Isuzu Rodeo Fuel System, Other Storage Fuel Gauge System Safety Report | Apr 05, 2003
Reported on Apr 05, 2003
| THE CLASSIC FUEL SENDING UNIT PROBLEM THAT THOUSANDS OF RODEO OWNERS (MINE IS A 1999) ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. MY PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY AFTER I HAD THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AROUND 45,000 MILES. I WAS AT FIRST SUSPICOUS THAT THE DEALER BROKE IT DOING OTHER REPAIRS, BUT NOW I SEE THAT THE PROBLEM IS RAMPANT AND PROBABLY NOT RELATED. THE FUEL GUAGE IS USELESS. I KEEP TRACK USING THE ODOMETER BECAUSE REPAIR COST IS PROHIBITIVE, WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T FAIL AGAIN. THIS IS CLEARLY A QUALITY/ENGINEERING PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE THAT ISUZU SHOULD REMEDY. HOW CAN THEY RECALL 1998 AND 2000 AND SKIP 1999?*AK | |
