Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of GMC Jimmy

The contact owns a 1999 GMC Jimmy. The contact stated that the fuel gauge failed to display the proper fuel level. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing and stated that the fuel gauge sending unit in the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

When under one quarter (1/4) of a tank of fuel the vehicle would stall while decelerating (read: hard braking, braking before a turn) without warning, disabling all powered controls including power steering and power braking. Issue would occasionally resolve itself and then come back at random intervals.

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!.

I bought new emergency brake has never held the car when adjusted o hold car, car would not move. Also I live on a hill, if I park facing down hill with a 1/4 of a tank of gas or less, car will not start until I fight it ( steering and brake with motor off) to cost to a flat spot to start.

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.
