THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ONCE THE AMOUNT OF GAS IS BELOW HALF A TANK. I HAVE A GMC 2000 MODEL. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET, YET NO RECALL. THE GAS NEEDLE EITHER STICKS, BOUNCES AROUND OR SHOWS A FULL TANK WHEN EMPTY. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE OR IF I WILL END UP STRANDED ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT. I GUESS IF SOMEONE HAS A DEADLY ACCIDENT DUE TO THEIR VEHICLE CUTTING OFF DUE TO AN EMPTY FUEL TANK WITH A GAUGE READING FULL IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, SOMEONE WILL LOOK AT THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THEN. I HOPE THAT I AM NOT THAT PERSON. *NM
