1999 CHEVROLET MALIBU — ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS

PURCHASED VEHICLE 5/04/01. HAD TO RETURN 2 DAYS LATER FOR MELTED BRAKE LIGHT SOCKETS ON LEFT REAR. BULBS WERE REPLACED. MELTED AGAIN WITHIN 3 WEEKS. WENT BACK TO DEALER, WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T CHECK IT THEY WERE TOO BUSY. MADE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE FIXED. THEY REPLACED BULBS AND REWORKED SOCKET BUT IT STILL FAILED. THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. I HAVE REPLACED BULBS ON AVERAGE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. I THINK THEY HAVE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAUSING THE BULBS TO MELT THE SOCKETS. NOW THE TURN SIGNAL AND BACK-UP LIGHTS ARE STARTING TO MELT. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT ALSO WORKS SPORADICALLY. FRONT BRAKES SHUDDER WHEN APPLIED AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED, ROTORS WERE CUT. STILL HAVING SHUDDER AND EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES.*AK
