2006 Chevrolet Malibu Fuel System Problems

Major fuel leak from fuel pump from gas tank area. This occured while driving. Car needed to be towed for repair. Required replacement of electric fuel pump inside the gas tank.

FUEL PUMP PRESSURE SENSOR NOT WORKING VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE

I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE FUEL LIGHT LEVEL WENT FROM FULL TO EMPTY WITH THE WARNING LIGHT "LOW FUEL" LIT UP. THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT SEEMED TO GO BACK TO NORMAL, THAT IS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME AND THE NEXT TIME AND SO ON THAT I FILLED MY GAS TANK. IT IS CURRENTLY DOING THE SAME THING. I DO NOT EVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE NEEDLE GOES UP AND DOWN CONSTANTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT DISPLAYING THE ACCURATE INFORMATION, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION AND THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE DTC INDICATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN FOR AN APPOINTMENT AT NUCAR CHEVROLET (174 N DUPONT HWY, NEW CASTLE, DE 19720, (888) 626-3594). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. AFTER THE CONTACT FILLED UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED LOW FUEL AFTER A FILL UP OR RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND TO SUPERIOR CHEVROLET (4770 COVINGTON HWY, DECATUR, GA 30035 (404) 857-2830) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE MALFUNCTION. THE SENSOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WITHIN ONE MINUTE AFTER ENGINE STARTUP, AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO ZERO WITH ATTENDANT ALARM. IT DOES NOT REGISTER GAS UNTIL ABOUT 30 MILES OF DRIVING BEFORE GAS GAUGE SLOWLY RESETS ITSELF. THE FUEL CAP WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW UNIT BUT IT STILL HAS SAME RESULTS. IF THE TANK IS NOT REFILLED TO TOP AT GAS STATION BUT ONLY PARTIAL REFILL, THEN THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE PROBLEM LIGHT COMES ON UPON FULL FUEL REFILL AFTER ABOVE OUTLINED PROBLEM AND DOES NOT RESET UNTIL ABOUT 70 MILES RUN ON AUTO. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON AUTOS I HAVE OWNED OR CONSULTING WITH OTHERS WITH MORE THAN 45 YEARS OF DRIVING.

MY CAR DOES NOT REGISTER GAS PROPERLY. THE GAS HAND IS IRRATIC AND CONTINUOUSLY FLUCIATES FROM FULL TO EMPTY REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS. BECAUSE OF THE UNRELIABILITY OF THE GAS HAND, I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THEINTERSTATE! NO FURTHER EXPLANATION OF THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SHOULD BE NEEDED. AT TIMES THE CAR FAILS TO START AND IDLE PROPERLY. BOTH ISSUES ARE DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE FUEL CIRCUIT SENSOR LOCATED INSIDE THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX DUE TO LOCATION OF THE SENSOR. PLEASE RECALL.

FILLED MY CAR AND MY GAUGE SAYS I AM LOW ON GAS. I STOP TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART IT'S OK FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. AND IT DOES IT AGAIN AND NOW REMAINS ON FULL ## VIN PASSED ## AMERICAN CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 ##

NOT SURE WHEN TANK IS FULL OR NOT. READS FULL WHEN DRIVING AND EMPTY LIGHT GOES ON WHEN STOP THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT READING, WHICH PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM KNOWING WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL OR EMPTY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

I RECEIVED THIS CAR FROM MY DAD IN JANUARY OF 2014. HE WARNED ME THAT IF YOU FILL IT UP ALL THE WAY THAT THE GAS LEVEL WILL DROP FROM FULL TO EMPTY. HE SAID IT HAPPENED TO HIM AND HE HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON AND PRESS ENTER TO FIX IT. I NEVER FILLED THE CAR ALL THE WAY UP OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR UNTIL ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO (JANUARY 2015). AFTER DOING SO, THE TANK WOULD READ FULL AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES WOULD DROP DOWN TO EMPTY. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, THE GAS LEVEL WILL READ EITHER FULL OR EMPTY, NO IN BETWEEN, NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS I PUT IN IT. I SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, AND I AGREE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. WE SHOULD NOT TO HAVE PAY FOR AN OBVIOUS AND REPEATED ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. *TR

