1 Fog Light Switch problem of the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu

Failure Date: 04/26/2021

The passenger side led light (day time/fog light) has gone out. I searched online to see if there was a recall and ran across a lot of chevy owners with the exact same problem at the exact spot. If there isn't a recall then one should definitely been in order. Led light should not have gone out and I shouldn't be charged an arm and a leg to diagnose the problem.

Failure Date: 07/19/2014

2002 Chevrolet Malibu LS sedan presented has noticeably weak and inefficient headlights and fog lights posing a safety issue. The fog lights are not effective in mildly foggy driving conditions at all. In fact due to such poor performance, it is quite difficult to discern whether or not the fog lights are turned on. Headlight performance is poor with markedly decreased lighting efficiency in city driving and on wet roads. The vehicle headlights dim and or flicker when the driver depresses the brake to slow the vehicle or come to a complete stop. Concern that on coming traffic can't discern between high and low beams or a confusion from the unintended dimming/flickering. Vehicle electrical systems have been checked with no problems found. Alternator/generator check ok, new battery check ok, serpentine belt and pulleys check ok, all bulbs, fuses, and fuseable links check ok. New bulbs tried, but no increase in lighting output.
