2012 Chevrolet Malibu Exterior Lighting

I'VE CHANGED MY DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT 3 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. THIS IS SEPT 18 AND I'VE REPLACED THE RIGHT SIDE 4 TIMES THIS YEAR AND THE LEFT 2 TIMES. AT THE MOMENT THE LEFT IS OUT. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE IS $130. THE ONLY THING ABOUT IT IS PAYING $130 TO TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG AND GOING IN BLIND NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO REPAIR. I'VE BEEN WATCHING TO SEE IF THERE WILL BE A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS. I LOVE MY CAR AND DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GET RID OF IT. IT'S PAID FOR AND I ONLY HAVE $118K MILES. THANK YOU

MY PASSENGER LOW BEAM KEEPS GOING OUT THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN A YEAR AND A HALF

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON THE PASSENGER CONTINUOUSLY GOES OUT AFTER REPAIRING. I HAD THE BULB REPLACED 3 TIMES, WITHIN A MONTHS TIME. I ENDED UP GETTING AN EXPENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC TEST, REPLACED THE SOCKET, AS SUGGESTED. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE BULB WENT OUT AGAIN. REPLACED, THEN IT WENT OUT AGAIN. I DROVE AROUND WITH MY HIGH BEAM ON (SO I CAN SEE) UNTIL I BURNT THAT OUT TOO. I JUST GOT IT REPLACED AND NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER IT'S OUT AGAIN. I CAN'T CONTINUE PAYING FOR THIS DEFECT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE OF RESOLUTION? I SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THE OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP.

FREQUENTLY, MORE THAN 6 TIMES IN A YEAR HEADLIGHTS BURNOUT PT QUIT WORKING. SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM

FIRST MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT SO I REPLACED THE BULB AND THE NEXT DAY IT WASN'T WORKING AGAIN. NOW MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS ALSO GOING IN AND OUT WITHOUT THE BULBS BURNING OUT. THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT WHILE RIDING AND WHILE STATIONARY, SOMETIME THERE ON WHEN I PARK THE CAR AND OFF WHEN I CRANK IT BACK UP AGAIN.

PASSENGER LOW BEAM CONSTANTLY GOING OUT, FOR A WHILE BOTH LOW BEAMS WOULD GO OUT THEN COME BACK ON.

I KEEP HAVING TO CHANGE MY HEADLIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES WAY TOO FREQUENTLY AND IT'S WAY TOO EXPENSIVE TO KEEP REPLACING THEM IT HAS GOT TO BE SOMETHING WRONG HERE!!!!

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. I CHANGED THE LIGHT ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND IT'S OUT AGAIN. NO BUMPS, ACCIDENTS, NOTHING. ITS JUST GOES OUT.

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS (FRONT LEFT AND FRONT RIGHT) STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER AWAY FROM HOME AT NIGHT IN THE DARK.

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW-BEAM HEADLAMP HAS FAILED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS. THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RESULT OF ANY IMPROPER USE OR OVERUSE OF THE HEADLAMP AND PROPER REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN DONE.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS STOP WORKING QUITE OFTEN. PASSENGER SIDE, FOLLOWED BY DRIVER'S SIDE. REPLACED BULBS SEVERAL TIMES OVER THIS PAST YEAR OR SO, ONLY TO FIND THIS LAST TIME THAT THE BULBS WEREN'T BLOWN, JUST NOT WORKING. CHANGED PIGTAIL ON PASSENGER SIDE, PUT SAME BULB BACK IN, LIGHT WORKED FOR A FEW WEEKS, BUT THEN STOPPED WORKING LAST WEEK. LAST NIGHT THE DRIVER'S SIDE STOPPED WORKING AGAIN AS WELL. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE PATTERN. PASSENGER SIDE STOPS, THEN NOT LONG AFTER, DRIVER SIDE STOPS. SEARCHED ONLINE FOR HELP. INSTEAD, I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH SUGGESTIONS TO REPORT IT HERE IN CASE IT IS A WIDER INVOLVED ISSUE. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE EVERY THREE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VALENTI AUTO SALES (399 N COLONY ST, WALLINGFORD, CT 06492, 203-774-4035) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE COULD BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO LIGHTS BURNING OUT. (LOW/ REGULAR LIGHTS & HIGH BEAMS) UPON INSPECTION, MELTED BULB SOCKETS NOTED. WHEN LIGHTS, BULB SOCKETS REPLACED/ REPAIRED, LIGHTS WORK ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME & THE ISSUE REPEATS ITSELF. THIS IS A HUGE ANNOYANCE AS IT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, FINANCIAL BURDEN, & MOST IMPORTANTLY, COMPROMISES DRIVER & PASSENGER SAFETY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST AND ONCE AGAIN WE ARE FACED WITH THIS ISSUE, TODAY. 5/30/18.

I HAVE REPLACED MY HEADLIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES THIS YEAR ALREADY AND NOTICED AND FEW TIMES A HEADLIGHT WOULD GO OUT THEN COME ON OCCASIONALLY THEN IT JUST GOES OUT PERMANENTLY UNTIL A REPAIR IS MADE

MY LOW BEAM PASSENGER AND DRIVER HEADLIGHT GOES OUT EVERY 2 TO THREE MONTHS. I HAVE CHANGED MORE HEADLIGHT BULBS AS MUCH AS OIL CHANGES. BELOW IS A LINK LISTING MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPAIR CAN COST UP TO $200 AT THE SHOP. I'VE ALMOST BEEN GIVEN A TICKET, BUT LUCKILY I WAS LEAVING AUTOZONE WITH MY LIGHT AND RECIEPT WHEN I GOT STOPPED. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR HAS FIXED THE HARNESS AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE HELP US GET THIS RESOLVED TO KEEP SAFETY AND VISIBILITY ON THE STREETS AND TO PREVENT UNNECCESSARY TICKETS FOR HARD WORKING PEOPLE. HERE IS THE FORUM LINK. THANKS. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T32066_DS667897 THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY. ONE DAY I TURN THE CAR ON AND IT'S JUST OFF. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN POLICE CHEVY'S DRIVING AROUND WITH ONE HEADLIGHT LIGHT ON.

I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY HEADLIGHT OVER 10 TIMES THIS YEAR. EVERY MODEL OF THIS CAR I SEE DRIVING HAS THE SAME ISSUE.