GAS FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY/THEN FULL, UNKNOWN HOW MUCH GAS IS IN TANK. WHEN IN THE MIDWESTERN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, DURING WINTER MONTHS YOU DO WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE WHICH LATER RESTARTED AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11E009000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V254000 (FUEL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I FILLED MY CAR AND MY GAUGE SAYS I AM LOW ON GAS. I STOP TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART IT'S OK FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. AND IT DOES IT AGAIN. *TR

UPON FILLING THE CAR WITH FUEL AND TURNING THE KEY ON, THE FUEL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE WAS READING EMPTY. TURNING THE KEY OFF AND BACK ON MANY TIMES DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, IF DRIVEN SOMETIMES THE GAS LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT TURN OFF ON ITS OWN AND THE FUEL GAUGE READS PROPERLY. HOWEVER, IT SHOWS AFTER 5 MILES OF DRIVING THAT THERE IS ONLY A HALF A TANK EVEN THROUGH THE GAS TANK IS FULL. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A RECALL ON FUEL PUMPS PERTAINING TO THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION. *TR

I WAS UN ABLE TO GET MY CAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE. I HAD TO PULL EXTREMELY HARD ON THE SHIFTER TO GET IT TO MOVE. *TR

ON 5/07/2014 I GOT IN MY CAR THAT MORNING TO TAKE MY 4 CHILDREN TO SCHOOL THE CAR STARTED AND DIED 3 TIMES. WHEN IT FINALLY DID START I COULDN'T GET IT OUT OF PARK! WHILE ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL I WAS NEARLY HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE MY BRAKES LIGHTS FAILED TO FUNCTION! THE PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE DAILY SINCE THEN. WHEN I WOULD DRIVE THE CAR IT WOULD TAKE OFF ON ITS ON, THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, I HAVE TO TRY AT THE MINIMUM OF 7 TIMES TO GET IT TO CRANK!! NOW IT IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE I CAN'T EVEN TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL MY NEIGHBOR HAS TO TAKE THEM AND PICK THEM UP! I WAS FINALLY SENT A RECALL LETTER THE LAST DAY OF JULY 2014. IN THIS RECALL ARE ALL THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. THEY SAY WHEN CALLED THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS TO FIX IT WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. WHAT AM I TO DO? I HAVE A CAR I AM PAYING FOR AND CAN NOT DRIVE!! I CAN'T AFFORD TO GO BUY A DIFFERENT CAR. I TOLD THEM SINCE THEY HAD NO IDEA WHEN PARTS WOULD BE IN TO JUST REPLACE MY CAR AND THE ANSWER WAS NO!! THEY ALSO WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THIS IS THEIR FAULT NOT MINE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING!!! *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY AND DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION THE FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO EMPTY, MY LOW FUEL MESSAGE CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL ALL THE TIME, ITS ONE OR THE OTHER NEVER ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. MY LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. WHEN FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY I HAVE TO SET MY TRIP SET TO KEEP UP WITH MILEAGE. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE FUEL GAGE DROPS DOWN TO EMPTY AND THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OFF NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM GOING IT DOES THIS. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS AND I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

WHEN I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK IT STARTED READING INCORRECTLY, AND WOULD SHOW EMPTY. OVER THE PERIOD OF A WEEK THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT THE SENOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS OVER A $500 COST. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE. FUEL READS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH THE GAS TANK IS FILLED. IT TOOK 3 HOURS AND 322 DOLLARS TO FIX.. UNREASONABLE IS ALL I CAN SAY... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY AN INACCURATE READING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE LOW FUEL GAUGE AND THE FUEL CAP WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT TWO FUEL LEVEL SENSORS AND THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11E009000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 147,414.

