2011 Chevrolet Malibu lights complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 130, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have replaced the driver's side headlight more than 5 times, the pigtail has been replaced and the wiring has been rewired. Headlight is out again but the bulb is not burned out, it's almost as if it's a shirt in the entire harness.
Passenger head light and turn signal continues to go out. I've had it fixed numerous times and even been pulled over. Every time I get it fixed, it goes out about 4-5 days later. There are a lot of complaints about this online
Takata recall my passenger side low beam light keeps going out I have had it changed over 10 times and each time the light bulb is not blown but won't come on
My low beams keep going out on both sides. All other lights seem fine with no apparent issues. I have changed out the bulbs, then found out they were still good all along. I have also replaced the connector. I have noticed that the connector was burned mostly on the drivers side. I changed out both due to the fact you have to remove/partial remove the bumper in order to work on the headlights. The headlights will work for a while then stop again usually only one side at a time. I was told by a friend who also had the same issue on a 2012 that it may be the auto light staying on and the circuit may be overheating. Not sure if this is accurate but it sounds logical. This has been happening for 4 years now with this month being the most recent after about 6 months since replacing wires and I have not seen any know recall on this issue. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
3rd time passanger headlight has gone out in the last year. Along with the previous issues I reported
Takata recall. Brake apply sensor fluctuates on and off also turning signal is not working on the left or right even though the bugs been changed and inside the vehicle it shows a turning signal, no rear brake lights when driving or at a complete stop. Even though fuses and new bulbs replaced, electrical shortage with radio and cigarette lighter, also replace bulbs and headlights and they continue to shorten out and blow
Driver side headlight low beam keeps going out I have replaced the bulb 5 times and keeps going on and off. Some days it works some days it doesn't. I have been pulled over for this a few times and I have to show officer the receipts I have to prove I have tried to fix my light. Please do a recall on this as I have seen alot of complaints about this same issue.this needs to be fixed there is obviously an issue with the headlight and it is very dangerous to not be able to see correctly while im driving and is distracting to other vehicles as well.
My passanger side low beam headlight is continually going out. It has been replaced over 5 times this year. Only having issues with passanger side.
My low beam headlights both go on when using remote to unlock door, but as soon as I put the key in ignition and turn it to start the car, the passenger headlight goes out. I have taken car to dealer twice in the past 6 months and they replaced the bulb, which is obviously not the problem. Yesterday it went out yet again.many people have posted the same issue with this car. Initiate a recall. It's obviously a manufacturing issue.
The passenger side low beam has been replaced 4 times and the connector once. The drivers side low beam has been replaced once. All this within about 9 months. Now, the passenger side goes on and off and the drivers side is off. This has become a nuisance. The front of the car has to be removed or pulled out to get to the lights. It's time consuming and costly. Now I have to spend more money to fix these issues again. It's a terrible safety issue. What if I am driving at night or in inclinate weather and the lights go out? Please advise that chevy announce a recall. This is a widespread issue.
Well first I seen that my driver side low beam light was out then later it went on then again it went out again so I repaired it then about a month later it went out again then I fix it again and the same thing happen again its a on going thing as I see online a lot of other people are having the same problem as me.I hope they can get to the bottom of this to fix ,it not right for me to keep buying headlights ,as clearly as we can see everybody has the same thing going on with there headlight. Thank you.
My passenger low beam keeps going out. I have gotten it changed 4 times and the last 2 months. No one knows the problem and the bulbs are no t burning out it just stops working. I have spoken to a number of people that have the same year body and make that has been dealing with the same exact issue as me.
Front passenger headilight keeps going out at any time. It's not the bulb, but the connector.
Passenger headlight (low beam) keeps going out. It is extremely difficult to get to and expensive to get someone else to fix it. It comes back on sometimes when I hit a bump in the road then goes out again a day or so later. The last one I replaced was I won't purchase another vehicle without finding out first if the minor maintenance can be done on my own.
