1 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 03/04/2019

There is a problem with the fuse box located in the trunk. My car has completely lost engine power while driving on multiple occasions. Fuel pump, alternator, and battery have needed replaced. There is a short in or near this rear fuse box. Fuel pump relay has been replaced, and connections greased. Temporarily fixed, then a few days later shuts off while running. From researching, this appears to be extremely common with this model across multiple years, with the wire leading to the fuel pump relay burning up and shorting. Clearly poor wiring. At least three times my car has completely shut down while in motion with no warning at all. Multiple crank/no start situations as well. My next option is to replace the entire fuse block, but that will not fix wiring design. Have been towed multiple times in a short period of time.

2 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2018

Transmission failure, car will turn off on interstate or highway without warning, car will shut down while driving , roll backwards, won't accelerate. Had to get towed 3 times! after new transmission , sensors and fuel pump injector , the car is still doing the same thing ! this is a safety hazard and a lack of responsibility for defected products and price gauging mechanics ! problem is still existing. I see this car is under many recalls and the transmission was built in korea!.

3 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/12/2017

Plastic fuel line from fuel pump on top of tank cracked leaking fuel all over top of fuel tank. I do not know when the crack first appeared, but the car was leaking gas in the driveway.

4 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 06/13/2017

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. Howard pontiac of amhurst, illinois was made aware of the failure and performed a fuel pump relay and seat belt recalls on the vehicle, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The NHTSA campaign numbers were unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

5 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2014

Fuel leak at fuel tank. Fuel pressure line at fuel pump module cracked and leaking fuel externally.

6 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2014

Gaseline leaks from top of gas tank. Excess flows down the side onto tank skid plate and exhaust pipes. Replaced the fuel pump immediately at $700 cost. The leak appeared to be coming from the fuel line coming directly out of the fuel pump. No gas odor has been detected since repair. I found out this to be a common issue for other Malibu owners. To me, having gasline leaking onto exhaust pipes and it being a common accurance should be addressed by NHTSA.

7 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2014

Vehicle lost throttle while driving on highway, had to pull over and restart engine. After an hour, exited highway to re-fuel. Engine died on the ramp without any warning on the highway, had to push it off the ramp and tow to the dealer for fuel pump.

8 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 04/14/2014

The first time I was stopped at a stop sign when my car shut off. It would not started. I had it towed to the dealer, they said it was the fuel pump which they replaced. I had the car 1 day when it did the same thing only this time it shut off while I was driving, luckily it was not on a busy highway. After having it towed to the dealer they told me there were no codes coming up and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. After about an hour I received a call that they needed to send my car back to gm because they found metal shavings in the engine.
