The passenger side low beam light keeps going out. I have changed the light build 3 times in the last 2 months. The last time being Saturday morning, then on the way home tonight it is out again. Last Friday, it was working on my way somewhere and then quite. On my way home it started working again. It didn't matter if I turned, hit a bump, etc. It just goes on and off randomly. I have read many many complaints that this happens to others as well. I feel Chevrolet needs to do a recall and fix this problem for the safety of everyone!

Brake lights stay on all of the time except when foot is resting on the brake pedal. Have tried to change out the brake sensor and that doesn't seem to resolve the problem. Brake lights are one both in motion or when car is just sitting

Unit has had continuing intermittent power steering. Very dangerous at times. Bulletin 14116 is suppose to cover 2004-2006 Malibu, but dealer says its not covered. How could a recall not be a recall? unit also has dangerous intermittent headlights. Bulbs fine, has defective sockets inside the integrated headlight assembly. Other gms have had this issues but no recalls on the Malibu.

I noticed that my passenger side tail lights were very dim in further investigation I learned my passenger side brake lights were not illuminating at all when I push my brake pedal and when the pedal is pushed the tail lights do not illuminate at all and the problem continues into my blinker, reversing indicator, etc.. also when I check my VIN it tells me there are no active recalls for my car.
