Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet malibu maxx. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer last year for three manufacturer recall repairs, which did not remedy the failure. Months after the vehicle was taken to the dealer, it would not shift gears properly and the vehicle shook and vibrated randomly without warning. The contact had to apply force to the brake pedal and, if it were released, the vehicle would randomly stall. The vehicle was to be taken back to the dealer for further inspection and diagnostic testing to determine the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000. Updated 1/19/16 ln

The fuel gauge is not functioning properly. When I fill the car up completely with gas, the dashboard indicator reads zero and I get a low-fuel warning message. When this problem started, after driving 15-20 minutes, the gauge would then read 'full' again, but the 'check engine' light would come on, and during this time the remote start function would not work. Now the car reads empty at all times, the engine light is on, and the remote start does not work. This LED me to run out of gas. I am worried about the car stalling while on the road, as I have read happening to other gm vehicle models, and I am worried about running out of gas again. Fuel system problems seem to be very common with gm vehicles, especially the malibu, and I would like to see the problem addressed.

Vehicle began stalling. Then, I noticed a strong smell of gasoline, and suddenly gas was pouring out near the muffler on the driver's side rear. Traced the leak once we got it home. The plastic line on the fuel pump had cracked. I lost over 1/8 of a tank after I parked it. I'm not sure exactly how much I lost while driving down the road. I am thankful that there were no sparks before I was able to safely park the car. I fear for the safety of my young children. I might not have been able to get them out of their car seats fast enough had I not immediately taken precaution.

I started the car and thought it had stalled because the power steering had failed. I restarted the car and found it was the power steering. The car sat for about 4 hours and when restarted the power steering had returned. While driving down the road it failed again and almost caused an accident. It has not been repaired yet.
