| The fuel gauge will drop down to empty and the check engine light is constantly on. i took it to the dealer and paid and estimate fee of $80 only to have them tell me to buy a new gas cap which i did and the same problem. i can see from this page that other's experience the same problem and feel that this should be repair by isuzu at no cost to me. i had to take it to a shop which replaced the gas tank sensor for $400.00 which i think isuzu should reimburse.*ak | |||

| Transmission mode switch has failed 4 times in one month and there is no identifiable cause by balboa isuzu. this is such a common occurrence right now that all the dealerships are holding onto their parts closely and will not sell to another dealership. this is ridiculous! even the factory can't figure it out. causes the teansmission to downshift and is extremely unsafe.*ak | |||
