Takata recall when I'm driving my vehicle, the headlights flicker as if I'm the police. I took it to Firestone and they told me to take it to a dealer the car only has 160,000+ and it just started every time I accelerate or drive it does this and I'm afraid that I will either get pulled over by the police, hit someone or someone hits me or/and the lights go completely out while driving at night. Is this due because whenever you have to change the build, the whole bumper has to come off to replace it? I like my car but this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. I see a lot of complaints regarding this

My car wouldn't crank then it would crank. Till I was driving down the road and it just died on me going around a curve lost control of steering and brakes thank god I didn't wreck so I got in line and researched and come to find out that it was something to do with fuel pump relay connection to fuel pump relay box. The wires aware too little voltage for the fuel pump and burnt wires to fuel pump relay box. I see that there are a lot of complaints on same car as line. So I'm filing a complaint cuase this is very dangerous.

I have a 2012 Chevy Malibu and since November we have had headlight problems and changes bulbs and got a new wire harness and we still have problems with passenger side low beam light going out. It is a real pain cause it takes a bit to even get to the headlight. Have to take the bumber off and real frustrating.

Passenger head light has been replaced several times it keeps turning off. Light bulb is not burned. When taping on or moving wires light goes on replaced wires and still having same issue. Vehicle can not be driven at night time. All this happens when vehicle is turned on.

Takata recall when my vehicle started having issues it started with lagging to start I would turn the key and literally let go and then it would start. Now it's to the point where it doesn't always want to start. When it does my sensors are all messed up. First time my airbag warning was coming up. Next my sensors on my tires were not working then I started to notice when I was driving and I would stop pushing the gas the gauge will go up and down. The last thing that happened was the check engine came on but turned off. I tried to get a diagnostics done but of course nothing came of it. So now my car is just sitting in my garage until I figure it out. But there are no type of check engine light or anything that comes on before the car starts not functioning properly

Head lights keep going out

- Hephzibah, GA, USA

I have replaced my low beams 3 times this year. The first time I reaplaced all the bulbs. The second time I reaplaced both wiring harness and bulbs. A month ago I replaced the passenger bulb and now the drivers side low beam is out again. It has cost me anywhere from $100-$200 each time to do this! I also have a problem with my dash telling me service ESC, ESC off, and service traction. A recall in 2014 addresses this issue and my VIN says the recall has been serviced but I am still having this issue. It happens with the car in park and while driving. Sometimes it stays on for hours sometimes minutes.

Headlamp harness keeps burning causing headlamp to fail to illuminate. Have replaced multiple bulbs as well as both harnesses within the last 6 months and again, harness has burnt and my low beam headlamps do not work. Reading similar complaints, I believe it has to do with the daytime running light feature. I've noticed the issue both when the vehicle is moving and when it's stationary. While there hasn't been a fire as a result of this issue yet, I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

My right side low beam keeps going out. I have replaced the bulb 5 times this year. I've replaced the wiring harnesses for the light bulb. I really don't understand why this keeps falling

- Lacey, WA, USA

My driver side light continues to keep going out after a couple weeks and the bulb is not blowing this is a common problem with the Chevy Malibu definitely needs to be recalled and fixed because if you don't have headlights can cause a bad accident. If you hit a bump it goes out. I was on a back road at night and both lights went out almost causing me to crash

- W. Bridgewater, MA, USA

Replaced low beam lights multiple times, had the wiring harness replaced due to a shortage that was supposedly leading to the low beams light blowing out constantly. Low beam lights still keep going out. Ongoing issue

- Wharton, TX, USA

Without warning the cluster of gauges start going crazy and all warning lights are illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle loses power steering and vehicle speed will not exceed 20mph. Eventually the vehicle stalls out.

Car would turn over but not crank. Go back a little later and it crank fine. After this happening several times had someone take a look at it and there was no codes and the car would crank fine so couldn't find the problem. Then when I was out somewhere it would crank and run sluggish and go dead and after a while it would crank and run. Got to researching it and people having same problem. Said that you could wiggle fuel pump relay and it would crank. Sure enough tried this and it worked. I'm pretty sure this is same problem. And also if you had been running the car and it wouldnt crank the fuel pump relay will be hot which suggest the wiring and or fuse box is problem. People talk about replacing fuel pump, fuse box, and cheap low gauge wiring from fuel pump to fuse box. Now I'm taking to mechanic to try to get this fixed before it catches fire and someone gets hurt. Try to get fixed and buy a Honda or anything except GM.

Both headlights will not come on (low beam) high beams work fine. Bulbs are new and fuses are working just fine..someone needs to put in a recall because I see I am not the only one with this issue..this is ridiculous! can't drive without headlights and can't drive with high beams

My Chevy Malibu would turn over slightly, but then would die. This happened about 3-4 times and then I had the battery replaced; thinking it was that. The car continued to fail, so I had the fuel pump replaced after checking with a fuel gauge and there being no fuel pressure. The car ran about 3 times driving it for shorter and a bit longer distances, but then the car would not turn over at all. The starter would try, but there was no ignition of the car. At my local Chevy dealer, don mccue, they diagnosed that the rear fuse box and a few terminals were burnt out. They replaced the rear fuse box and a few terminals, and the car now runs successfully.

When driving or sitting at idle not moving service ESC and traction control flashes on dash. Which is causing check engine light to stay on causing misfire on cylinder #1 and then random misfire. The car hasn't been able to be inspected in 2 years have had at 3 Chevrolet dealerships and all can't figure out issue. The 1st dealership said we have no idea what's wrong with the car. The second dealership said the car needed #1 injector and injector harness and throttle body which was replaced didn't even make it off the lot and check engine and traction control and ESC lights was flashing again they said might have cracked head car has been pressure tested doesn't use water and doesn't get hot. They are just trying to throw parts at it at my expense. The 3rd dealership which car is at now is telling me possible burnt valve causing all my issues with car said they did compression test and all cylinders have 170 pounds in all 4 cylinders which is not possible. I have replaced map sensor, PCM, spark plugs, 1 injector, injector harness, throttle body and nothing has helped car. The car never had any issues with misfire until the ESC and traction control started flashing and in 2 years still has been solved at any dealership very disappointed in need of help to fix issue

On two occassions the power steering suddenly went completely out while on the highway. Since I got the car 2 years ago I have had many issues with the lighting amd electrical. The brake light works when it chooses to even if K done push the brake and with new bulbs it may not work. The headlights do the same. They come on and go off when they choose to. I have replaced bulbs over 20 times in the past 2 years when I didn't actually have to. My sensors also don't work which I was told was an electrical issue. I have a front light that won't go off so each time I cut the car off I have to unplug my battery so it doesn't die. The date posted isnt the only date its happened it was the day it all started.
