Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE 2004 MALIBU IN JUNE 2004. IN JANUARY 2005, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL AND HEADLIGHT STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST SHOP, AND THEY REPLACED THE BULBS. A FEW WEEKS LATER, IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME. THEY REPLACED THE BULBS AGAIN. WHEN IT HAPPENED THE THIRD TIME I ASKED FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM, INCLUDING WIRING. THEY DISCOVERED THE WHOLE LIGHT CARRIAGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PROBLEM FIXED. IN MARCH 2005, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE LIGHT DID THE SAME THING. THE ENTIRE CARRIAGE WAS REPLACED. IT JUST SEEMED A BIT EXCESSIVE FOR A CAR LESS THAN A YEAR OLD.*AK