I HAD JUST FILLED MY GAS TANK TO FULL. I DROVE DOWN THE STREET FOR A FEW BLOCKS AND THE FUEL GAUGE ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT TO EMPTY. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN. THE FUEL GAUGE WENT BACK TO FULL. BUT AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE DOWN THE STREET, IT WENT BACK DOWN TO EMPTY. I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR FOR WHICH I DID. HOWEVER, UPON RESEARCHING THE LATEST RECALL OF GM'S THAT ADDRESSES THE STEERING COLUMN ISSUE (I'M HAVING THIS PROBLEM TOO), I DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR ISSUE WAS RECALLED PREVIOUSLY. SO I CALLED CHEVY AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT RECALLED. I NEED SOME DIRECTION/GUIDANCE ON HOW TO GET MY VIN INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE SO I MAY BE REIMBURSED. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO SINCE MY MALIBU ALSO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENSOR AS OTHER MALIBU'S? YOUR ASSISTANCE/GUIDANCE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR CHEVY MALIBU 2004-2007 ON FUEL PUMPS WITH A PART NUMBER OF TU456. MY FUEL PUMP HAS NOT BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY, AND I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WAS PART OF THE RECALL OR NOT. I AM HOPING THIS IS ONE OF THE VEHICLES THAT WAS IN THE RECALL, SO NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IF SO I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO FIX THIS AS IN CHEVY FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:11E009000 (FUEL SYSTEM AND GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE GM STATING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL CONCERNING THE FUEL SYSTEM IE FUEL PUMP ON MY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU. THIS RECALL CAUTIONED THAT INTERMITTENT STALLING MAY CREATE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION THAT COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN VEHICLE. AS A RESULT I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS CONDITION CORRECTED ON THE DATE OF THE APPOINTMENT I ARRIVED WITH THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION AND WAS TURNED AWAY. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THIS WAS A LIMITED RECALL AND THE RECALL FOR REPAIR HAD EXPIRED. I WAS ADVISED OF THIS RECALL BY MY REGULAR MECHANIC WHILE IN FOR UNRELATED MAINTENANCE. IT WAS THEN THAT HE INSTRUCTED ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH GM TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WITH NOT CHARGE TO ME. BEFORE I HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THIS RECALL, MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED WITH A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT THAT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM IE FUEL SYSTEM. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED ON THIS VEHICLE, AS A RESULT ANOTHER VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH MINE CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES AND POTENTIAL INJURY TO THE 2 OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE. IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ACCIDENT I WILL HAVE TO GET EITHER A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT AND INSURANCE CLAIM INFORMATION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS NECESSARY. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY AN INACCURATE READING. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 02/11/14*LJ

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 MPH AND MY CAR STALLED AND THE LOSS POWER CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL CAR REPAIR BUSINESS. THEY PUT IN A 3 PART FUEL SYSTEM KIT/ACD12568796 THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY ELE AND THE BILL CAME TO $654.92. THE MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 153101. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM AN INDIVIDUAL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR APRIL 2013 I KNEW THE GAS GAUGE DIDN'T WORK BUT I THOUGHT THAT'S OK I'LL JUST KEEP THE TANK FILLED UP AT ALL TIME. BUT I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WHEN IT IS IN IDLE POSITION. IT ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STOP ON ME. I'VE ASKED THE CAR REPAIR BUSINESS AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST ME $700.00. ALSO I HAD THE CALIPERS REPLACED AT ON 10/5/12 WITH A MILEAGE OF 147005 WHICH COST ME $531.92. IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING. *TR

