2013-2015 Malibu 2.5L Fuel tank capacity?

My 2013 Malibu LS, shows 330km on a full tank. I also filled up 37.24L ($1.78 CAD) of fuel when the fuel bar was on 1. In total, there are 8 bars for full. Upon filling 37.24L, it showed a full tank (auto cut-off). I believe the 2013 Malibu LS 2.5L has 70L of fuel tank

(Dashboard image from internet but its the same)

Beeping sound 2013 Malibu LS - no dashboard warning (light)

So this just started happening yesterday: 10 minutes into my morning drive, I heard this beeping (4 times)—the sort of beep you get when the seat belt is not on—however, there are no warning lights on the dashboard, the seat belt is on, the door is closed, etc. I am clueless as to what this may be.

There was no passenger seat belt warning on the dashboard, but I had my backpack on the passenger seat for the past 3 days. Have removed my backpack from the passenger seat now and will test it for a few days.

Anyone experience this before? Thanks!

FYI - the captain's chair arm rest bracket on 2021+ full size SUVs are a separately serviceable bracket now, don't need to replace the whole seat frame like 2015-2020

Passenger occupancy sensor is bad. Can it be replaced or do I have to replace the whole seat ?

MPG for 2500 or 3500 Silverado (GAS engine)

I’m looking at a 2024 2500 or 3500 Silverado Crew Cab 4x4 8’ Box gasser. Using it for a slide truck camper (so payload matters, not hauling).

Anyone have a sense of MPG/fuel use on the gas engine?? New to trucks!

Dealership being confusing

Long story short I was sold a 2024 Silverado ltz but the check engine has been off and on with an “unknown issue” so I finally decided that I either wanted to lemon law or see if they would trade me for a different truck.

So I gave them a call and they said they would trade me my truck for a high country at probably after numbers and stuff an extra 7,000$.

So I checked their website and it showed this high country being there because it was just built. But when I called my salesperson he claimed they didn’t have it on the lot yet and he doesn’t see the keys.

They said they were going to put a hold on the truck for me but now the truck doesn’t even show up on their website anymore. And it’s been about 4 days or so since this truck has “been at the place” even though the dealer says it isn’t.

I’m wondering did they take it off the website because they know they’re gonna sell it to me? And i’m also confused as to why the website says it’s there even though it apparently isn’t there yet?

Anyone from GM have any clues about what any of this means for me?

09 Malibu possible oil/engine leak?

Bought an 09 Malibu for 4600 from a local used dealer, did a test drive and everything seemed great but did not get a pre purchase inspection ( I know I should have but just really wanted a car, I know not the smartest choice ) but the car was very clean, 106k miles, clean title! In my area finding this was a breath of fresh air ! This is also my first car !! :)

So I took it to get an inspection and oil change !!

Everything cleared except rear brake pads, tire rods and a filter, I replaced the filter myself and have a friend who will put in pads and tire rods can wait for now! hOWEVER they said there could be an engine/oil leak, they couldn't see where it was coming from and recommended a dye flush that will run me from 70-100$! I don't know what to do! Is this something that can wait? Should I get a second opinion?

More context : dealer did replace front bumper from an accident but said there was no damage to frame/engine! Mechanic shop only quoted me on the breaks,tire rods and filter and also recommend realignment after tire rods got done for a grand total of 1k, I don't know much about cars but I know pads aren't that dang expensive!! They actually never told me in person that there were any leaks, I asked if everything was okay bseides the stuff they quoted and they said yes!! I had to read the inspection report after I left to find out about the possible leak and then reach back out to get more info! Kind of annoying, kind of weird that nothing was mentioned about with the other issues, a possible leak seems more serious then break pads ! So I don't know if I can trust this place!

Please help, I need this baby to run smooth for a few years and I want to take the best care of it as I can but I DO NOT want to be taken for a ride with these mechanics :)

Any advice would help :)

08 Yukon knocking noise

I need some help. I’ve got an 08 Yukon with a 5.3 ls in it. And this car is a dream. But about 5 or 6 months ago I started it up and it had what sounded like rod knock or a loud ticking or clanking. Not sure where from but definitely in the engine area. I shut it off then started it back up, still knocked then revved the engine to 3 thousand rpm then it went away and haven’t had an issue until 4 or 5 days ago when I started it up and same story, I revved it to 3 thousand then it went away, then it came back 2 days ago. Each time it’s don’t this it’s been parked at a slight angle with oil full. Does anyone know about this

Lost my wheel key

I lost my wheel key for my Camaro lug nuts and my local dealer is no help. They say they don’t have a master key. I need to get my wheels off asap to swap my tires. Should I just call more dealers? The next closest is an hour away.

My Chevy app not sending verification code

Have tried signing out and back in, uninstalling and reinstalling, and even signing in from a different device but nothing has worked. Have already contacted onstar’s app support team but all they have done is escalate the case and still haven’t found a solution yet. Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution for it?

Is there a reason why Chevrolet isn't bringing the Chevrolet Montana to South Africa?

The country is in need of affordable small pickups like this. I'm tired of everyone just switching to SUV's because they think they have to. Chevrolet is basically dead in South Africa.

So...

I bought a used 2017 Equinox last year and bought an extended warranty from the (Non Chevy Dealership, bought it used from a Ford dealership) before the extended warranty expired I noticed some rattling noises and brought it in for service. They replaced the timing chain, radiator, gaskets and actuator. Well, now a couple months later that same sound is coming back and now at times when I idle the car will stutter and shake a little. Seeing as how the Extended warranty has expired, should I see if they have another warranty that covers the work they did? Do dealerships even have something like that? Anyone have any idea what may be the issue?

My Equinox won't recognize a different USB thumbdrive.

As the title says, my 2019 Chevy Equinox won't recognize a second thumb drive. Both thumb drives are formatted the same, same size, same company. One works flawlessly, the other, not matter what I do, will not be recognized.

Things I have done:

  • Reformatted the 2nd one
  • Completely powered off the console, unplugged one and then the other.
  • Changed methods of listening before swapping.
  • Turning off the car swapping, then turning on.

I cannot find any other advice on what to do. The reason is: kid friendly music vs my own music. Some of my friends do not like what I listen to normally, so I meet them in the middle with friendlier songs for them and any of my nephews/neice that I bring along.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Z71 Tahoe 2022-Dash Gauges Flickering/Glitching

My Z71 Tahoe form 2022 Dash started flickering and going crazy since yesterday (first issue encountered with it). All the gauges flicker, rpm, gas gauge, oil… and several alarms go off, such as the “Take Steering”. This is on and off.

Whenever the turning lights get turned on, there is no sound made by them.

The media screen has no issues, it seems to only be the dash.

*Car has 16k miles

Has anyone experienced this, if so what was the solution? Or any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks!

15’ Chevy Trax

Slow acceleration at times, and rough shifts. No pattern with the rough shifts, not specific gears. Sometimes super rough, sometimes just noticeable but not bad.

120,000km, is this an issue?

I’ve also had the car entirely turn off while driving, twice now, no power to any electronics or engine, and then display an error on the cluster for about 3-5 seconds ( unknown code ) and then restore all power. Battery was fine.
