I HAVE A 1996 CHEVY BLAZER AND THE GAS HAND FLOATS. IT DOES NOT GIVE AN ACCURATE READING ON THE GAS GAUGE. I CAN DRIVE AND IT WILL FLOAT FROM 1/2 TANK TO 1/4 TANK WHILE DRIVING. IT FLOATS NO MATTER HOW FULL OR EMPTY THE TANK IS. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS DUE TO THE INACCURACIES. I HAVE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE--1993 SUBURBAN THAT HAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE FREEWAY ON THE WAY TO THE AIRPORT--ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME AND MY CHILDREN AT 2:00 AM IN THE MORNING WAS THAT I HAVE ROADSIDE. *TR

ON MY 1996 CHEVY BLAZER IT WAS RECENTLY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT I HAD NO REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE, AS I HAD NO REAR HAZARDS EITHER. THE ONLY OPERATIONAL BRAKE LIGHT WAS THE OVERHEAD CENTER LIGHT. I HAD THE ITEM REPLACED AND RECEIVED THE CAR BACK YESTERDAY, BUT DECIDED TO GOOGLE THE ITEM AND CAME UP WITH THE RECALL #01V364000. THIS RECALL ONLY COVERS GMC RELATED VEHICLES DURING CALENDAR YEARS 2000-2002. I HAVE THE RECEIPT FOR WORK AND HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PART IN MY POSSESSION. *TR
