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!

My drivers side headlamp assembly the lightbulb kept on burning out and finally dealership got me a replacement bulb but than the bulb got really hot and burned the orange cover and it melted on the bulb and even got into where the lightbulb goes in. So I ended up buying a whole new headlamp assembly from dealership and replaced it. So I thought it fixed the problem nope here we are in april 2015 and sure enough the bulb is getting to hot and is causing the exact same problem. I've seen several other malibu max and they also have the same issue so when is chevrolet going to recall the malibu max for this specific issue?

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.

The seat belt do not lock in case of an accident. The drivers seat rocks while you are driving an adjusts by itself you can not keep the seat still. The welding has come apart from the base. The head lights are melting the bulbs for the signal and running light. I just caught that last weekend the lights stopped working when I look at the bulb it was melted which could have started an fire. I am waiting for the letter for the recall on the stern now.

Seat belt, stern,drivers seat, headlights. Not only that the rotor warps every six months.
