There is some issue with my drivers door. I go to lock it when I get out and it unlocks itself and its only the drivers door that does it. My car was parked and not in motion. I started my car up to go home after work and when I shifted my car into gear the drivers door did not lock. I had to do it manually. On top of that happening my dome light is set to turn on and off when a door is open. All of my doors are closed completely and the dome light is still on.

Low beam passenger side headlight works intermittently while driving. It turns out that it was due to the electrical wiring harness burning out. This is not an easy fix for this model, to gain access to the headlight assembly the entire front bumper needs to be removed. I was ticketed and had to pay the fine since I was not able to get a shop to take off the bumper within the 24 hour grace period allotted by the local police department.
My passenger side low beam stopped working. I changed the bulb and it still wasn't working. When I took a closer look, I noticed the connector was melted.
Lighting not working in car, power lock not working, power truck open not working, bad suspension.
I have had the transmission totally lock up and sound like braking plactic,had to replace the transmission. Dashboad lights either do not work or flicker. Fast flashing as if a bulb is out than it fixes itself. Numbers running across the radio screen than stops.
Right low beam keeps going out. Even after replacing the bulb with a new bulb it will work for a short period of time then go off but not burnt out.
I will be driving down the road and my ESC light comes on and it causes my brakes to engage by there selves it has happened several times now
I have been having a lot o problems with my low beams I've changed them 3 times checked out all fuses and wiring sometimes they will work mostly not seen alit of complaints about the same issue just saying thank you
I have had to replace my low beams several times. A couple of times a mechanic replaced the (melted and scorched) housing that holds the bulb and it works for a little while but eventually one of the lights goes out again. I have wasted much time and money on this issue and realize I am not alone!!!
Esc always turning off. Brake light illuminating randomly and not working randomly when in motion. Cruise control disengaging if ESC light comes on when control
Front passenger side headlight keeps shorting out after being fixed multiple times.
Front low beam lights keep going out replaced low beam bulbs 3 times in 6 months and replaced harnesses once and low beam headlights continues to go out. Brake lights stay on when car is started and continues to stay on while driving. 3rd brake light doesn't work all the time. It lights up bright sometime, dim sometime, and other times it don't work at all.
Low beam headlights keep going off. Replacing the bulb does not resolve the problem. Both drivers and passengers side lights have gone out. This is an ongoing problem, over the course of the last 12 months.
2008 chevy malibu passenger side headlight repeatedly has burnt out socket, melting inside. Wiring harness and bulb have been changed out three times and issue reoccurs within days. Bulb has not been touched. Wiring seems in tact. No one seems to be able to resolve this issue, even though this seems to be an extremely common issue on forums. We'd like to be able to use this vehicle and safely. Thank you.
Passenger side headlight goes out repeatedly! Bad wiring, multiple customers are having this same issue
Replaced passenger headlight harness twice, as the low beam/ daytime running light connector burns until the bulb itself burns out, or the connector falls off the bulb. Mostly noticed at night, as the automatic headlights are usually needed then.
Passenger headlight keeps blowing out
Brake lights staying on while car is in parked and while vehicle is turned off
While in motion brake light stays on.
My low beam on my 08 chevy malibu continuously burns out at the connector. Have had to take it in several times to have it fixed which is costly and so inconvenient/time consuming. This started to happen to my vehicle in march 2018 it is now january 26 2019 and I am still dealing with this issue.
I been having issues with my passenger side headlight . Thought is was the bulb that didnt work. I then replaced the connection and I worked for a 4 months now it's the same issue again.

My airbag light is on airbag issues, I have had my headlights checked three times and they keep going completely out there is an issue with the headlights the steering is always shaky its been an ongoing issue with my car
The low beam headlights keep going out. Replaced the bulbs a few times but still keep going out every few weeks. It is hard to know how and when it goes out. It is unsafe to drive with this problem that can happen at night middle of road. It is also extremely difficult and costly to replace bulb each time.
My drive shaft line broke by my the gear shift
My passenger side low beam headlight keep going out. My mechanic has checked everything bulb, wire harness wires everything possible. I have used aftermarket and gm brand parts and have the same issues. The light would sometimes come on when hitting a bump but now nothing. I can no longer depend on my vehicle for night driving. The light would also come on after a few seconds after starting.
Highbeam headlights did not come rather car is started or not.
Passenger side headlight keeps going out. Changed bulbs, wire assemblies. Problem still occurs.
