Takata recall airbag senso always on; auto driver side window, sideview mirrors; seatbelt sensor & sound alerts when shouldn't; ac cooling system doesn't get cool; fuel gauge doesn't work & always on low-fuel indicator even when we've filled up; dome light dim; power locks don't work properly - only driver side works sometimes.
My fuel gauge goes up and down at random times. The gauge goes down when idling or at a stop. This in turn causes my check engine light to turn on. While the gas gauge will go back to its normal position after a little bit of driving. The check engine light remains on. There are no issues with the gas cap, but after a little research I have found it to be a faulty level sensor. As it's a reoccurring problem with many chevy Malibu's, I don't know how there hasn't been a recall yet. Good thing I don't have to get my car tested until 2017 or I would not pass emissions due to the check engine light being on.
My fuel gauge shows low fuel most of the time . My lights on the dash change check engine light comes on sometimes then gas gauge works. Then it goes off and things change air bag warning comes on. Things just jump around never the same mix of things .
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated the fuel gauge failed to operate and would always indicate that the fuel was low. The dealer repaired the float sensor but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the float sensor needed to be replaced again. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.
The fuel level warning light came on. Then the fuel gauge started going from full to empty and then back to the actual level. Once it started happening it increased in frequency and no real pattern. After 3 or 4 occurrences the check engine light came on & stays on until I get close to empty again. Sometimes it registers but only for few seconds before you run out of gas on dark highway in the middle no where land. Cost of repairs estimates is $600-800 and should be on recall as clearly its a manufacturing problem after reading all the blogs online of other Malibu owners having the same issue.
2007 Chevrolet Malibu. Consumer states problems with gas gauge the consumer stated when she re-fueled the vehicle, and the gas gauge reached approximately 3/4 full, the fuel gauge needle dropped to empty and the check engine light illuminated. The gas gauge continued to read empty and the engine light stayed on until three to four gallons of gas was used. The gauge would then begin to read the correct amount of gas in the tank and would continue to do so until the tank was filled again. The check engine light would remain on for several days until gas was put in the tank above 3/4 full. The consumer believed the fuel gauge lever sensor was poor designed.
