my car has stalled multiple times while in use, on the highway. VERY SCARRY!
I can hear the U joint clicking like it wants to fail and suddenly randomly there is a loss of powersteering. This issue caused my father who is on oxygen to go to the hospital.
While driving along the highway the steering wheel began to turn slightly by itself and powering steering displayed on dash and wheel was hard to steer. Fuel pump floater goes out
The fuel gauge is not working properly. Ok in filled the tank up today and put in a locus fuel cleaner (01/22/2021) only because it was like my car was gasping for gas. My fuel gauge keeps moving up in down. Even though I had just filled the tank up it would chime drop to empty acculerate like it was having a hard time breathing spike back up to the fuel level start driving fine then all of a sudden drop down to e. Now the car is having a hard time start lik it is not getting any gas at all. I have read severl complaints about this issuse

My 2007 chevy malibu is having problems with the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge shows empty when I have a full tank of gas then it goes up to full. When I drive for a while the gauge goes down to empty. Also the engine check light stays on. Sometimes it goes out but comes back on. The fuels gauge is erratic do not know how much fuel is in tha tank at any given time. Mechanic said is very expensive to fix.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet malibu. After filling the vehicle with fuel, the fuel gauge reflected full and then dropped to empty. The contact stated that the failure occurred for approximately one year. The vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic in july of 2013 for the same failure. The vehicle was not repaired this time. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000.
While driving you can feel steering tightening up and a slight hum especially making left and right turns, gas gauge goes up and down from full to empty constantly, engine light stays on because of gas cap replaced 4 times works for awhile longest was about a month, also stays on because of duel gauge fluctuating constantly.
My gas gauge always reads empty even after I fill up the tank. So now my check engine light is always on becuase it believes my gas low. This happens in motion, stationary on the street and on the highway.
