The fuel sensor on our 2007 Chevy Malibu only works occasionally. It will typically read empty regardless of the fuel level and the check engine light comes on. Obviously a major problem with this car as many owners are seeing the same problem. The sensor is inside the gas tank so this issue cannot be due to excessive wear and tear, it is simply a bad design or a bad part. Either way GM needs to accept responsibility for the mistake and fix their mistake. With cold winter driving an inaccurate fuel sensor is a hazard. The trip meter can give a rough estimate, but as mpg changes considerably between highway and city driving as well as winter vs. Summer this is not a very safe solution.

I know that this safety issue doesn't rank up there with sticking gas pedals, etc., but I feel it is important enough that someone should look into it. Actually, there are two interrelated design flaws with the 'driver information center' on the 2007 Chevy Malibu ls I bought last year. The driver information center ('dic') is the green led display in the radio that normally displays such info as time and temperature, etc., but it is also used by Chevy to display warning messages. The two problems are: A). critical warnings ' in my case a warning message to 'service airbag' popped up one evening on the dic ' but it was only displayed once (it did not appear again the next morning or thereafter). Since Chevy considered this issue important enough to suggest that I not continue to drive the vehicle until the problem was fixed, I think that they should have programmed this warning (or any safety related warning) to stay on until the problem is fixed. B). the dic is far too dim to see clearly during most daylight hours (even on many cloudy days) and is for all intents and purposes totally invisible if the driver is wearing sunglasses. Just a quick search on the internet will show that this is not a recent or isolated complaint'.I see complaints about the dic being too dim going back to at least 2004! when I complained to Chevy about the dimness issue they told me this was 'normal' (I in turn told them that it may be 'normal' but it certainly is unacceptable ' especially given that had the critical safety warning come on during daylight hours I probably would never have even seen it and would still be driving around with an unresolved safety issue).
