recurring problem concerning dash lights. It is quite common for us to be driving down the road and all of a sudden, there are no lights within the gauge panel or stereo face panel. Sometimes the lights will only dim, others they go out completely. On other occasions the lights don't come on at start-up and may turn on at some point, 10-15 minutes down the road. We've called the dealer the car was purchased from, starling Chevrolet-Cadillac to report these issues, only be told to bring the vehicle in "when it was happening", by the time we would get half way there, the problem stopped and the service writer says come back when it's happening. We've wondered if this could be related to the electrical issues for which Chevrolet sent out the extension of the warranty to 15 years or 120,000 miles. Another issue we've had relates to the older power steering recall. We've had the car in to starling Chevrolet twice that they have replaced the power steering pump. The problem I have concerns the un professional work of the mechanic who performed the service. While having tires replaced a couple of months after the power steering replacement, we were shown the way the starling Chevrolet mechanic had beat the devil out of the cars' under carriage. It's absolutely unforgivable for a chevy dealer to cause this kind of damage while performing a recall service!!! finally, is the first problem we incurred with starling. During the original test drive, the dealer's salesman proceeded to toss a drive-out tag in the rear of the car during which they damaged the paint. My brother tried to stop the salesman from using this tag hanger when he saw the unguarded magnet hanger, but the dealer rep wouldn't listen. It tooky a month to get the paint fixed and only then after mr. Starling got involved. The dealer changed hangers as a result!.

Front passenger headilight keeps going out at any time. It's not the bulb, but the connector.
