MY ENGINE BLEW. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH IN THE PASSING LANE MY 2007 MALIBU SHUT ITSELF OFF. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO COAST ACROSS THE LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. I CALLED 1-800-CHEVUSA AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE MY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY IS UP THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. AFTER SPEAKING TO A SUPERVISOR MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS STILL SITTING NOW. MY HUSBAND ALSO SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT CHEVY WHO TOLD HIM THAT SINCE THE WARRANTY IS UP AND THERE IS NO RECALLS WE WERE BASICALLY OUT OF LUCK. MY HUSBAND NICELY EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AT FIRST ON THE COBALT'S EITHER BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT TOOK SOMEONE BEING KILLED FOR THEM TO TAKE THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY. THEY STATE THAT THEY WILL SEND PAPERWORK TO HAVE MY CAR LOOKED AT BY THE CHEVY DEALER BUT WE ARE STILL WAITING. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED FROM THIS AND I HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE GETS RESOLVED AND IF IT IS A RECALL ISSUE THEY DO IT FAST BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

FUELED UP AND THE GAS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GAS GAUGE WENT UP AND DOWN AND NOW STAYS ON. DOES NOT RECOGNIZE FUEL IS IN THE CAR AND ALWAYS SAYS LOW FUEL EVEN AFTER FUELING UP. BOTH CHECK ENGINE AND GAS LIGHT ARE STEADY ON. *TR

MY 2.2 LITER 4 CYLINDER CHEVY ENGINE IN MY 2007 CHEVY MALIBU STARTED TO MISFIRE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY CAR IN THE MORNING. I BROUGHT IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER IN LODI CALIFORNIA AND AFTER TESTING IT THEY SAID IT HAD A BURNT VALVE IN THE #3 CYLINDER. I BROUGHT IT TO TWO OTHER INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY BOTH SAID THAT THERE IS A FACTORY FLAW IN THE CYLINDER HEADS THAT CAUSE THE VALVE SEATS TO FAIL UNDER NORMAL USE AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY 2007 CHEVY MALIBU THE GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6-7 TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. TYPICALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON BUT NOT ALWAYS. *TT

HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SENSOR, THOUGHT IT WAS FUEL LEVEL SENSOR BUT APPARENTLY FROM ALL OTHERS REPORTS THESE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE REMOTE START TO WORK. ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT. JUST WORKS RANDOMLY. VERY CONCERNED THIS WILL INTERFERE WITH AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE FIXED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN AFTER IT EXPIRED AND TOO COSTLY TO FIX ON MY OWN. *TT
