What 1998 Isuzu Amigo owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Fuel guage has stopped reporting the level of fuel correctly. It can bounce anywhere from a 1/4 to 1/2 a tank off of what is actually in the tank.
Engine check light illuminated; mechanic determined a leak in the right side (passenger side) intake manifold (fitting) causing vehicle to stall out whenever slowing down or while idling; also presented dangerous condition when vehicle stalled at approx. 40 MPH exiting on a exit ramp to enter the long island expressway!; I can hear a hissing noise from the engine.
Fuel injection leaks, causing fuel spillage. Vehicle is at dealer for repairs. Please provide further information.
These are not all the repairs for the vehicle, just the major ones that have been repaired numerous times.no safety defect.
When driving on wet pavement and upon making a normal stop, consumer experienced complete brake failure, resulting in extended stopping distance. Cause unknown. Also, gas tank has separated from bottom of vehicle, causing a fuel leakage, sun roof cover doesn't stay intact, and seat belt and gas pedal stick. Consumer has contacted dealer. *ak
Fuel gauge very inaccurate. Registers full until almost empty, then drops suddenly.
Gas gauge reads full until tank is nearly at 1/2. Then will run out of gas at around 1/8 to 1/4 showing on the gauge.
Gas guage reads full until tank is approximately 1/2 empty. Less than 1 gallon reads 1/4 tank on guage. Dealer referred my 1998 problem to tsb sb97-02-l009, a 1997 tsb regarding the isuzu rodeo model and a different symptom. Dealer's recommendation is to wait until isuzu solves the 1997 tsb.
