When I put gas in my gmc envoy it will go up to the full mark and then just drop down past empty and then after awhile start registering right..my gas light comes on way before I am empty,been having this problem since I bought the truck back in june of 2011..I have noticed that many are having the same problem as I am...hope gmc does something about it!!!
I am the original owner of a 2000 gmc jimmy envoy. I smelled burning plastic as I was driving and was told by another motorist that I had no brake lights. The lights came on and stayed on and then they would not work. I took the vehicle to a local repair shop to replace the turn signal & hazard warning switch. This corrected the brake light problem. After reading about the reason for the recall of these switches, I disassembled the old switch only to find that it also had brass contacts for the hazard warning lamps. This was supposedly replaced in 2003 by a dealer. Replacing it with the same part that was recalled!