I'M HIGHLY UPSET WITH MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS BACK IN JUNE AND I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY CAR AND I DROVE HOME THE CAR WAS FINE. GOT BACK IN THE CAR TO GO TO THE STORE NOT EVEN 30 MINUTES LATER, START THE CAR PULL OUT OF MY APARTMENTS AND IT IMMEDIATELY SAID NO FUEL! SO I FREAKED OUT THINKING SOMEONE STOLE MY GAS OR THE GAS STATION HAD SOME BAD GAS....THEN THE NEXT DAY IT WOULD GO BACK AND FORTH FROM F TO E. IT'S NOW ALMOST THE MIDDLE OF AUG. AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I RAN OUT OF GAS ON 8/2/13 TAKING MY MOTHER TO THE HOSPITAL FOR AN EMERGENCY! SOMETHING AWFUL COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND IT ALL WOULD'VE BEEN BECAUSE I CAN NEVER TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS REALLY IN MY CAR! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS, I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM AND FROM THIS SITE, COMPLAINT'S GO BACK TO 2011! THAT'S 2 YEARS AND NOBODY HAS TRIED TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED! THERE CAN BE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS!!! I WOULD LOVE TO NOT HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE I'M NOT PAYING $600+ TO GET SOMETHING REALLY SIMPLE FIXED BUT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DROP THE GAS TANK IT MAKES IT MORE EXPENSIVE.....PLEASE GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE I'M BOUT READY TO GET RID OF THIS CAR BECAUSE OF IT! HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS AND I REFUSE TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY ON A PART THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL. *TR

I FINANCED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2011 AND THREE MONTHS AFTER HAVING THIS VEHICLE THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE RUN OUT OF FUEL ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TRYING TO BRING GROCERIES HOME OR COMING FROM WORK. ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTHERS. LUCKY FOR ME I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HOWEVER, ITS NOT ALWAYS SAFE. IT IS GOING TO COST ME A GOOD BIT TO EVEN THINK ABOUT HAVING THIS FIXED. I STILL OWE A LITTLE OVER 8K ON THIS CAR AND I BOUGHT IT USED. I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF TRADING IT AND HAVING WHAT I OWE TACKED ON TO THE END OF THE NOTE JUST TO KNOW THAT I WILL BE SAFE AS WELL AS MY CHILDREN AND NOT WORRY ABOUT WHETHER I HAVE ENOUGH FUEL OR NOT. ON TOP OF THAT MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DOING MY OIL CHANGES AND SAYS THAT THERE IS OIL ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE MOTOR AND THE OIL HAS A RED TINT. I WOULD THINK AFTER EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN THROUGH TO EVEN END UP WITH THIS VEHICLE I WOULD NOT HAVE ENCOUNTERED ALL THESE PROBLEMS. I KNOW SOME MALIBU'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON PARTS AND EVERYTHING SO I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW I COULD FIND OUT IF THERE ARE ANY THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON THIS VEHICLE. I LOVE THIS CAR BUT NEED RELIABILITY TO GET TO WORK AND HOME, TAKING KIDS TO SCHOOL AND HELPING MY PARENTS WHEN THEY NEED TO GO TO DR APPOINTMENTS THEY ARE BOTH IN REMISSION OF CANCER SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS SAFE. *TR

I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND WHILE DRIVING FOR A LITTLE BIT THE FUEL GAUGE WHEN TO EMPTY, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MESSAGE READ LOW FUEL. *TR

I FILLED MY TANK UP WITH GAS AND AFTER DRIVING A FEW FEET THE GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE GAUGE WENT BACK UP TO FULL, BUT AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN A MILE IT WENT TO EMPTY AGAIN. I STOPPED THE CAR AFTER REACHING MY DESTINATION AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW HOURS. I THEN RECHECKED THAT THE GAS CAP WAS ON TIGHTLY. IT SEEMED FINE AND THE GAUGE WAS REMAINING AT FULL. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS OF DRIVING THE GAUGE IS STILL READING COMPLETELY FULL AND THE OPTION THAT TELLS ME HOW MANY MILES I HAVE LEFT REMAINS AT 295. AT THIS POINT, I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE VEHICLE. I AM FORCED TO STOP AND FILL THE TANK EVERY FEW DAYS SO THAT I DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY, NEVER GIVING AN ACCURATE READING. THE FLUCTUATION OCCURS MORE RAPIDLY AFTER FILLING THE TANK. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. WHEN THE LIGHT IS RESET, IT IMMEDIATELY COMES BACK ON. IF THERE WERE A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF TO AVOID POTENTIAL ENGINE DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY, I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO TELL FROM THIS LIGHT. *TR

