In less then one year the passenger side low beam light is out. I look on line and a lot of 2012 malibu are having the same problem. It cost over $100 to change it because they have to remove the bumper to do it.
My headlight keeps going out I had the bulb replaced and electrical sockets and it keeps going out this is the 4th time I have had to have the same work completed.
Low beams both headlights repeatedly go out. Heater/air conditioner turns off and on by itself. Motor has been changed and tested. Is there a wiring problem with this vehicle across the board. I read a lot of people with this vehicle have the exact same issues. Heater/air turns off while in park or drive randomly.
I've changed my driver's side low beam headlight 3 times in the past year.
Changed my headlights 4 times within 2 years
The passenger side headlight keeps going out I'm changing these out every couple months I've researched and found several other drivers are having this same issue
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.
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
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.

I have had to change my headlight over 10 times this year. Every model of this car I see driving has the same issue.
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.
Passenger low beam constantly going out, for a while both low beams would go out then come back on.
Low beam on passenger side goes out frequently and randomly. I thought it was just my luck. However according to https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t32066_ds667897 there are a lot of people with the same issue. Ive been lucky enough to keep getting stop by nice cops, but this is getting bad. I have a 1year old that I cant take out in the car because it isnt safe. For who knows what reason. Please help.
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.
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.
The passenger side low beam light bulb socket keeps burning out. Replaced the bulb 3 times in one year. The socket is the problem, keeps shorting out. When I replace the bulb the socket where the bulb plugs in to is burnt and melted.
