I have replace my headlights about 10 within two years. Firestone have replaced the wiring, and my headlight still goes out. I'm beyond frustrated. If you go to cargurus.com, everyone is having the same problem. This is ridiculous!
I was sold a car priced at $4,995 but when the initial contract was signed the car representative failed to keep the price the same and without consent overcharged me for the car $10,000 I called back a week later to notify them the car had went out, was in bad condition, wasn't driving, and put me and my family in harms way. Car shutoff twice in motion once while actually driving on the freeway. I asked to have it repaired due to the fact that I was forced into purchasing their warranty that he stated came with the car but put in the contract later that I would pay $1000+ dollars for it when it's an expired warranty from 2017 when the dealer first got the car so it's only a extended warranty and doesn't help with anything. He came once to repair the car by putting some fluid inside to make it run & instead told me he changed the battery which turned out to be false the car kept cutting off and going out I kept seeking help it was david and abn motors who refused to fix any mechanical issue I was having with the vehicle and in return the car put me and my family in harms way it is a danger to have or drive with my kids cops said so also it cut off on the highway while driving and leaked an extremely large amount of oil while me and my kids were inside the vehicle I was forced to merge over completely to get out the way of traffic as the car just stopped motion. Something under the hood popped and the vehicle was smoky state officials order me and my family out the vehicle in toledo a hour drive away from my home. They stated it was a safety hazard and that I could not enter my vehicle and took it away. I had even sent over a message to the dealer representative I purchased the car from a month earlier stating I was having problems he refused to respond or help he stated that I already signed the contract and I should deal with it myself.
Passenger side low beam headlight keep going out I have replaced bulb and socket several times..it work only for 2 weeks and problem keep coming..this is fifth time I'm having to fix the issues
Car suddenly failed to accelerate as I pulled on the the interstate. Car filled with a burning smell. Dealer said the rear defrost malfunctioned and melted the fuse block located in the trunk damaging all wiring on the fuse block. I'm concerned that this bypassed the fuse and the relay with such a surge that it was hot enough to melt the entire fuse block. This could have led to a very serious fire where I was trapped in the car. I was fortunate to be able to pull off the interstate, but if I were in the far lane, I could have been stuck in a high speed lane resulting in injury to myself or others. The car is very low mileage and garage stored, so it is in very good condition and maintained regularly. Was just in to the dealer less than 10 days prior (power steering ESC recall) with no indication that there was a problem. This is a very serious safety issue. Car currently at phillips Chevy in frankfort, il.

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.

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
The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated upon starting the vehicle. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 12V224000 (electrical system). The contact called apple Chevrolet (8585 w 159th St, tinley park, il 60487, 708-429-3000) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
For no reason interior and exterior lights go on and off by itself. Neighbor reported car lights on 3:30 am. We also caught while keys were on table and locked the lights came on and off twice in the evening. This is while parked for the night.
Low beam lights continuously going out. Bulb is still good. Have replaced bulb. Took the vehicle to the Chevy dealership. They replaced some wiring or harness. Now passwnger side low beam is out again!
Got the car few months ago, car one day wouldn't start couldn't figure out finally figured it out, the fuse box in my truck I can hit it and then my car started just fine it happens alot to where I gotta hit the fuse box in my truck to get my car started thought it was the crank sensor but nope it has something to do with the fuse box in the truck & also heard it's the fuel pump relay.
I have a 2012 Chevy Malibu lt and at random times the car will shut down, while driving, while being stationary, and sometimes it don't even start when it's been off I took it to multiple mechanics and they couldn't detect any codes or seem to find the problem they changed the fuel pump, the fuel pump relay, the fuse, the ECM starter ignition coil, battery, alternator and the car still doesn't start randomly I have to turn the car to the on position then off more than 30 times and wait until I hear the fuel pump activate then I know it will start I have had the car cut off on me on the freeway, in the middle of malik a turn on busy streets I've been out at family events and when I tried to go home the car wouldn't start I need help
The service engine light has been on for 3 years. Chevy has been unable to diagnose the issue despite changing out the sensors and clearing the codes. This effects the rest of the engine settings including fuel as it adjusts them based on a default. The rail support for the driver's seat has also broken loose and fallen down which makes the vehicle unsafe to drive. This seat issue was only notice earlier this year.

My car will randomly not start. I have bought a brand new battery. That wasn't the problem. A week later, my gear shift wouldn't move. I had to stay in my vehicle and miss an appointment because of this. I couldn't get it to move from drive to park. After several tries and 30 minutes, it finally moved. It's gotten stuck a few times trying to move it from park to drive as well. And when I'm driving, the emergency lights will randomly illuminate and wipers won't work. I was driving when it was pouring rain and the wipers wouldn't turn on with all emergency lights illuminated as well. This can happen anytime I'm on a city street going from 25 to 45 mph. I have had to have it towed several times to different shops and they can't tell me what's wrong.
When turning on the car and when driving a message comes up saying "service air bag". the clock turns to military time without us changing it. Seat belts sign comes when seat belts are being used. Poor performance.
My car won't turn over after I turn it off sometimes. Sometimes it will be most other times it doesn't. the battery is new, spark plugs are new, sensors are new. Starter isn't the problem. Don't know what it could be? it was stationary when this happens, when I try to turn the car back on.
