Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Chevrolet Malibu

Fuel line is cracked and leaking, it is part of the fuel pump assembly. Their are recalls regaurding similar issues on various models the same year. This vehicle should be under recall as well. I am the tech working on this vehicle and this is the second one I have seen within a year. It leaks fuel from the top of the fuel tank down the back and on the exhaust pipe. Very dangerous safety situation. I will keep the old part just in case you would like it.

I was driving on freeway and my vehicle stalled and shut down. I had no acceleration from gas pedal, so I had to signal over to the right shoulder of road and coast to a complete stop. Tried starting the vehicle a few times, it would start but would not rev up, even when gas pedal was pressed. Utah road incident management helped by putting one gallon of gasoline in tank since the tank was close to empty, but still would not start. Also, tried using carborator spray to start the vehicle but, still did not work. Had to be towed to a service shop, where they performed tests to figure out what was wrong. After tests diagnosed that it was the fuel pump and filter. I looked up whether or not there was a recall on this model and year of vehicle. There was a recall for aftermarket fuel pumps, but I believe that recall has closed. I hope to have my vehicle fixed under the same recall.

I filled my tank up with gas and after driving a few feet the gauge went to empty. I pulled over and shut the car off and restarted it. The gauge went back up to full, but after driving less than a mile it went to empty again. I stopped the car after reaching my destination and let it sit for a few hours. I then rechecked that the gas cap was on tightly. It seemed fine and the gauge was remaining at full. After a couple of days of driving the gauge is still reading completely full and the option that tells me how many miles I have left remains at 295. At this point, I do not know how much gas is in the vehicle. I am forced to stop and fill the tank every few days so that I do not run out of gas.

When I filled up the tank, and would drive awhile,the fuel gauage would read low fuel. I was told it was the gas cap. However, I replaced that and it still happened. How it is to the point, where the fuel gauage either reads full or stays at low fuel. This also causes the engine light to stay on. My service tech has advised me that this is a ongoing problem with the model.
