My car's lights are melting,smoke even comes out of them. I've seen this on other 2005 chevy Malibus and they are all doing the same thing,which means its a manufactures defect. No one at gm wants to help me,and if my car doesn't get fixed its going to cause a fire. It has burned out my bulbs very quickly and often. I took my car in to a gm goodwrench service shop at american Chevrolet in modesto,CA. The service consultant there seen my car and said that it was not normal,he brought out another 2005 chevy Malibu that they had there and its doing the same thing. He tried to put me in contact with the gm,but I got told I was a liar,by a representative. I need help becuase there has to be a recall on the lights,before it causes a fire. Check and see any 2005 chevy Malibus and you'll see that its true. Thank you for your time.

Both yellow daytime running light covers are melted. There is a burn mark surrounding the holes over each light bulb -- on both the right and the left side of the vehicle. The clear plastic shell around the headlight is discolored as a result of the excess heat.
