1997 Chevrolet Malibu Fuel system Problems

“Engine check light and the ABS light illuminated while driving. Vehicle been to a repair shop on 3 separate occasions, and the problem had not been resolved. Vehicle had its gas tank cap replaced, and the brake system was overhauled. But problem recurred.”

“Theft light keeps coming on, my car will stop when it happens. This has happened while driving. And will not start. I’ve had the recall fixed years ago that was said to be the reason. It didn’t fix the problem”

“I started to notice that over the last two months I've had to add coolant to the car I did'nt notice any leakage but I kept an eye out. When I went to change the oil the other day coolant leakage was evedent and was coming from the intake manifold, closer inspection revealed that the intake manifold bolts were loose, you could move them with your fingers. …”

“Car goes into lockdown frequently because of the theft alert system and you have to wait 10 minutes before the car will start. I believe this is a safety concern and potential hazard to anyone is operating this vehicle. I called dealership to discuss this problem and there reply is well the car is old and you need to see about purchasing another one . I got this reply in 2007. I have also researched it on the internet and found that this is a common problem in chevy Malibu's, which to me constitutes a manufacturing defect as well as a safety concern.”

“Cars add engine coolant light came on, no obvious leaks; taken to auto repair place and was informed that I had an intake leak; then informed by another repair shop there was water in my oil ; possibly because of a problem with gasket; basically same situation as odi-id758781.”
