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

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

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

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.

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.

Driver side headlamps going out. I've had to replace my driver's side headlight 3 times over the last 2 months. No automobile should go through headlamps at that rate. To complicate this issue, the entire front bumper must be removed to change the headlights. I've read on the forums where many Malibu owners are having the exact same issue(s) with the headlamps. This is an obvious design flaw and GM/Chevrolet should issue a recall with corrective action.

- Gainesville, FL, USA

I've had read so many vehicles with same issues on all these models I just purchased this car put a high down payment to be getting left everywhere all Chevy dealers dont know where to start and over price it all you all should look into it because its something serious. Car wont start after being used a while, you have to mess with cables and wires for it to start mess with fuse boxes and also sometimes it doesnt work.. do something about it I'm annoyed of this crap

- Odessa, TX, USA

My car would turn but not start so I changed the fuel pump. It was started for like 5 days then it started again would turn over but not start so we change the fuel box in the trunk. Worked for like a week and it started acting again. Took it to the Chevrolet dealership and the didn't find the problem. So we took it to a technician and they told us it was a wiring problem. Paid to get it fix but it still wasn't it. Still having the problem

Driver side headlight malfunctioning multiple times in past year. Head light will go out, at first could tap on head light and it would come back on. Have changed pigtail and bulbs only to have it work for a short period of time.

Low beam headlight going out. I purchased this vehicle in 2014 and my low beam headlights have gone out a total of 6 times. Changed the pigtails last time and iam now having to change the wiring harness completely and hopefully that will help. My cars lights are always on auto and always begins with my passanger low beam light going out first then the driver side a couple months after, has happened when turning on the vehicle and during driving. My high beams work fine with no problems at all. The first two times I have had a proffesional mechanic change them and the last couple times I've changed them myself now due to cost. Removing the whole bumper really makes this even more difficult to change. I have read many forums and they have also the same problem, its actually become very common to see many Chevy's with a head light out. I just want to make sure this is noted cause it appears to be a common problem with this vehicle company. Please help!

My low beam headlights will not work. I have changed bulbs only to find out it wasnt the bulbs...they still work. I have changed one of the pigtails and it worked for a while and stopped within a month. It started with only the right headlight and now it is both.
