Problems with 2000 GMC Jimmy FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

Gmc jimmy 2000 fuel gauge not reading the correct amount of fuel . this is a ongoing problem. running out of gas is a big problem if you don't track mileage. very unsafe as one could be stranded . *tr

My 1998 envoy had thie same issue (which i bought new) as the used 2000 gmc diamond edition jimmy i bought to replace it after i was t-boned in aug 2009... fuel gauge is totally faulty and i have to reset the tripometer every time i fill up or will run out of gas due to false readings. as a single mommy with two kids i am scared of the idea of getting stuck on a dark highway headed in or out of town because of this. if the tripometer ever goes i will be at a loss. the key sticks in ignition and i have to turn the vehicle of and on sometimes 30 or 40 times while others only twice or so... with hundreds of complaints posted on the web... )and that is only at first glance) i have seen with these known issues i do not know what to do. *tr

I continue to have constant problems with my 2000 gmc jimmy. first thing that happened was the gas gauge just started messing up. giving false reading. i ran out of fuel two times because the gas gauge showed i had half of tank of gas and apparently it was empty. leaving me sitting on the side of the road way out in the country. the second time this happened it cost me my current job. my employer did not believe that my gas gage would give such false readings! *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 gmc jimmy. the contact stated that the spider port injector was leaking gasoline between the firewall and the engine. there was a recall for the previous year, make, and model vehicle, but not for the 2000 jimmy. the contact smelled gasoline in the vehicle and took it to a personal mechanic. the dealer stated that gasoline leakage was a common failure. the contact feels that this is very unsafe due to the fact that gasoline leaking on a hot engine may cause a fire. the failure was noticed while driving 25 mph. the current mileage was 115,000 and failure mileage was 93,000.

Tl* - the contact owns a 2000 gmc jimmy. the vehicle vibrated loudly when being started. the repair shop replaced the wheel cylinder for a third time. also, the fuel sensor needed to be replaced. the failure mileage was 78,000 and the current mileage was 87,000. *ak

Tl *the contact owns 2000 gmc jimmy. the stated that while driving, the vehicle suddenly shut off because no fuel was being pumped in. the vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer who stated that the fuel pump was defective. the contact stated that the failure occurred several times. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 80,000 and the current mileage was 138,000.

Faulty fuel pump system. *jb

2000 gmc jimmy has had 4 fuel pumps in last year and a half just stopping while driving in traffic and 2 transmissions same as fuel pumps stopping while in heavy traffic. wiring harness very brittle. *nm

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

Was driving down highway all of a sudden ran out of gas, car behind me almost hit me because i slowed all of a sudden, gas gauge showed i had half tank, gas gauge bounces back and forth, it was a bad fuel sensor, i feel it is a safety issue because consumer is not aware how much gas they have and could cause an accident if they run out all of sudden. *jb

I own a 2000 jimmy and have gone through 2 sets of upper and lower ball joints and at this time the left lower ball joints went again. what is the problem with the ball joints? this is costly to repair, as wel as dangerous, affecting the steering. i would like to know what improvments are being done to correct the problem, and if it is a common occurance among other gmc suv's. there should not be disposible parts put on the front end of any vehicle. *ak

The entire car is defective, though it does not state it is a lemon. i purchased it used. i have replaced many major parts that are not considered routine maintenance, such a driver's door hinges and bearings, hood release cable, steering arm (twice) hubs (twice) the wiring system is faulty. i have gone through 4 alternators in under 2 1/2 years. *jb

My vehicle ran fine, all of the sudden the fuel pump goes bad. *ak

I have a 2000 gmc jimmy with 49500 miles. my gas gauge started to malfunction, and was displaying inaccurate readings. i was quite concerned since this was a fuel related problem. it turns out an electrical component in the fuel sending unit gm part number 25314231 had failed. from what i was told by the gm dealer, this component is submerged in the gas tank of the vehicle. i am reporting this to you for investigation as a possible safety related issue. *nlm

2000 jimmy envoy is one big piece of junk!!!!!*ak
