problem #2

Jun 092008

Malibu LX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 35,000 miles

The lights seem to bounce - especially seen at 55mph or higher. Quite annoying - and haven't found a solution yet.

Update from May 26, 2009: The headlights would constantly bounce with every variation of the road surface. Finally, almost a year later, and after several trips to the mechanic, a mechanic bent the tabs on the headlamp assembly that fit into the frame, creating a tighter fit and the problem is solved. What a relief!

There is nothing wrong with the alignment or tires and I've had the sockets checked, but the lights flicker or bounce when I am driving. It almost seems as though the headlights are loose. Is anyone else having this problem?
