PROBLEM WAS NOTICED THE MORING AFTER THE JIMMY WAS REFUELED. UPON INSPECTION THE REAR SEAM OF THE FUEL TANK WAS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF LEAKING FUEL ALL OVER MY GARAGE, CAUSING A STRONG GAS SMELL. THE CAUSE APPEARS TO BE THAT THE TWO METAL ( TANK AND FRAME) PARTS ARE TO CLOSE ALLOWING DIRT AND ROAD RESIDUE TO SET IN AN IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN AREA CAUSING RUST. WITH THE GAS DRIPPING THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZZARD WITH THE LICENSE PLATE WIREING RUNNING CLOSE TO THE GAS.
THIS COMBINATION HAS BEEN REPLACED 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS AT A RATE OF $1000 BY TWO REPAIR FACILITIES
AT 65,000 MILES THE HEATER CORE AND THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS THE SWITCH WHICH SIGNALS THE ABS SYSTEM WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN 2-WHEEL OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE CAN MALFUNCTION CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS WHILE IN THE TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MODE.

94V093000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission
May 16, 1994
SIGNIFICANT WEAR CAN DEVELOP ON THE LOW AND REVERSE CLUTCH PREVENTING THE PARK PAWL FROM ENGAGING. THIS CAN PREVENT A "NO PARK" CONDITION TO OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, CAUSING UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT OPERATOR ACTION. (THE "NO PARK" CONDITION WILL NOT OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS OFF.)
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: UNINTENTIONAL VEHICLE MOVEMENT COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR CONTAMINATION WHICH WILL INDICATE IF THE LOW OR REVERSE CLUTCH IS WORN. IF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SHOWS CONTAMINATION, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED.
