Passenger low beam light keeps going out have replaced 3 time works for a couple days then goes out again. Very costly when you have to take whole bumper off to replace. Have seen many other complaints on Malibu's with same issues.

Passenger low beam headlight keeps failing every couple of months this is a big problem with all Chevy Malibu. Driver seat back breaks and causes the seat to be unsafe.

- Sandwich, IL, USA

Headlights continue to burn out regularly (requiring replacement of bults multiple times per year) and the wiring harness continues to melt. Because of the design of the car, the whole front bumper has to be pulled off to get access to light to replace--often at a high cost at the repair shop. This is unsafe, as the frequency of the burnouts result in having to drive with brights on at night when both lights unexpectedly go out. Reading the manual, the drl reduces the voltage to the low beams, which drives up the amps causing the extra heat to melt the wiring harness. This is a design flaw that needs to be remediated by a recall.

My 2012 Chevy Malibu passenger headlight has gone out 4 times in a year and a half. It is rediculous that it costs a minimum of $80 to have this work done and it is a safety hazard because the owner cannot perform the bulb replacement without removing the entire front of the car.

At 1st my car wouldn't crank every so often then started going drag while driving I googled it and had to beat on fusebox in trunk or wiggle wires so had to run wire straight to battery to fuel pump. My headlights on dim keep shooting and my speakers will go out sometimes

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

I have a 2012 Chevy Malibu. Thus is my everyday vehicle and when I have headlight problems it is very frustrating. We have had the bumper off this car multiple times which is a real pain. We have changed headlights, wiring harness and even undoing the battery. The passenger light comes on for a bit them will go off and not come back on. I have a loan on this car and can't even get rid of it cause I can't keep the lights on. Worse Chevy car I have ever owned. I have been pulled over for it being out and how am I supposed to explain it. Reading the reviews of this car online I am not the only person that has headlight problems.

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.

I have changed my passenger headlight bulb several times and it still does not work every time I have to fix it I am charged $100 or more. Also I have had to change the motor to my drivers side window twice. This also also happened to my 2000 Chevy Malibu. It seams like this model has many issues.
