| The gas gauge does not read the correct amount of fuel in the gas tank. i fill up and the gas light will come on after a few miles and will stay on or will start flashing. this is a problem that can be vary hazardous especially for a woman on the road thinking that she has a full tank of gas and the gas gauge is going insane. something needs to be done about this problem. it seems as if there are several and mean several others with the same problem. a recall should be sent out!!!! *nm | |||

| On 2-2-05 i was invloved in a crash that was caused by a malfunction within a vehicle that i was driving. it was a 1999 isuzu rodeo. i had come to a stop, pulling into a parking space between two vehicles at a walgreens store in enid, oklahoma when suddenly the engine surged, the whole time i was fighting the acceleration with the brakes but they just made a noise similar to when you lock abs breaks on ice. the vehicle struck a brick pillar that collapsed on top on the vehicle almost killing me and injuring my lower/middle back in the process.the tires continued to spin even after i exited the vehicle, i have photos for proof. i am filing a lawsuit against isuzu motors of america for faulty products that resulted in the crash that almost took my life and injured my back. if you have any information please let me know. i'm twenty three years old and was not physically impaired at the time the wreck occured. this problem should be looked at and corrected before this happens to someone else.i have witnesses that can attest to what happened. thank you for your time. *ak | |||

| Defective fuel sending unit on a 1999 isuzu rodeo. happened just after warranty expired at 60,000 mile. the suv has 80,000 mile and continuing to have the same problem. this is a very common problem and isuzu will not fix it. it is a manufacturing defect and should be addressed by the manufacturer. the repair cost is approximately $500.00.*ak | |||

| After confurring with many owners of a 1999 isuzu rodeo it is my consensus that there is a manufacturer malfunction with the fuel sending unit. fuel sending unit is not working properly and causes the gas guage to read empty. contacting isuzu has done consumers no good since isuzu denies any problem. however it is my understanding from a particular isuzu mechanic that he repairs 3-4 sending units per day. i do not feel it is a consumers responsibility to pay an enormous service cost to fix a problem that we believe the manufacturers know about and have chosen not to recall. *ak | |||
