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.

Front headlight will go out like it is burned out - but then randomly turn on later - change the bulb and it will work for a few days then shut off

Passenger side low beam headlight connection between bulb and harness keeps melting causing headlight to not turn on. Have changed out wiring harness many, many times in a year.

The low beam headlights will stop working, but the bulbs are still good. This has happened while I was driving. Both lights do not work and replacing the bulb does not fix the problem.

The low beam light on the passenger side keeps going out I've changed it twice and its still going out as if there is a shortage

- Hanceville, AL, USA

Three times in two months the passenger low beam has gone out. I work nights and each time it has gone out it has been while I am driving to work in the dark. I have researched the issue and no clear answer has been given on how to fix the issue.

The headlights on this vehicle go out but the bulbs are not blown. There is an issue with the connectors that cause the headlights to go out and come on sporadically. Sometimes the light will come off or on if it is hit or kicked, or if a bump in the road is hit. This causes the premature trashing of bulbs that seem to have blown. This is a problem unto itself but even more problematic since the entire bumper must be removed in order to replace (any component of) a headlight. Mechanics are familiar with this issue for several GM vehicles within a certain time frame. I have chatted with several owners of Cadillac, Impala, and Malibu that experience the same problem.

I bought my 2012 Malibu about 2years ago and after warranty expiration I started having codes saying to service air bags but the codes won't stay constant and no one knows why for some odd reason. On top of that the passenger side head light has been changed 5 time in less then a year and a half and once again no one knows why. I'm not the only person with constant issues the manufacturer needs to be held responsible for faulty equipment

Both low beam headlights go out too often. The lights are not burned out because they'll work for a few weeks and will not work for months at a time; individually or simultaneously. The passenger harness and bulb was replaced at winter Chevy in pittsburg ca in 2018 and went out again a few months later. The low beam lights have been a consistent problem since I purchased the used car in 2015. Both low beam lights had bulb replacements 3 times each. Both low beam headlights have been out for months.

For nearly 4 years after purchase, I am constantly changing my passenger and driver side headlight bulbs. I have changed my bulbs more times than I can count. It is becoming very expensive. While driving; my driver side highbeam and low beam went out while it was raining yesterday. I live in a very mountainous area and without my headlights that work properly it is very feasible that I could get in an accident even driving under the speed limit without proper headlights. Many online car forums mention a daytime running lamp relay causes these issues. This needs to be investigated for I would love to let my newly licensed son drive it.

For months I been dealing with my low beams and high beams not working on my passenger side then one day the high beam work for a few minutes I have gotten pulled over by the police, I have changed the bulbs, I have took it to midas to get it checked out and they couldn't figure out the issue. I'm taking it to another mechanic tomorrow. I see I'm not the only one having this issue

- Philadelphia, PA, USA

Headlights burn out repeatedly! happens randomly, on either side after car has been off. I am averaging 1 to 6 months after a headlight change, it is very costly on this model since the whole front bumper cover must be removed to change a bulb.

The passenger low-beam light has an issue. I'm not alone, thousands of other Chevy Malibu drivers have all reported the exact same issue. The wiring harness that connects to the low-beam bulb keeps over-heating and melting, causing the bulb to go out. I have replaced the pigtail three times now, and it keeps going out. I have even pulled the drl fuse, which many believe could have been the problem, and it still keeps happening. Please issue a recall for this issue as I am not alone.

Recently purchased 2012 Chevy Malibu July 13, 2019. Two weeks after purchase the passenger headlight went out. Changed it, and now its out again 5 weeks later. This seems to be a common problem with these cars. I have found online many people complaining of the very same problem. (passenger headlight) some say to change the wiring harness as they seem to get overloaded and melt (but that fix doesn't last long either from what I read) others say the daytime running light relay causes an issue and should be taken out of the car. It says in the owner's manual that drl reduces the light output of the headlights for daytime running by 30%. this seems to be what is causing the amp draw for the low beams to skyrocket in drl relay. The massive amp draw is too much for the terminals in the plug, so they get super hot and melt the plastic plug. The metal terminals relax from the heat and stop making good contact, which worsens the amp draw problem causing the light to not work. ( but not necessarily due to the bulb burning out, as some have posted they put the passenger bulb in drivers side and the bulb still works) this issue could potentially be very dangerous especially at night if both headlights go out at the same time due to the amp surge. I believe this is a design flaw. I don't know how many complaints you have to receive for this to be considered a safety recall but please consider it! thanks

My passenger lowbeam light will not come on once the car is started. I have changed the bulb and wiring harness and the light will work for a few days and then will stop working. I have talked to other people who have the same issue with this car and Chevrolet wants 160 dollars to even look at it.
