Turn Signal Problems of Chevrolet Malibu - part 1

All electrical inside car goes out or on and off while driving. All dash gauges, speedometer, gas gauge, radio, heat/ac, turn signals, etc. Car still runs but nothing on inside works. I do not know if this control outage effects the abs or steering. It only last for a few seconds. It has happened several time will drive 50 to 70 mph. I've let off the gas and try not to panic. Everything comes back on and I continue home. I'm scared to drive my car.

First, the car routinely burns out turn signals, and overheats the turn signal to the point that it melts the housing thta the light bulb snaps into. I have had to replace the headlight housing/lamp wirings harness multiple times along with many light bulbs. Second, there is a recall for the electronic power steering. My particular VIN was recalled for an electronic power steering sensor. The power steering has gone out on me while driving twice, so I brought it to the dealer. They indicated the electronic power steering motor needs to be replaced,and is not covered under and recalls. There appears tobe numerous recalls on gm vehicles related to the electronic power steering, and replacing motors for that matter, but the dealer has indicated there is no such recall related to my particular vehicle/VIN. This seems rather suspect with the number of recalls related to these vehicles, and for me to have the steering go out, but my particular vehicle does not qualify. I was driving on a city street when it went out once. I made it home safely, albeit very hard to turn the wheel, and then the power steering worked after turning off the vehicle and back on again. It went out again in the parking lot of the car dealer when dropping it off the be looked at.

The turn signals work sometimes and sometimes they don't work. I researched this on the internet and it seams to be a serious problem with this car make. If there are no recalls on this there should be. This is a major safety hazard. I just bought this car for my teenage son.

The car was having interment electrical issues with the turn signals, and radio going off and on. Now, the radio stopped completely, and the turn signals do not function. I have a low battery after testing. Is this part of the generator module recall?? it is very unsafe for my daughter to drive, as there is nothing lit up on displays anymore.

Passenger side headlight keeps burning out over the last couple months. As of this morning, both break lights and rear turn signals are randomly working. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I've read a lot of posts about people dealing with issues with the power going specifically to headlights, as in it is too much voltage and that is causing the light to go out.

My passenger side headlamp light (turn signal) assembly keeps burning out and melting the bulb housing and orange lens. It burned a hole in the orange turn signal lens. I replace bulb after bulb but it keeps failing. Please issue a recall because no car owner should have to keep replacing bulbs constantly only for them to fail over and over again! this happens when the car is stationary, moving, etc. .

Passenger head light and turn signal continues to go out. I've had it fixed numerous times and even been pulled over. Every time I get it fixed, it goes out about 4-5 days later. There are a lot of complaints about this online.

The contact owns a 2005 Malibu maxx. While operating the vehicle, the passenger and driver side turn signals malfunctioned and would not illuminate. The vehicle was taken to lewis Chevrolet of garden city (1903 us 50 bus e. , garden city , KS) where it was diagnosed that the headlight bulb sockets had melted and damaged the bulbs. The dealer stated that the bulbs could not be screwed out of the light bulb sockets and the entire headlight bulb assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact indicated that the failure occurred to both the driver and passenger side assemblies on multiple occasions. The manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 160,000.

Driver side low beam headlight keeps going out. Replaced 2x in less than 90 days, still not working. Light works just before the new bulb clicks into place in the connector, but then as soon as the connector clicks in place, the bulb goes out. Has happened multiple times, same thing. No other issues with lights, turn signals, hazards, etc. . . Only the driver side low beam headlight. Happens regardless of whether or not vehicle is in motion.

When I first turn the car on it will flash service esc and power steering wheel also flash at that point I have no power steering, and then I will turn the car off and turn it back on and I have power steering there is no flashing of esc or power steering. The steering wheel will shake while stationary. In the last year I have replaced all four turn signals at least twice and both headlights at least twice. When I turn on the car the headlights will flash and then one will go out while the other one stays on driving down the road I don't hit any bumps or potholes or anything like that and the head light will come on, at that point it stayed on for one day and then it went back out again. My third brake light will work off and on, more off then on. My rear defrosters do not work at all and the control on the driver seat does not work either. Within the last month we have replaced the battery and cables for the car and was told that that should fix all the electrical problems and it did not. I have 2 videos of what the car does but cannot upload on here.

Fuse 6 blows when left turn signal is activated. It first blew in oct 2018, then not again until December (several times) and still happening again in Jan 2019. Signals will work fine for a day or two after replacing fuse, but then fuse blows again.

