Fuel gauge no longer functioning. After refueling, the fuel gauge began acting sporadic, at times it would indicate that fuel tank was empty even after refueling. Condition continued to get worse and presently fuel gauge just reads empty. Also the check engine indicator light came on and engine code p0463 is active.

4 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

My gas gauge always reads empty even after I fill up the tank. So now my check engine light is always on becuase it believes my gas low. This happens in motion, stationary on the street and on the highway.

5 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2014

Whenever I fill up my gas tank the gas gauge will register it as full when I start it up. But after going 10 feet the car will chime and the fuel gauge will go from full to empty and the light will illuminate and I will get a message that says low fuel. When I turn my car on the next time the check engine light will illuminate after driving 30 miles or so the fuel gauge will go from empty to full a few times and then it will read correctly but the engine light will stay on for a few more engine on and off cycles and then turn off. When it gets to about 1/4 tank it will start acting up again and the check engine light will come back on. The cruise control is fairly aggressive when it is going back to the speed it is set at and the car jerks when I reactivate it. I called the chevy dealership to order the parts for the recall brake lights may or may not illuminate the person told me that she couldn't see anything about the recall and gave me the excuse that it was fairly new and I might not be in the system yet but I was sitting in front of my computer looking at it with my own eyes. Will call ASAP and ask about it again,.

6 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 11/04/2013

At first, when my gas gauge would be down to about half a tank, the gauge would go to empty and check low fuel light and check engine light would come on. We did take it to gm dealer and it tested as diagnostic code p0463 fuel tank level sending unit . As time has gone on, when the gauge gets down to three fourths full, the gauge will go to empty and check engine light and low fuel light will come on.

7 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 10/17/2013

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the fuel gauge was defective and would show that the fuel tank was empty when it was full. Also, the contact mentioned that the power steering would fail and would cause it to become very difficult to maneuver the steering wheel. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 105,000 and the current mileage was 120,000.

8 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2013

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu. After the contact filled up the fuel tank, the fuel gauge operated normally until 3/4 of fuel was left in the tank. Once the fuel was at 3/4, the fuel gauge would display as empty. As a result, the driver was unable to determine how much fuel was in the fuel tank. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,000.

9 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2012

My fuel gauge will jump from empty to whatever level of fuel is in the tank without cause. It has made my "check engine" light go on. On occasion the light will go out but then it will reappear. I have changed fuel caps to see if that would help. I finally had the engine diagnosed and had trouble code p0463 come up which indicates a fuel level sensor circuit high voltage. I have investigated the problem online and see that this is a very common in the 2007 Malibu and begins to appear when the vehicle is @ 4 - 5 years of age. I guess I would like to know what Chevrolet is going to about the issue since it seems so common, it seems to be because of a faulty or cheap part, and the repair is rather expensive.

10 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2012

I purchased my car from a used car lot on July of 2011. As of February of 2012 the fuel gauge stopped working (always says gas tank is on empty). When I fill up my tank it will read 'full' for a few hours, then it will eventually drop all the way to 'empty' again. I took it to my mechanic and he suggested that I replace the fuel tank. Please let me know if my problem is related to the recall dated February 28, 2011.

11 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2010

I purchased a used 2007 cheverlot Malibu in 11/2009. A few months of me owning it, the fuel guage started acting up. It would register that there was fuel in the tank and then it would state I was on empty even though I know I had fuel in it. It has now stopped working all together. I took it to a mechanic and was told that is a dealer item to replace it and the cost would be rather expensive. I am a single father raising a 2 year old child and I can not afford the hundreds of dollars it would take to replace this dealer item. I am relying on mileage to determine when to refuel at this point in time. I do not believe this is the best method however I am doing the best that I can.
