Fuel Injector problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Malibu

The owns a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that when the vehicle was filled with gasoline, the fuel gauge would read empty. The contact tried using fuel injector cleaner, but it did not remedy the issue. The vehicle had not been inspected by the dealer or a mechanic. The failure mileage was 61,000 and the current mileage was 62,000. Updated 03/23/12 updated 03/30/12.

Factory fuel level gauge intermittently drops to empty during operation affecting audio warning, multiple dash panel indication & warnings, and obc statistics & display. Dash -check engine (always on) & low fuel warning light (whenever gauge drops to empty only), empty or erroneously low gauge indication (mostly when rising from empty) obc -low fuel warning in display mode, fuel range mode can display either low fuel or erroneously low indications of range. Occurrence frequency increases as temperature decreases, gauge indication deviation increases as temperature decreases. I understand that the fuel level information is also used for misfire and evaporative emission (evap) diagnostics as well as other functions. Local dealer has reset the fault code twice. With check engine light constantly lit the operator will not know there is the need for service or inspection. During inclement weather, erroneous indication and, or constant low fuel warning could cause running out of fuel and being stranded in perilous conditions. I have owned 20+ older vehicles in my 36 years of automobile ownership and this is the first I have ever seen this. This vehicle, the youngest I have ever purchased was only 5 years old when it started this issue. I have used fuel system cleaner, gas dry, fuel system injector cleaner with no change. I believe this is a design flaw and since there has been no recall indicates that the risk severity and occurence frequency has not been properly analyzed.
