Fuel sending unit defective. Apparently a manufacturing problem after reading other posts. I have evacuated 3 times due to recent hurricanes in florida and have fought huge gas lines only to discover I still had 3/4 of a tank left even though it reads completely empty. I now have to rely on doing the math to determine if I need gas. This needs to be addressed now!!
1998 Isuzu Rodeo fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 32 of 32, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Failure of ABS brake system, even though dealer fixed the problem via recall; fuel leak at hose and fuel pump connection; failure of fuel sending unit and fuel gauge.
My gas gauge started acting funny, I called my mechanic and told him and he informed me of technical service on the fuel gauge sender. We called bob dance isuzu in sanford, florida and talked to him about the situation. He says that he has several isuzu rodeos coming in with this problem. I can't afford to replace something that is due to manufactures default. Someone needs to step in and make them fix the problem. I just talked to my friend who owns the same vehicle except a 2000 and she already had to replace this part. Do something about this situation!!!
Fuel gauge in 1998 isuzu rodeo. This is clearly malfunctioning/defective and, from reviewing a wide variety of internet newsgroups pervades all isuzu owners from this model year. The manufacture wants to place the blame on sulphur in the fuel. If this was the case, why does this condition not occur in many vehicle models. I believe this warrants a recall and I'm surprised a recall has not been issued. If you have any information about a forthcoming recall or what can be done to resolve this circumstance, it would be greatly appreciated. The dealer will only address this issue if the vehicle is under warranty. I've had the vehicle serviced multiple times but the dealer has never taken the initiative to repair/replace the part. This is unacceptable.
The fuel sending unit has become eratice since the vehicle was purchased used three years ago. At times it is impossible to know how much fuel remains in the tank. Even after filling the tank the guage may read empty and the low fuel lamp will flash. I've read that this is a common major repair on this vehicle.
Fuel sending unit is operating erratically. Had it replaced after receiving what I thought was a recall from the manufacturer, only to be told by isuzu rep that it was only a recommendation the time of the replacement the fuel gauge was reading correctly. I have personally talked to several repair places and some friends who have had the same problem with the isuzu rodeo/honda passport. This seems to tell me that this is a common problem with these vehicles. I would greatly appreciate any help or feedback you can give me on this problem since the repair cost is near $600.00, and the sending unit is only available through isuzu dealer service centers.
I have continually replaced major parts on my vehicle since owning it. From the electrical system, transmission, fuel pump, etc.
Fuel sending unit intermittent after fill-up, during daily driving. Gas gauge reads empty nearly all the time regardless of level of fuel. After filling tank gauge will rise to 1/2 then as you drive daily it will read empty w/low fuel warning on or it will stay at 1/2 tank then next day drop to empty.
