2002 Chevrolet Malibu

HEADLIGHTS DIM WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED SUCH AS COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN TO NEGOTIATE TURNS. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE VISIBILITY IS COMPROMISED DURING NIGHT DRIVING. IT IS VERY EASY TO MISS TURNS, EXIT RAMPS, AND ROAD SIGNS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO GM SERVICE CENTER, AND WAS TOLD THIS OPERATION IS NORMAL. BATTERY, AND CHARGING SYSTEM NO PROBLEMS FOUND. NEW HEADLIGHT BULBS INSTALLED NO DIFFERENCE. VEHICLE IS LIKE NEW CONDITION; ALWAYS GARAGED. NO DAMAGE, RUST, OR MODIFICATIONS. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE IS A TSB #02-06-03-008A CONCERNING THE ISSUE.

AFTER READING OTHER COMMENTS, I HAVE TO LAUGH. WHY CAN'T THEY FIX THIS WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS. THE TURN SIGNALS JUST STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY. THREE DAYS LATER THEY WORKED. THEN A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT THEY STOPPED WORKING AGAIN AND THEN JUST SEEMED TO WORK WHEN THEY WANTED TO. TOOK IT IN TO JIMMIE JOHNSON CHEVROLET WHEN THE SIGNALS WERE NOT WORKING. PICKED UP THE CAR TO HEAR THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. SURE ENOUGH THE SIGNALS WERE WORKING. THAT LASTED ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. SINCE THEN, TWO MORE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH PRETTY MUCH THE SAME RESULT EACH TIME. NOW I NOTICE IF THE WEATHER IS VERY WARM, THE TURN SIGNALS WORK MORE PART TIME AND WHILE IT IS COOL THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL. NOW, I HAVE READ YOUR COMMENTS HERE AND BEGAN PLAYING WITH THE HAZARD FLASHING BUTTON. IF I PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE UPPER RIGHT, THE TURN SIGNALS WORK. I NOW HAVE AT LEAST A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION TO TAKE TO JIMMIE JOHNSON CHEVROLET. MAYBE THIS WILL STRIKE SOME SORT OF RECOGNITION TO THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR WRITING YOUR COMMENTS. *TR

I TURN THE KEY TO START MY CAR. I DRIVE TO THE CORNER TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ONTO THE MAIN STREET. THE TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED BEFORE. I THEN TURN ON THE TURN SIGNALS LEFT TO CHANGE LANES AND MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE SIGNALS DON'T WORK AGAIN. THEN I COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND THE HORN GOES OF ON ITS OWN AND I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TRIED TO STOP THE HORN BY TURNING OFF THE CAR. THE HORN IS STILL GOING. I TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND THE HORN IS STILL GOING AND THE LIGHTS STILL ARE NOT WORKING. I HIT WITH AN OPEN HAND THE HORN TWICE AND IT STOPS, BUT THE TURN SIGNALS STILL DOESN'T WORK. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE HEADLIGHTS CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE WHEEL THAT ADJUSTS THE LIGHTS FROM BRIGHT TO DIM DOESN'T WORK. YOU CANNOT ADJUST THE LIGHTS AND IF YOU TRY, ALL THE LIGHTS, INSIDE AND OUT GO OUT. ALSO THE TURN SIGNALS ON BOTH SIDES(LEFT AND RIGHT) WORK WHEN THEY WANT AND I DON'T HAVE A HORN. ONCE A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE LIGHTS WERE BLINKING AND THE HORN WAS GOING OFF IN MY CAR WHILE THE CAR WAS OFF AND PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. HELP ME!!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE PARKING AND TURN SIGNAL BLINKER INDICATORS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE LAMP CONTAINED MOISTURE. THE FAILURES OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE LAMP WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN NEGOTIATING A TURN AND WENT TO USE THE TURN SIGNAL AND IT WOULD NOT WORK. SINCE THEN IT ONLY WORKS A QUARTER OF THE TIME AND OFTEN THE HAZARD RELAY IS CLICKING IN AND OUT VERY FAST LIKE IT IS SHORTING OUT. IF YOU PUSH THE HAZARD BUTTON IN SOMETIMES YOU CAN MAKE THE TURN SIGNALS WORK AND SOMETIMES NOT. AND OFTEN TIMES THE HAZARD WILL NOT WORK EITHER. NO FUSES ARE BLOWN? *JS
