Every time I start my car the fuel gauge reads full, then it drops and the gas light comes on along with the check engine light.The check engine light will stay on, but every so often it will go off and the fuel gauge will read at about 1/4 tank. Any suggestions???
Just replace my fuel pump /sending unit on my 06 Malibu, didn't matter if the pump was in or out of the tank, the gauge still reads wrong

The float is sticking in the fuel tank.Could be expensive if the float is part of the fuel pump.

Youre gauge is controlled by a plunger in the fuel tank which is attached to the sensor and the fuel gauge. it sounds like when the plunger goes down half way its either getting stuck down lower then it should. Needs replacing. Any mechanic can do this install for you.
SOURCE: gas gauge malfunction and engine light stays on
This is a common problem with Malibu's. It is due to cheap metal in the fuel gage that corrodes. Chevrolet knows about this but they refuse to issue a fix. The check engine light staying on and the faulty fuel gage are related. This is a defect and they need to recall this part! Raise hell with the dealership!
SOURCE: my 2008 chevy malibu fuel gauge dose not read only
this is caused by a defective gas gage sending unit, the sending unit is part of the fuel pump module inside the gas tank, the gas tank must be removed to replace the fuel pump module that also contains the sending unit.

Had the exact same issue with my 07 malibu...took it to a trusted mechanic and it ended up being a bad communication module...module was about 650 and the total was about 800...that resolved my issue.