I PULLED IN GAS STATION SHUT CAR OFF, ATTENDANT FILLED TANK, WHEN HE WAS DONE I PAID AND STARTED CAR, CAR DINGED A LOT AND GAS GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY, AND MESSAGE ON SCREEN SAID LOW FUEL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. LONG STORY SHORT IF YOU BOUNCE CAR GAUGE COMES BACK UP TO FULL, THEN DROPS BACK DOWN UNTIL YOU DO THIS A COUPLE TIMES, THEN RUNS OK. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY 03/31/2013, SEEM TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN I FILL THE TANK. I NOTICED THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS, IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? *TR

WHEN I PUT GAS IN MY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU THE GAS GAUGE IS SAYING FULL THAN I DRIVE IT SAYS EMPTY. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I NEED GAS.. AS I DRIVE AROUND THE GAUGE GOES WHERE EVER. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS SENSOR ISSUE BECAUSE I KNOW 4 OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE MALIBU WITH SAME ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING. THEN, I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE, AND SUDDENLY GAS WAS POURING OUT NEAR THE MUFFLER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR. TRACED THE LEAK ONCE WE GOT IT HOME. THE PLASTIC LINE ON THE FUEL PUMP HAD CRACKED. I LOST OVER 1/8 OF A TANK AFTER I PARKED IT. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW MUCH I LOST WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I AM THANKFUL THAT THERE WERE NO SPARKS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PARK THE CAR. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY YOUNG CHILDREN. I MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM OUT OF THEIR CAR SEATS FAST ENOUGH HAD I NOT IMMEDIATELY TAKEN PRECAUTION. *TR

THE FUEL SENSOR IS VERY ERRATIC. AS SOON AS THE CAR IS FILLED UP WITH GAS, THE FUEL SENSOR WILL GO FROM F TO E IN THE MATTER OF SECONDS. WHEN THIS PROBLEM FIRST BEGAN, THE GAUGE WOULD GO FROM FULL TO EMPTY UNTIL I DROVE JUST ENOUGH THAT THE CAR'S FUEL LEVEL WAS NOT COMPLETELY FULL. AT THIS POINT, THE SENSOR WOULD WORK AND I WAS ABLE TO RELY ON THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE DASHBOARD. AFTER SOME TIME, HOWEVER, THE SENSOR STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. NOW THE SENSOR IS CONSTANTLY MOVING FROM FULL TO EMPTY FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. I HAVE TO KEEP TRACK WITH THE TRIP MONITOR. AUTO REPAIR SHOPS HAVE QUOTED THIS REPAIR AT AROUND $600 STATING THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW FUEL ASSEMBLY KIT. THIS ISSUE MUST BE FIXED IN ORDER TO PASS EMISSIONS TESTING. *TR

FUEL GAUGE WOULD GO FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON! NOW LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL! *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. (1) IT IS ALWAYS AT FULL. I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT. ONE TIME MY CAR STOPPED AND ENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS TIME I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH BECAUSE MY CAR WAS IN PARKING LOTS. (1) IT IS ALWAYS AT FULL, BUT INTERMITTENTLY DROPS FROM FULL TO EMPTY,AND BEEPS LOW FUEL MESSAGE. AND THEN AFTER SECONDS IT BOUNCES BACK TO FULL. AFTER SEVERAL ROUNDS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL TURN ON. SEARCHED THE WEB - SEEMS LIKE PLENTY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED AND INDICATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE GAUGE EVEN MALFUNCTIONED WHILE IN THE PARK POSITION. A WEEK AFTER THE FAILURE STARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PERSONAL MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO DROP THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 66,900.

