EVER SINCE I OWN THIS VEHICLE, THE IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT LOCK. THEREFORE IT IS POSSIBLE TO LEAVE THE TRUCK AND NOT KNOW THE IGNITION SWITCH IS STILL IN THE ON POSITION. ALSO, THE GAS GAUGE BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE AND I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP TO KNOW WHEN I NEED GAS. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I OWN THE TRUCK. OCCASIONALLY, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON (I KNOW I HAVE FUEL) AND THE TRUCK STARTS ACTING LIKE IT'S LOW ON GAS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES WILDLY BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY WHEN TANK IS LESS THAN HALF FULL. IF YOU LOOK IT UP THE GMC JIMMY WHICH USES THE SAME FUEL SYSTEM HAS THE SAME CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE IN THE TANK. THIS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON A INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR AND I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO ONE RAN INTO ME, BUT IT DID CREATE A BAD TRAFFIC PROBLEM. GM REFUSES TO ADMIT THIS A PROBLEM BUT THE MECHANICS I'VE TALKED TO SAY THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY HAVE TO REPAIR ALL THE TIME. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR
