Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu

Vehicle is stalling out while driving, then when shuts off it will not start back up. Fuel pump was replaced, worked great for 1 whole day then did the same thing, left me stranded. Fuse box was then replaced. Ran great again until recently it stalled out in the middle of a very busy street causing me to almost be hit. Pins in the fuse box were replaced, but I'm still having issues, it seems to be related to the fusebox wiring itself, because I'm also having problems with things ran off of that fuse box! this getting ridiculous I've only had this car 4 months and it's been the worst car yet I've never had a vehicle leave me stranded. It needs to be recalled.

The vehicle have no check engine codes but won't start and cuts off I traffic and in highway. The fuse box in trunk gets got and the fuel pump relay gets hot. After the car stalls the only way to start is shake wiretap fuse box in trunk and tap on rear fuse box.

I purchased this car used and 2 weeks after I had to have it towed to a mechanic from work because it wouldn't start. Mechanic said it was fuel pump so he replaced it $685 and the tow was $125. Drove it home and the next day went out to start it before work and wouldn't start but had crank. Called mechanic he had it towed back to his shop, cleaned the fuse box in the trunk and said the brown wire was loose. Started up the next day but the following day it stalled on me while me and my son was on our way to get something to eat and I hit the box in the trunk and it started. I cannot believe this is not a recall yet from how many people have went through this electrical wiring issue. This was all on city streets. How many times am I going to have to beat on this box to get it started and how long will that last? this is ridiculous!.

The car seems to run fine once it starts. The problem is getting it to start. Sometimes the car starts without any problems and then sometimes it won't. It has left me stranded multiple times. We replaced the fuel pump, which seemed to fix the problem for a few days and then the same thing started to happen. We replaced a couple of fuses. Again this seemed to fix the problem for a few days and then the same thing started to happen. My husband and I noticed that there is some wiring that is always hot leading from the fuse box to the fuel pump. Basically we believe that Chevrolet used cheap crappy thin wiring. Because of this, the car won't start. We did some research online and it seems that everyone who owns a 2012 chevy Malibu has had a similar problem that has cost consumers hundreds of dollars. We have always owned a chevy and this is the first vehicle that we have ever had a problem with. We are seriously considering switching to Toyota or Nissan since Chevrolet has been receiving complaints and thus far has chosen not to do anything. Chevrolet manufactured the 2012 chevy Malibu and was aware of the issues surrounding the fuse box, fuel pump, and the wiring. One of these days, the car is going to catch fire because of the faulty system. It is extremely frustrating to see all of these chevy Malibu owners experiencing the same issue and Chevrolet does nothing. We never know if the car is going to start; it's literally a guessing game. Sometimes we tap the fuse box, sometimes we kick the side of the rear passenger door, and sometimes we have to sit and wait 15 minutes and then the car will start. Chevrolet needs to have a recall and fix the issues surrounding the 2012 chevy Malibu. Eventually the wiring is going to catch fire.

I have a 2012 chevy Malibu lt and at random times the car will shut down, while driving, while being stationary, and sometimes it don't even start when it's been off I took it to multiple mechanics and they couldn't detect any codes or seem to find the problem they changed the fuel pump, the fuel pump relay, the fuse, the ecm starter ignition coil, battery, alternator and the car still doesn't start randomly I have to turn the car to the on position then off more than 30 times and wait until I hear the fuel pump activate then I know it will start I have had the car cut off on me on the freeway, in the middle of malik a turn on busy streets I've been out at family events and when I tried to go home the car wouldn't start I need help.

Car would randomly not start up. Starter would engage with key turned, but engine would not fire off and run. No codes from diagnostics. Never heard fuel pump energize with problem present. Car would eventually successfully start. Bench tested fuel pump relay with no issues. Disassembled fuse box in trunk and found the brown wire connecting the fuel pump to its relay was significantly heat stressed. The black plastic wire harness that houses the brown fuel pump wire was also stressed and deformed, and was no longer retaining the crimped connector for the brown wire. I had to clean up the metal crimp connector and pinch down on the end so that it would "grab" the relay terminal once reassembled. Car has yet to repeat the starting problem a year later.

Got the car few months ago , car one day wouldn't start couldn't figure out finally figured it out, the fuse box in my truck I can hit it and then my car started just fine it happens alot to where I gotta hit the fuse box in my truck to get my car started thought it was the crank sensor but nope it has something to do with the fuse box in the truck & also heard it's the fuel pump relay.

My car dies when driving down the road. Electrical problem to the fuel pump.

Car would turn over but not crank. Go back a little later and it crank fine. After this happening several times had someone take a look at it and there was no codes and the car would crank fine so couldn't find the problem. Then when I was out somewhere it would crank and run sluggish and go dead and after a while it would crank and run. Got to researching it and people having same problem. Said that you could wiggle fuel pump relay and it would crank. Sure enough tried this and it worked. I'm pretty sure this is same problem. And also if you had been running the car and it wouldnt crank the fuel pump relay will be hot which suggest the wiring and or fuse box is problem. People talk about replacing fuel pump , fuse box , and cheap low gauge wiring from fuel pump to fuse box. Now I'm taking to mechanic to try to get this fixed before it catches fire and someone gets hurt . Try to get fixed and buy a Honda or anything except gm.

My chevy Malibu would turn over slightly, but then would die. This happened about 3-4 times and then I had the battery replaced; thinking it was that. The car continued to fail, so I had the fuel pump replaced after checking with a fuel gauge and there being no fuel pressure. The car ran about 3 times driving it for shorter and a bit longer distances, but then the car would not turn over at all. The starter would try, but there was no ignition of the car. At my local chevy dealer, don mccue, they diagnosed that the rear fuse box and a few terminals were burnt out. They replaced the rear fuse box and a few terminals, and the car now runs successfully.