My 2002 Chevrolet classic has a dangerous condition where the turn signal/hazard warning flashers become inoperative. The condition is completely random and occurs intermittently. This has created surprise unsafe situations when making lane changes and left and right hand turns. Chevrolet knows about the faulty turn signal/hazard warning flashers however no recalls have been made. In April 2006 Chevrolet sent a somewhat dismissive letter about the condition. However the letter clearly states this is not a recall and do not take your vehicle in for service. At that time my 2002 Chevrolet classic did not have the condition described in the letter. I feel the language and intent of the letter was confusing and created opportunity for Chevrolet to disregard the customer.

2nd cylinder is misfiring and something seems to be leaking antifreeze, causing my engine to overheat, which I see is a large issue in chevy Malibus. My turn signal/hazards also don't work 85% of the time, which is a recall for my make, model, and year (Chevrolet, Malibu, 2001) but not my VIN number. Another issue I see is my left headlight shines out from the side, which I also saw to be an issue in several of the same models of my car. Keep in mind I bought it recently, used, so the date I noticed the issues was fairly recent.

Bought car used at 136,000 miles. Car radio does not light up or work, and horn doesn't work. Drivers side back window won't go down. First day driving the car, turn signals stopped blinking and then started blinking again. Suspension in the back squeaks badly when driving at random and going over speed bumps. Did not drive the car for more than one day and now car won't start at all (no crank, no start). These are major safety issues including serious electrical problems. The battery is only one year old on the car when purchased, so should be good. These electrical issues need to be recalled. Now I am stuck with a car that has so many problems and won't start and is definitely not safe to drive.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu. On several occasions, the driver and passenger side turn signal bulbs failed to operate as intended. Upon inspecting the bulb and wiring harness, the contact became aware that the turn lamp housing was melted, which caused the turn signal to become inoperable. The contact stated that the bulb and housing were replaced on three occasions; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to wheelers Chevrolet GMC (2701 s maple Ave, marshfield, WI 54449, (715) 502-4130) where it was diagnosed that the turn signal housing and bulbs needed to be replaced. There was no remedy for the failure. The contact stated that the bulbs and housing were being replaced every two months. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

The turn signal lights are burning out the socket as well as the light covering. I have to replace the bulb it seems like every month.

The park light/daytime running lights are constantly melting the amber lens. The bulb socket melts causing the turn signal not to work. Every few months I have to remove headlight lamp and fix bulb so it will work. I have seen a number of people with the same problem with their Malibus. Chevrolet needs to fix this problem. This should be a recall as many as are having this problem.

Driver side front turn signal lamps are burning out in one to two weeks even when replaced with gm parts. Both rear turn signals lamps are also burning out quickly.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu maxx. While driving 35 mph, the air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. The contact also stated that both turn signals failed to function. The failures recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.

The front turning signals have not worked for 2 years I have had the head lights completely replace twice. The second time I had them replaced when the light housing of the turn signals were opened the light bulb and hook ups were melted together.

I purchased a 2013 certified pre-owned Chevrolet Malibu from a Chevrolet dealership in November of 2014. I was satisfied with my purchase for a few months with no issues until I started having problems with the electrical. My first frightening experience was traveling on the interstate exiting onto a highway via a cloverleaf. While merging onto the highway, I lost all power, including power steering. Luckily no one was in the other lane, as my car veered across the line, into the other lane. The power came back on a few seconds later. I brought my car into the dealership where I purchased it, however they were unable to pinpoint the issue. They scanned the vehicles system for error codes, cleared the codes and sent me on my way. Since this initial issue, my car loses power randomly while driving, parked, using my turn signal, turning left, turning right, etc. The power steering goes out, the dashboard and vehicle display monitor go black. Some instances it will flicker, other times it will shut down completely. I have had it towed from my driveway as I have been unable to turn it on and towed from a retail parking lot. I have had the car inspected by the dealership 4 times and a separate privately owned garage twice, with no resolution. I contacted gm/Chevrolet regarding the issue and a case number was given to me. They had me bring my car to a Chevrolet dealership. After their inspection, the dealership stated it was the positive battery cable that is malfunctioning. I reached out to Chevrolet again about a resolution and they indicated the vehicle is outside of warranty so no repair support will be provided. If this issue would have been resolved within the initial inspection, the certified pre-owned status of my vehicle may have covered repairs. My concern is the larger impact of others experiencing the same issues and getting the same response by gm.

The turn signal bulbs get too hot and melts into the socket which makes the connection go bad. Even if you change the bulb the connection is bad so the socket has to be changed. This has happened on both of the front bulbs.

Tl-the contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu maxx. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 5 mph, the turn signal lights on both sides overheated.

No repaires were made to the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 280,000. Nw.

Bulb design flaw: it burns hot and melts through bulb socket. Original bulb 3157 burns plastic housing on front directional turn signals on Malibu. It is a liability issue - faulty design made for failure and possible major fire hazard issues.

Front turn signal sockets melted.

Turn signals work only sometimes.
