Isuzu Rodeo Fuel System, Other Storage Fuel Gauge System Safety Report | Mar 21, 2004
Reported on Mar 21, 2004
| I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A 1999 ISUZU RODEO FOR MY COLLEGE AGED DAUGHTER. WHILE DRIVING BACK TO SCHOOL YESTERDAY (290 MILE DRIVE), SHE DISCOVERED THAT THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS A FUEL GAUGE THAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHILE THIS IS NOT AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUE, THE THOUGHT THAT MY DUAGHTER MAY BECOME STRANDED (BY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL) IN A REMOTE AREA, IS A VERY REAL SAFETY CONCERN AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS MORNING, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH ISUZU RODEO'S THAT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 1998 TO 2000 YEAR VEHICLES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A CLASSIC CASE FOR A RECALL BY THE NTSB. WITHOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT, I AM SURE THAT ISUZU WILL NOT RESPOND. YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS!*AK | |