APPROX A FEW MONTHS BACK I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK, AS I STARTED DOWN THE ROAD MY GAS GAUGE WENT FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND MY FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND SO DID MY ENGINE CHECK LIGHT. IT DID IT SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BY THE NEXT DAY IT WAS FINE AND HAS BEEN FINE UP UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO. THE GAS GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND THE ENGINE LINE COMES ON. IN 2007 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH IT STARTING UP AND WHEN I WOULD SHUT IT DOWN IT WOULD CONTINUOUSLY STAY CRUNKED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BASICALLY THEY GAVE ME A DOCUMENT ID#2001730 REPORT THAT IT WAS A NORMAL CONDITION. I STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY CAR STARTING. I STARTED TO DO RESEARCH ON MY CAR AND SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SAME ISSUES. I DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SHORTED OUT AND I NEED TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON FUEL PUMPS BUT APPARENTLY NOT FOR MY VEHICLE IN PARTICULAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED AND WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH FUEL, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD ERRONEOUSLY DISPLAY AN EMPTY READING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE NOR WAS THE VEHICLE TAKEN FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000. ..UPDATED 05/09/12 *BF UPDATED 05/14/12

FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS AT F AND INTERMITTENTLY DROPS FROM F TO E AND BEEPS LOW FUEL MESSAGE AND THEN SECONDS GO BY AND IT BOUNCES BACK TO F. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING, STOPPED. INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SEARCHED THE WEB - SEEMS LIKE PLENTY OF THE SAME COMPLAINT. NOT WILLING TO SPEND $500.00 TO HOPE TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED! I WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK FUEL LEVEL WITH NOTEPAD AND TRIP INDICATOR. *TR

PURCHASED A USED MALIBU 2 YEARS AGO. MY CAR IS A 2006 MODEL AND NOW HAS OVER 120,000 MILES ON IT. MY CAR STARTED HAVING START- UP PROBLEMS. SOME DAYS I WOULD GO AND TRY TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START UP. THIS WENT ON OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. FINALLY I TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP TO HAVE CHECKED. RIGHT AWAY I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL PUMP WAS CHANGED. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE SHOP, I WENT TO THE MARKET AND WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE STORE, THE CAR WOULD NOT START UP. I CALLED THE SHOP BACK AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED RIGHT BACK TO THE SAME SHOP. THIS CAR EVENTUALLY ENDED UP AT THE SAME MECHANIC SHOP THREE TIMES, BEFORE I FINALLY DECIDED EITHER THE SHOP WAS NOT AWARE OF THE (RIGHT PROBLEM) AND CHANGED A FUEL PUMP THAT WAS NOT NECESSARY OR I NEEDED TO FIND A MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE MECHANIC SHOP. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO ANOTHER CERTIFIED SHOP, I WAS TOLD THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER I AM STILL STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT WILL NOT START UP EVERYDAY. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO READ THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE DROPPED IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE ANY REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

FUEL GAUGE QUITE WORKING. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED FOR THE FAILURE OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. AFTER ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE READING DID NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING ON THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THE ODOMETER FAILED. WHILE DRIVING 39 MPH THE MILEAGE INCREASED FROM 76,000 TO 107,700.

FAULTY GAS GAUGE ON MY GM CHEVROLET MALIBU. I RAN OUT OF GAS AND WAS STRANDED JUST AFTER THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WENT ON. I HAD NEVER RUN OUT OF GAS AND JUST PREVIOUSLY DURING MY DRIVE THE FUEL LEVEL READ BETWEEN 1/8 AND 1/4 FULL TANK. SO THE FUEL LEVEL READING INDICATED MORE FUEL AVAILABILITY THAN WAS ACTUALLY AVAILABLE IN THE TANK. I PROBABLY ONLY WENT 10 MILES AFTER THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WENT ON AND MY CAR HAS GOOD FUEL ECONOMY. I THINK THE READING WAS INACCURATE. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF RANDOM FUEL LEVEL READING WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND BELL GOING OFF, THEN LATER RETURNING TO ANOTHER, NOT LOW FUEL LEVEL, AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT GOING OFF AGAIN. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I FEEL LIKE I CANNOT TRUST THE GAUGE AND I RESET MY TRIP ODOMETER ON EVERY FILL-UP SO I CAN KEEP TRACK OF HOW MANY MILES I'VE DRIVEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU.
