2016 Chevrolet Malibu Exterior lighting Problems

“I get routine service to my car & my engine is clicking, loudly. The check engine light continuously goes on & off & I was told by Chevrolet service department that they could not even run a diagnostics to see what the problem is because the check engine light was off when I got to the dealership. Sometimes 'service battery charging system' will illuminate but it too picks and chooses when to illuminate. Sometimes it shows 'battery saver activated' and this is the third battery I've purchased! …”

“Water poured into the back seat and onto my son. Took car to dealership where diagnosed that third center brake light is not sealed and leaking water. Same issue as all other 9th gen malibus (2016+ model years). Did not notice leak until 43,000 miles, out of warranty. Who knows how long it has been there! Many parts ruined and potentially moldy from water damage. Gm customer care said the repair is $4300 of which they want me to pay $1900 despite this being a design or production flaw.”

“I recently purchased a 2016 Malibu ls (july 29, 2017). At the time of purchase it has 2,100 miles. It currently has aprroximately 4,600 miles. The vehicle has only it's orginal factory equipment and has not been in any crash, collision or has had any body work done. The headlights are alligned. I believe the vehicle has inadeqate illumination, especially for such a recent model year. The low beams and the high beams are not bright enough and do not illuminate the roadway far enough. It is especially noticable on turns. …”

“Third rear brake light leaks/allows water into inside of car and frame cracks on both sides. Water leaks into headliner and trunk and stains interior. Car smiles humid. Happens very time it rains and wash car. This is the second time this has happened. First time parts were replaced, second parts still have the same problem and issue still occurs. Poor quality parts.”

“Passenger side head light went out while driving then came back on a couple of weeks later. Two weeks later driver side light went out. Two weeks after that both lights went out while driving even highbeams not functional while driving. All lights not functional at the moment.”
