I drive a 2007 malibu and the check engine light keeps coming on and the fuel gauge will drop to empty even though i know gas is in the car. Then it will slowly climb back up and then drop again. *tr

On sept. 29, 2010, i bought a 2000 chevy malibu in ny from a nj dealer, the next day i noticed the check engine light on, so i took the car to a mechanic who told me that there was an issue with the gas emissions.

2003 chevy malibu passlock passive security system failure. The passlock system engages on my car frequently. It costs over $245 to reset and $800 to fix. I did an internet search and thousands of other gm car owners with passlock systems are having the problem. My car will suddenly stop while driving and i've narrowly avoided serious accidents because of it. Other times it will simply not start. *tr

The fuel gauge erratically jumps from full to empty and back to full. It does not properly display the fuel level. It is also causing an issue with emissions and the engine light. This has continued for over a year. *tr

So this time i take to mechanic. He said that…
