Brake lights automatically come on when you don't touch the brakes and go off when you do. GM has had at least 2 recalls on this problem which this vehicle has gone through and now at 177,000 miles there was a 3 recall which GM won't honor due to high mileage. If it was unsafe at 150,000 miles why is it not unsafe now? We've had it fixed on our own which cost $200 and lasted all of 5-6 months.

Headlights burn out within a few months of replacement. Have had to replace two to three times a year. Poor design means the entire front end of the car must be removed to access and change headlight bulbs. Bulbs have gone out while driving on the highway, making a very unsafe situation.

- Las Vegas, NV, USA

Headlights continuously go out. I have owned the car for 5 years and have replaced the lights about 4 times but the bulb has never burned out on me the light just quits working. Used to be the passenger side only and every now and then if I hit a bump or hit the light myself it would flicker back on. Now the driver side light has refused to work for a year now. I have replaced it with a new light and new wiring harness and still will not work while the car is running. The light will come on when I unlock the doors though.

Low beams on my 2008 Chevy Malibu intermittently turn off and on. Initially, I thought bulbs had died so I replaced one then the other, however, same issue still exists. Sometimes when I am driving at night on the freeway, both lights will just go out. I have pulled over and giggled wires to lights and usually I can get at least one to go back on, however, this is an extremely dangerous default that should be resolved before a deadly accident happens as a result of headlamps not functioning properly.

There is some issue with my drivers door. I go to lock it when I get out and it unlocks itself and its only the drivers door that does it. My car was parked and not in motion. I started my car up to go home after work and when I shifted my car into gear the drivers door did not lock. I had to do it manually. On top of that happening my dome light is set to turn on and off when a door is open. All of my doors are closed completely and the dome light is still on.

Low beam passenger side headlight works intermittently while driving. It turns out that it was due to the electrical wiring harness burning out. This is not an easy fix for this model, to gain access to the headlight assembly the entire front bumper needs to be removed. I was ticketed and had to pay the fine since I was not able to get a shop to take off the bumper within the 24 hour grace period allotted by the local police department.

I have had to replace my low beams several times.
