2010 Chevrolet Malibu Fuel system Problems

“While traveling at 60 MPH, lost power for a split second then regained. About 5 miles toward destination, at a traffic light I was attempting to make a right turn & when I accelerated, the car completely died with line of traffic behind me. Should this car have died in the midst of heavy rush hour traffic we could have caused a serious accident with a chain reaction of vehicles piling up behind me & possible injuries. . We were slowly creeping around the corner trying to catch a clear path to proceed when the car went dead. …”

“Gasoline leaks from top of gas tank. Excess flows down the side onto tank skid plate and exhaust pipes. Replaced the fuel pump immediately at $700 cost. The leak appeared to be coming from the fuel line coming directly out of the fuel pump. No gas odor has been detected since repair. I found out this to be a common issue for other Malibu owners. To me, having gasoline leaking onto exhaust pipes and it being a common occurrence should be addressed by NHTSA.”

“After parking my 2010 chevy Malibu, I can smell gasoline at the rear driver's side exterior (gas tank is on opposite side). This has been occurring for some time since I purchased the vehicle in march 2013. I don't know when I first smelled it. I also have had poor gas mileage since I purchased the vehicle. I finally mentioned it to someone and they told me to look up recall notices. There is no recall but I found many similar complaints from other chevy Malibu owners.”

“I have a 2010 and repeatedly have issues. It has been to the dealer as it completely lost power in rush hour. Car dash said service ABS, power, saver mode, traction control, service ESC and then died. I took to shop and they replaced the PCM is what they told me. Car has since had lose of power, sluggish, dies periodically, and now almost 3 years after thousand dollar repair not to mention the air bag light that is on that they are telling me will cost at least 1000 dollars as well to repair as my car is out of warranty and that it is a saftey concern. …”

“The first time my vehicle died while driving I was slowing down to turn right. The engine died and I turned off the vehicle, tried to restart and it would not stay started. I had it towed to the dealership and they could not duplicate the problem or get the car to give them codes so they had me pick it up. The 2nd time the car died on the freeway a week later. I was going 60mph trying to keep acceleration when it lost power. Thankfully I was near an exit and I was able to pull to the side of the exit. Again had it towed to the dealership. …”
