For the past two years my 2000 GMC Jimmy has had continuous malfunctioning fuel gauge which is not reliable. The fuel quantity needle fluctuates and is un reliable. The dealer says the repair is expensive and is not covered, due to the vehicle being out of warranty period. The vehicle mileage is tracked to determine approx fuel quantity. I am submitting this report to urge the ODI to effect a vehicle recall to fix this wide spread problem with the 2000 my GMC Jimmy vehicle.

Gas gauge does not work. States full when vehicle is empty and then drops to empty after you run out of gas. I have to use my odometer to track how many miles I have driven to know when to fill tank again.

Fuel gauge has not worked for the last year. It goes from full to 3/4 of a tank and stays there. Sometimes it will go all the way to "E" then bounce around. Have been counting miles between fill ups to avoid running out of gas.

Fuel guage does not work. Must watch odometer to guess when gas needed. ABS engages at slow speeds. Replaced once already. Doors must be slammed violently to close doors.

The gas gauge does not work once the amount of gas is below half a tank, this occurs in many other GMC Jimmys in the 2000 model year, I have researched this online and found many complaints about this, yet no recall. The gas needle either sticks, bounces around or shows a full tank when empty, this makes it very difficult to determine if there is enough gas to get to where you need to go and causes people to run out of gas while on the road.

2000 GMC Jimmy experiencing problem with start up as well as with the gas gauge on the dashboard. The incident occurred on an extremely cold morning in which the vehicle would not start. The following day the vehicle started, but the consumer noticed that the gas gauge started going from empty to full. The consumer was instructed by the manufacturer to take the vehicle to the dealer and have them replace the PCM module (powertrain control module) free of charge. The engineer suggested that this problem would occur if the weather is very cold. The passenger side weather strip failed.

My fuel gauge is malfunctioning. It floats back and fourth from full to empty. How safe can this be? also I have had problems with windows not rolling up and down and my back glass will not open from the rear outside button.