2011 chevrolet malibu , a continuing problem with the low beam head lights going out after replacing them several times. Just replaced them again about two weeks ago ( both head lights ) and they are out again. This is a problem because of the design. You have to take the bumper and both fenders off just to get to the head lights. Checked on-line and it appears that numerous of people are having the same issues. This obviously is a problem, especially if you are driving at night long distance and you have another issue after replacing them already.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet malibu. While attempting to use the low beam headlights, the contact noticed that the lights were not illuminated. The contact stated that the bulbs needed to be replaced more than usual. The contact also mentioned that the turn signal indicators were blinking erratically. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer where the contact was informed that the bulbs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. Also, while inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the wiring harness was melted and emitted a burning odor. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
My break lights light up when I am not pushing on the break pedal and traction control turns off when I am in motion. Only happens sometimes.
The passenger side low beam is malfunctioning. The bulb has been replaced several times and keeps going out. Upon researching this problem it appears to be a widespread problem with this vehicle. This is an extremely dangerous situation for the countless owner/operators and passengers involved.
I have replaced my drivers side low beam light 5x this year sometimes I can bump the headlight every now and then and it will turn on but 90% of the time it stays off
I have had to change my passenger low beam bulb 3 times in 2 years, drivers side twice and my drivers side just burnt out after two months. After researching numerous forms this seems to be a problem from 2008-2012 malibus
Headlight bulb burned out - and it is not possible to replace without specialized training and tools. This is a severely safety issue since most people don't have access to a car dealer in the middle of the night when a headlight goes out. Replacing the lamp requires removing parts of the fender and the entire bumper, and requires socket wrenches and mechanical ability beyond what the average vehicle owner will have. Driving with one headlight because gm couldn't figure out how to make it possible to replace the headlamp without tools is dangerous.
Passenger side low beam light has burnt out 4 times in 2 years. I replaced it with regular lights the first 3 times and the last time used LED lights and still burnt out in 8 months.
My low beam lights keep going out. Keep going out after being fixed this needs to be a recall it keeps recurring over and over on my 2011 chevy malibu ls. Headlight bulbs or it's the socket keeps burning out.
Driver side low beam headlight continues to go out after frequent replacement. Pigtail connections are all tight and properly attached.
My passenger side low beam headlight keeps going out. I just had the bulb changed, and it went out in a couple of hours. 90% of all chevy malibu's use on the road have the same problem. What do we have to do to get a recall about this. It's very irritating and expensive!
My headlights keep going out. I have changed bulbs on both passenger and driver side and then light went back out at different times on both sides. I then noticed that passenger headlight went out again, and this time when I went to change it, it came on when I touched the pigtail so I figured there was a short somewhere. When I took the lightbulb out, I noticed the pigtail was fried, so I changed the pigtail and bulb this time. A few weeks go by and the same exact thing happens to the other side. I changed the light bulb and pigtail on the drivers side. This continues to happen and I've not mentioned how difficult it is to change the bulb. The whole front bumper assembly pretty much has to come off. This is not easy to do and is a pretty bad design flaw. Since I've noticed that the light comes on when the pigtail is shaken, I have to disassemble the bumper just to get to the light. Someone really needs to look at this. Finally, I must also add, I have seen more than 10 chevy malibu's, not sure of the year, but is the same model as mine, with a headlight missing. It makes me wonder, are these people having the same issue? Do these people maybe just have a headlight blown but knows the headache it is to remove whole front bumper assembly just to change headlight? Have these people gotten tired of changing the headlight because it keeps blowing out? Please look into this.
Passenager side headlight has been replaced 3 times within the last year. Twice within 3 weeks. Twice the connector was melted from overheating. Have also replaced driver side twice within the last 3 years. Overall have replaced the passenger side 5 times within the last 2 years. Vehicle has been stationary with all findings.
Front passenger headlight keeps going out. While in motion on a city street a warning comes across that says engine power reduced. Then the ESC and service traction control comes on. The car then drops to 5 MPH and stops. I turn it off and turn it back on and there is nothing. I wait a few seconds and try again and it starts up and I'm able to drive it.
Lowbeam constantly goes out. After restarting the computer the fuse has fire for about 30 seconds and then goes out again.
