| I bought a 1999 isuzu rodeo 4x4 from auto west honda at the roseville auto mall in sacramento ca. i purchased this car approximately 4 years ago without a warranty. i was desperate for a car and the extended warranty was not affordable. the isuzu had a problem with the a/c about a week after buying the car. i took it back to the dealer and the looked at it free of charge. they found that there was a leak in a hose and it would cost $600 to fix. do to the fact that it was not a driving hazard the regular warranty would not cover the cost. after driving the isuzu for about 2 months the fuel gage malfunctioned. i did some research online and with other owners of isuzu?s and found that they all had similar complaints about there a/c and fuel gauges. i also found that the sending unit inside the fuel tank easily malfunctions in many of the rodeos though an online blog about this product. i believe that i have the same problem but do not have the finances to repair. i was wondering if there was anything i could do to fix my issue with this car. the dealerships have always given me the run around when i ask questions and so i gave up. then moments ago a friend told me about this web site that i can trust. *tr | |||
