Fuel leaks/ignition fire; took vehicle to Chevy dealer to have recall items fixed and inform them the fuel leak problem with regards to NHTSA campaign #13E-043 and the article of 10/01/12 siting that GM was recalling 41,000 cars sold in warm weather states including ca, because of defective plastic part might cause "fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire." GM told NHTSA that it began investigating the problem in 2011 after a dealer reported fuel leaking and that it would notify owners and replace the fuel module free of charge including those who live outside the states affected by the recall. The offer is valid for 10yrs or 120,000 milesfrom the date the vehicle was sold, GM spokesman alan adler told the associated press.

Takata recall, my 08 Malibu will not start after driving no matter how long. I've been stranded multiple times. I bought a new starter, relay switch, ignition, switch, and paid for multiple diagnostic tests. Every mechanic sends me to the dealer ship and says they can't find the problem but believe it's the ECM. I'm taking it to the dealer today and praying this doesn't cost me another car!

We have had two issues. First broken fuel pump spilling gas on top of the fuel tank this has been an issue with this type of vehicle but not this specific vehicle. Cost to repair 400 dollars. Issue two. Bad torque sensor on electric power steering column. Causing power steering failure at will. Major safety issue as well. Chevy told me this specific part was not part of an earlier recall. Cost to fix 622 dollars at Chevy dealer. Power steering failure happened while driving on city streets in madison sd. Gas leaking issue was noticed by a strong smell of gasoline. We stopped driving until repair could be made. They are both recalll issues on the 08 Malibu. Talked to Chevy. With no offer to cover repairs being made.

Gas leaking, module fuel pump & sender assembly had to be replaced, article in times paper said it was recalled because of this problem in 2012, I never received a recall notice. This could have been a very dangerous problem as the gas odor was very strong and I kept having to fill my car up with gas. Did not take it to the dealership because I did not receive a notice and wanted it fixed before someone got hurt or killed so I took it to my mechanic. It was leaking gas when it was stationary, in motion but I smelled it the most when it was in the garage locked up.
