I have taken the car to numerous shops to get the matter fixed but no code shows up when being tested for and blown fuses. The complete right turn sing all and head lamps gouts out when I use it to turn right. Everything goes completely black as I am driving the car. Really am afraid to drive car at night. Can you tell me what could be wrong?

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu. While parked and exiting the vehicle with the key disengaged, the interior lighting and radio remained on. Also, when the key was engaged in the ignition, the vehicle would fail to start. The contact would sometimes have to make several attempts to start the vehicle. The failures occurred on several different occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the failures could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000...updated 06/08/17

I have felt from the beginning that this car had poor headlights. Since purchasing this car I have avoided driving it at night because the headlights are not sufficient for me to drive safely at night. I have commented as to this condition to my dealer and had the headlights adjusted and that may have improved the situation some. I have a GMC pickup that I drive at night. Iihs has rated this cars lighting as poor. Is there or will there be a retrofit to make this car safe"?" I am considering trading for a different model, that is how serious this headlight deficiency is.
