Consumer Description

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. *TR
