    I HAVE OWNED MY CHEVY MALIBU FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND SINCE I'VE HAD IT I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT THREE TIMES. AFTER I TOOK THE BULB OUT THE THIRD TIME I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE UNIT IS MELTED. I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO PUT ANOTHER BULB IN FOR THE FEAR OF A FIRE. I KNOW QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THAT OWN MALIBU'S AND I KNOW OF 2 OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I DO THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR A POSSIBLE DEFECT. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH ONE OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS OUT, BUT I FEEL I HAVE NO CHOICE.*AK

    A DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM CAUSED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS TO WEAR PREMATURELY, THE NEW DESIGN CREATES TOO MUCH HEAT FOR THE ROTORS TO DISSIPATE THEREFORE THE ROTORS WARP PREMATURELY, THIS DESIGN FLAW ALSO CAUSES VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGH SPEEDS. NLM
