My 2007 chevy malibu fuel gauge goes to empty after a fill up and then it will go to full and then back down to out of fuel causing the engine check lite to come on - at first the lite would go out when i had less then a 1/4 of a tank of fuel - now it stays on all the time. I have been reading that this is a problem with the 2007 malibu. The repair for this is 600-800 dollars! I have owned at least 20 cars in my…

My 2007 malibu lt began having difficulties intermittently with the gas gauge dropping to empty after filling it up. This caused the check engine light to also come on. Initially this would clear up after about 100 miles, then it took a quarter tank, then half a tank and now requires the gas to be slightly below a quarter of a tank of gas (having used three quarters) before the check engine light goes out. My remote…

My car for the last year or so has said that my fuel tank is empty, even right after i fill it up. I've been told by auto zone that it's my fuel sensor in the fuel tank that is broken, that's why my check engine light is on and my gauge is always on empty. They told me that there is no recall for my car and that it would be at least 400 to fix not including labor. I've looked at all the complaints and the majority…

Fuel system failure - gas hand downs and low fuel light comes on and eventually the check engine light comes on. This was repaired in 01/2010. As of july 2014 this issue has reoccurred. This is a issue which i feel there should be a recall based on the number of complaints filed.

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…
