The right headlight keeps going out. I have changed the bulb 6 times in two weeks. I have changed the plug and it still keeps going out. It is the low beam light bulb that malfunctions. I have changed the switch for the lights and also took it to a car shop. Nothing is fixing it.

Passenger low beam headlight burned out 6 times and had to be replaced each time. Driver's side low beam burned out twice and replaced each time. Both headlights were replaced every time one went out. This was done to be safe as it is difficult and time consuming to replace. Currently driver's side is very dim and passenger side is out again and vehicle cannot be driven at night. Lights have gone out at random times and have caused very poor night vision. Luckily no accidents, but have been pulled over twice because of the issue. A couple incidents the headlights would go on and off when hit bumps in road. I read many reviews and believe this is a very common issue, GM is aware of the problem and has not recalled the vehicles to fix it.

In 2019, my vehicle's tail lights, blinkers, headlights, & interior lights went out. I began to receive dashboard notifications from my car about traction control in early 2018 and earlier this year I started receiving notifications of problems with my airbags. I bought new bulbs, but that didn't solve my lighting problems. I took my car to a Chevy dealership and was charged/paid a large sum of money to be told I needed a new fuse panel and headlight bulbs. I was told the panel wasn't available due to a strike at the plant & to come back later to have the panel installed. I returned later to be told that the tech didn't record his findings on my profile so no one knew what was wrong with my vehicle and was asked to pay out more money. Therefore, I took my vehicle to a different dealership and it was documented that my vehicle required a substantial amount of wiring which includes, but not limited to, body control module (BCM), body harness, a new fuse block, labor, etc., the price tag is in the thousands. I conducted online research and learned of recalls on my vehicle. I contacted Chevrolet and was told there was no recall on my particular VIN although there is a recall on the year, make and model of my car and there was nothing Chevrolet could do to assist me. However, for every single issue I am experiencing with my car there is a recall for it. I am unable to drive my financed vehicle due to safety hazards and the possibility of being ticketed by the police or worse. I received notice for one recall after purchasing my car and that was for a seat belt. From my understanding 13036 is the BCM Chevy recall number. Please let me know if more information is needed.

My headlights have been replaced 3 times in the past 2 years (twice in the past 6 months). I am a single mom and cannot afford to continuously pay $180 to have bulbs replaced. I have to take it to a mechanic shop because the front bumper has to be removed. This last time, the left low beam light, would go on and off and then it just finally went out. It did not matter if I was sitting still or if the car was in motion, however, I did notice it happened more when I would hit bumps. It is almost like their is a loose wire somewhere. This vehicle needs to be recalled to fix the faulty issues that myself and others are having.

Headlights and high beams keep going out got the changed 6 times in less than 4 months came back on one time when I had the anti theft problem and had to jump my car but then back to being out again

The low-beam headlights keep burning out. A melted socket was the first issue. It was repaired a month ago and now the same problem is again at play. There must be an electrical short. This is a common problem with these vehicles that many have reported. It costs dearly to have a mechanic take apart the front of the vehicle and work on the lights since you must take off the whole front bumper to access the headlights. I have paid for repair and bulb replacement already in the past 2 months. To see it happening again is very discouraging.

My 2012 Chevy Malibu passenger side low beam has gone out for the second time in less than a year. After doing some research, I found this is a common issue for the Chevy Malibu. Entries stating similar issues specifically effecting the same passenger side low beam, totaled more than 300 on carproblemzoo.com this is not only a monetary issue, not only a resource issue, but a significant risk to operator and bystander safety. If GM does not acknowledge they have supplied a faulty product, as described by the hundreds of complaints listed online, they are complicit to any accidents or injury caused by their lack of action and concern. My own experience has been frightening, noticing a lack of power after I'm already on the road, only seeing one light from my car reflecting on another car or surface. The general public takes great care to make sure their vehicles can both safely operate and Transport themselves and others. With this damaged part in Chevy's Malibu, making great strides for a safe vehicle could be for nothing if the light does not do its job. With this in mind, please consider the climate we live in today. The difference between a faulty headlight, and a reliable light, could mean life or death not only for those on the road, but for poc, targeted by police, for a faulty headlight. In 2015, darrius stewart was a passenger in a 2009 Chevy Malibu. He unjustly lost his life to a police officer after the driver was pulled over for what do you ask? a headlight out. Darrius stewart.

Headlights repeatedly go out, even after changing the low beam lights almost every month. Low beams will randomly go on and off, stationary or in movement. I live in the city, most times driving in darkness. Very dangerous.

- El Paso, TX, USA

The left headlight doesn't get power. The low beams to be exact. But now both low beams aren't getting power. The radio doesn't get power either. I believe it's a faulty wire harness. Please recall this vehicle. The lights go out at random times both moving and stationary. It's uncontrollable, also very unsafe for who ever is in the vehicle.

Upon starting my vehicle, the left lowbeam headlight was out, I tapped on the car next to the light and it came back on, the next day I started my vehicle it was out again but wouldn't work after tapping, got it repaired but less than a month it went out again along with the right side, they repaired it by installing multi purpose connectors and now the left low beam headlight is out again, this is getting way too pricey and time consuming.

Repeatedly fixing low beam headlight. Passenger side first now both low beam headlights. Switched to low beam on secondary road to have no lights. Pitch dark.

- Sundance, WY, USA

Passenger side headlight intermittently goes out for no apparent reason. The vehicle could be stationary or in motion and it does not matter. Sometimes the light will go out and back on when moving over a bumpy road.

- Centerburg, OH, USA

Passenger side low beam headlight goes out intermittently. Bulb is not burnt out. Have replaced complete harness, usually solves problem for a month or so and then light goes out again. Have changed grounding also but problem still persists. This is a dangerous problem and have been pulled over by police for 'burnt out' headlight several times now and have to explain how it is a vehicle flaw, not a bad bulb. I know I'm not the only one experiencing this issue, it is all over the internet with others having the same exact problem.

- Caro, MI, USA

I have had the same problem for months now. My headlight (both sides at different times) keep going out. I've probably changed my headlights at least 6 times in the past 6 months. I've had the headlight harness changed as well because that burned out. 2 months later the new one burned out!!! I've read so many complaints about the same issue, Chevy needs to do something about this. I'm so sick of buying headlights, harnesses, and paying for service!! its not like you just pop the headlight in on this stupid car.

Driver side headlight kept going in and out until completely going out and not working. When getting a new bulb put it it did the same thing a week later. The wiring in the headlight is faulty. The same thing goes for the front speakers of the car. The front speakers will come on and off on their own as well.
