The esc turns off pretty much every time i drive the car. last monday the check engine light came on when the transmission was slipping m. the the transmission would no longer shift and the solenoid is stuck open while driving home from work. prompting the dealership to try and sell me a whole new $5,000 trans. when the car only has 130,000 miles on it. the transmission has been running slow on acceleration but has never been stuck in first gear leaving me left on the side of the road waiting for help to come get me. the headlight burn out like every 6 months resulting in taking off the bumper or paying $200 from the dealership for a $5 bulb. i have no pictures since my car is at the dealership waiting for me to either go get or pay for the transmission.

I have a 2010 chevy malibu and the passenger headlight keeps going out. not burning out, but quits working! i have gone to change the bulb and we realized that it wasn't burnt out. all the other lights on that side work fine. we wiggles some wires and it would work again. a few times we could tap on the headlight assembly and it would come back on. so we put it together again and it worked fine for 2 weeks or so before it went out again.

I have had the same problem for months now. my headlight (both sides at different times) keep going out. i've probably changed my headlights at least 6 times in the past 6 months. i've had the headlight harness changed as well because that burned out. 2 months later the new one burned out!!! i've read so many complaints about the same issue, chevy needs to do something about this. i'm so sick of buying headlights, harnesses, and paying for service!! its not like you just pop the headlight in on this stupid car.
