Isuzu Rodeo Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Oct 24, 2001
Reported on Oct 24, 2001
| FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN GAS TANK FAILED EARLY IN AUTOMOBILE'S LIFE. GAS GAUGE USED TO READ INCORRECTLY, EVENTUALLY NOT REGISTERING ANY GASOLINE AT ALL (ALWAYS ON EMPTY). THIS HAS CAUSED AUTOMOBILE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, THOUGH THERE IS NO TRUE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE. THIS ISSUE DID NOT LEAD TO ANY INJURIES, THOUGH COULD IF THERE WAS A DRIVER WHO WAS UNAWARE OF THIS PROBLEM (IE, RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN UNPOPULATED AREA, ETC.). I AM AWARE OF A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED (ONLINE AND VIA PHONE) ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN ELEVATED TO RECALL STATUS AS OF YET. *NM | |