My car would turn but not start so I changed the fuel pump. It was started for like 5 days then it started again would turn over but not start so we change the fuel box in the trunk. Worked for like a week and it started acting again. Took it to the Chevrolet dealership and the didn't find the problem. So we took it to a technician and they told us it was a wiring problem. Paid to get it fix but it still wasn't it. Still having the problem.

I've been dealing with my car cutting on and off. . . I change my fuel pump I change the sensors and I'm stilll having problems with my car cutting off when it wants or starting when it wants. I'm now about to change my fuse box in my trunk to see if that works. The only way the car will start is if I mess with the fuse box in the trunk. Also I'm having problems with my headlights. I changed them about 3 times already but they keep going out.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while driving at 75 mph, the vehicle loss motive power. All the light on the instrument panel came on. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosis the vehicle was a failed fuel pump. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact they never heard of this failure before. The failure mileage was 121,000. Hk.

Car will not start unless you mess with the fuse box in the trunk, anywhere the car shuts off, car shuts off while idling at a light or stop sign and you have to get out in traffic and mess with the fuse box and wires in the trunk till it starts, started off by repairing the fuel pump, then relays, then fuse box in the trunk, now I'm on the wiring. This problem has been ongoing for 6 months or more it's very pricey and continues to happen needs to be recalled too many people with the same issues.

Drove to work after work came got into car will not start so call the mechanic to come help me and he took it to shop and said something going on with the fuse box and fuel pump can't figure it out done this more than one time have to open trunk touched the fuel pump relay to get going . I haven't had the car but 2 years it needs to be recall on the problem. To many having this problem someone going to get hurt from this .

2012 Malibu intermittent no start . Hard crank but won't start. Problem started a month ago, randomly wouldn't start had it towed to mechanic but they couldn't duplicate problem. 2 days later same thing, had it towed again. Started next day for mechanic. After 3rd tow it wouldn't start and they replaced fuel pump. 4 days later no start again, had it towed but of course it started the 4 days mechanic had it. I picked it up and drove it all day. Tried to leave in the evening and no start. It's back at the mechanics, going to replace fuss box. Hopefully this works. It has never stalled while operating but it does lose power while driving and hesitates. Had the vehicle towed a total of 4 times and 1500$ later car still isn't fixed. Mechanic is having hard time pin pointing problem. I travel out of town on business frequently and can't depend on this vehicle. I've read multiple posts about same issue it seems chevy would try to resolve it.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the vehicle was not operable. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic were it was diagnosed that the wiring harness and fuel pump were defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the vehicle was still not operable. The vehicle was re-inspected by the independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuse box and relays were defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Gusweiler gm center (1132 state rte 41, washington court house, OH) where it was confirmed that the fuse box was faulty. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

Car randomly not starting had solenoids replaced and fuel pump. It started a few times then wouldn't start acts like it's going to but not getting enough fuel. Had diagnostic reading done when it was doing this the code reading was vehicle submersion. The mechanic asked if it had ever been flooded like in deep water. Never had been but that was the code reading. He redid diagnostics different codes then came up showing other crazy things. None of these were correct. Anyway long story short 3 different garages had no idea what to do. I traded the car for a new one but I believe this should be looked into because alot of people I've talked to with this year make and model car around the same mileage are having this problem my car had 73000 miles. Sometimes it's shutting down while driving. There is something faulty in the computer system that's not showing up until a few years after purchase. I have receipts of repairs and phone numbers to garages.

While transporting school aged passengers in my car during the heavy morning rush hour traffic, my car starting decelerating without any type of prior warning signs. No icon lights (I. E. Check engine, battery, etc. ) on the dashboard came on to indicate that there was some type of problem. This was scary. I managed to pull over. Once on the shoulder, my car stopped completely. It would not restart. We felt the violent vibrations as the oncoming cars sped past us on the interstate as we sat for ten minutes trying to restart my car. My car would try to start, but it was not getting the need fuel even though I had a full tank of gas. I tried pushing down on the gas petal to assist, but it did not work. Eventually, my car started and we made it to our destination. This was the first time that my car cut off on me while driving. I was able to drive it to a reparable licensed mechanic business, I was informed that my car was not throwing any codes. No repair work could be done. On another occasion, my car would not start. I driven it a few hours ago. It did the same thing. Again, no icons on the dashboard illuminated. After it started, I took it to a different mechanic shop. I had my fuel pump replaced. This was extremely costly. My car worked for about a week; however, the problem was not fixed. My car would not start even though I was giving it fuel. I had my car towed to the dealership. I was informed that there was a hole in the line leading to the fuel tank. The line was cut where the hole was located and replaced. My car worked for a week before the problem reoccurred. I had my car towed back to the dealership. I was told that the problems were the fuse block, the wire harness, and that a line had burned over the fuel pump or tank. Not only is this expensive, but fire and gas is scary. Hopefully, my car will be finally repaired.

Takata recall. While on the highway going 60 mph I lost all power to my vehicle almost causing a few accidents. I pulled the car over and had it towed to a shop. They had to push the car into the shop due to it not starting. After throughly looking and checking everything the dianosic test did not revel anything. The mechanic then banged on the rear fuse panel (trunk) the car then started. The panal is shuting my fuel pump off. The fuel pump has been tested the fuse relays have been tested. The problem is faulty fuse box and wires connected im assuming. After 2 weeks and 3 mechcanics my car is still not running.
