In a two week period, my 2001 chev. Malibu has left me stranded in the middle of nowhere with my two children. I had to have a wrecker pick it up both times, and both times i have had to rent a car. Both times i was told it is out of gas. It was showing having plenty of gas. The mechanic at the chevrolet dealership said this is the 15th one in two weeks time. He stated that it is the fuel sensor module.!!!!! *jb
