2013 Chevrolet Malibu: wrong fuel gauge reading

Filed Apr 6, 2025 · Electrical, Lights · IN

My instrument cluster isn't working correctly. Some days I go out to start my car and the instrument cluster works. As I'm driving down the road my instrument cluster just stops working. My speedometer doesn't work, my rpms, the lights, temperature gauge and gas gauge just stops working. It's very scary and my transmission doesn't want to shift and my engine power is bogging down. This is really dangerous and I feel like my life is in danger. I pull off the road and shut my 2013 Chevy Malibu off and restart it and sometimes it comes back on and instrument cluster works but start driving and the instrument cluster stops working again. I have had my mechanic try to figure it out but so far I haven't been able to find out where the issue is so I haven't been able to fix it. My brakes have also been not engaging properly. I have had to replace my brakes 3 times so far after I got the brakes fixed for the 3rd time I haven't had very many problems. I also had to replace all my hubs as well as the brakes. Also something electrical isn't functioning correctly and when I shut my car off it makes a clicking noise right after I turn my car off. I'm a member of a Chevy Malibu group and there are thousands of people from all over the world with the same issues that I'm having with my vehicle. No warning lights have came on for any of the problems I'm having with my car. Please look into this and help me,us that are having these issues Thank you for your time. The next question of what date I can't really answer because it's been multiple dates. The question below about what mph I was going I can't answer because my mph wasn't working.

ALL ELECTRICAL INSIDE CAR GOES OUT OR ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL DASH GAUGES, SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, RADIO, HEAT/AC, TURN SIGNALS, ETC. CAR STILL RUNS BUT NOTHING ON INSIDE WORKS. I do not know if this control outage effects the ABS or Steering. It only last for a few seconds. It has happened several time will drive 50 to 70 MPH. I've let off the gas and try not to panic. Everything comes back on and I continue home. I'm scared to drive my car

The vehicle has major electrical issues from the day I bought it. Just last week I started the car it made a noise as I was driving I had no speedometer, no blinkers. No radio on gas gauge and no temp gauge. I have had this car stall in motion on a highway and no recall? It's basically a death 🪤

The entire instrument panel cluster would turn on/off on it's own at random. At first the issue seemed to happen the most when the environmental temperatures were lower. The entire instrument panel has now completely stopped working. None of the gauges or lights on the instrument panel work. Due to this issue, I am unable to know my speed, fuel level, mileage, temperature, battery, etc. This creates a hazard when driving.

While driving my vehicle all of the dashboard lights go off. Sometimes they flicker before going off but once this happens sometimes I lose power in the vehicle other times I just have to continue driving with no dashboard lights, this means I cant see how fast I am going, my gas gauge etc. This causes a big risk for me as I am driving down the highway. It doesnt matter the weather either, it could be raining, snowing or sunny and the dashboard still acts up. It also causes my battery to drain which is brand new, I also checked alternator and starter and both are perfect. Sometimes the dash is blank even right at the start up of my car, other times it goes out as I am driving, it also doesnt matter the speed.

When driving or parked the whole dash board will cut out completely resulting in loss of speedometer, gas gauge, temp gauge and tach. Sometimes it will come back on sometimes it does not for days, have to keep a speedometer app on my phone while driving now. Gm seems to be ignoring this issue as they do most electrical issues, I traded in a 2000 impala with electrical issues just to get another gm car with electrical issues at a higher price. I have called multiple dealerships and non of them seems to have an idea of what it could be which tells me gm is not even trying to find a root cause for the issue, they are more than willing to let me bring it in and have the whole system looked over at my cost though. Have been dealing with this for over a year now
