Tank Mounting Problems of Chevrolet Malibu

I have several complaints about this car that I believe to be manufacturer defects. The most serious issue I found today (4/19/2014) when I smelled gas outside of my car. Upon looking underneath my car I found my gas tank leaking onto my exhaust pipe. I consider this to be a recall issue because there is absolutely no damage to the undercarriage of my car. One of the other serious issues I have found with my car include a brake light issue. My car was occasionally showing a "service traction/ esc" error code, which could not be explained by any mechanic or even a chevy dealership themselves. It wasn't until a friend following me pointed out that my brake lights didn't seem to be working right, did I realize I was having an issue. The brake lights do the exact opposite of what they should, but only on the occasions said error code is showing. I looked into the issue online and found this to be a common problem. Chevy has not been able to give me a solution to this problem. The third major safety issue I'd like to point out, I know from experience is not exclusive to my car. When I sit in the passenger seat of my Malibu, among every Malibu I have ever been, the passenger side airbag does not turn on. I am 26 and weigh 94lbs, so I don't know if my size is the reason I do not engage the airbag!? the final defect I had to deal with involved my driver side rim. I had a tiny little hair line crack on the inside of my rim, causing me to loose a lot of air in my tire. I consider this a manufacturer defect because my rim was not damaged in any other way shape or form. I had a hard time obtaining a new rim, because (according to everyone I called) the rim was in high demand. Please look into these issues and consider adding them to gm's current recall list. Thank you for reviewing my concerns. . . Updated 04-23-14.

Gm is recalling 40000 cars for a fuel leak from the fuel pump module on the top of the tank. I originally heard that this was for cars in the southwest region of the country. My daughter lives in phoenix, drives a 2005 pontiac g6, and had a fuel leak coming from a plastic fitting attached to the fuel pressure return line. The fuel was running across the top of the tank across the protective shield and onto the muffler in small amounts. Fortunately we replaced the pump/indicator sending unit before a fire took place. I live in tucson and drive a 2008 chevy Malibu lt. A few weeks ago I noticed the smell of gas at the rear of the car after it was parked. No evidence of a leak like my daughter"s car, but a strong smell. I jacked the car and looked underneath for a leak, but found none. The smell of fuel was stronger in the area of the wiring harness and fuel lines going to the top of the tank. Do you know of a recall for my model of car? it seems like a trend with this particular design of fuel system.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle he smelled a strong fuel odor. The vehicle was taken to a gasoline station to be refueled, but the fuel tank would only accept a small amount of fuel. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the fuel tank was leaking. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 98,291.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu. The fuel gauge malfunctioned and the contact was unable to read the amount of fuel in the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic and the mechanic advised that the fuel tank needed to be dropped in order to diagnose the problem. The contact did not have any repairs performed on the vehicle. The failure mileage was 85,000.

My 2007 chevy Malibu's gas gauge dropped from full to e after filling up and the check engine light came on I took the car to the dealership spent $530 for them to fix the fuel level sensor / sending unit which requried the whole fuel tank to be replaced in may of 2010 now a year and half later I am having the same issue and the dealership advised it was only warrantied for 12 months! this is a huge cost to have the same issue again and it also becomes a safety issue when traveling with my kids because the car is not reading an accurate amount of gas.

Tank fuel level gauge does not show accurate amount of fuel in tank.

Fuel gauge periodically doesn't register the proper amount of gasoline in the tank. Have not checked it out with a service tech as yet.

When the vehicle was started the gas gauge registered full. While driving the gas gauge changed to different amounts (1/4, 1/2, 3/4) of gas. The vehicle shut down from having no gas in the tank but the gauge read full.
