NHTSA Complaint #10254013 — 2000 GMC JIMMY

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.
