Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 1997 GMC Jimmy

We, as the purchasers, did not know that the part was defective until we went to put gas and were stranded with a dry tank and the fuel guage reading half full. The estimated cost for repair is $1,000. The defect was present at the moment we drove the vehicle off the dealership lot. I have since discovered many other complaints concerning this compenet and its tendancy to easily fail. I feel this is dangerous beacuse if I run out of gas, through no fault of my own, someone could hit my vehicle causing injury to both parties, one of which would be my two year old son. I have had this car for 5 days and it has not worked properly for all 5 days!.

My gas guage is not working. The mechanics at a local dealership informed me that the computer sensor is not working. My Jimmy only has less than 45,000 when this sensor was non-functional. The part runs around $500. 00 and to get it installed it was going to cost around $735. 00. This faulty sensor could cause me to have a major accident on a freeway because I never know how much gas is in my tank. I have a cousin that has the same problem with his GMC truck. I believe that GMC better look at this sensor in the gas tank and should take action to recall and correct vehicles that have this problem. Please report this to GMC and post to see if any other individuals nationwide are having the same problem. Thank you.
