2005 ISUZU ASCENDER Complaints

THE GAS GAUGE IN MY 2005 ASCENDER STOPPED WORKING. IT IS ALWAYS SHOWING THAT THE CAR IS EMPTY. I HAVE NOTICED ON THE WEB THAT SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

FILL CAR UP AND IT SHOWS EMPTY....IT MIGHT FROM TIME TO TIME GO UP SOME BUT I HAVE TO WATCH MY MILEAGE TO SEE HOW MUCH I HAVE DRIVEN TO FILL UP AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 ISUZU ASCENDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER AND OIL GAUGE WERE ALL PROVIDING ERRATIC READINGS. AFTER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD PROVIDE AN ERRONEOUS READING OF ZERO. THE OIL GAUGE PRESSURE WOULD MOVE BACK AND FORTH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP, SENSOR AND THE LEVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL GENERAL MOTORS BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE MANUFACTURED BY GENERAL MOTORS. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED GENERAL MOTORS BUT WAS REFERRED BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE ISUZU ASCENDER 2005 HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER AND OIL GAUGE. ALL ARE READING ERRATICALLY. FILL THE TANK THE GAUGE READS THAT IS NEEDS GAS. THE OIL GAUGE IS COMPLETELY AS HAVE CHANGED OUT THE FUEL GAUGE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK FOR ABOUT $750 THAT WORKED FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. THE MECHANIC SAYS THIS IS AN ERROR AND JUST RESETS IT AFTER CHECKING THE ON BOARD SYSTEM. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER IS RARELY ACCURATE ANYMORE. IT CAN BE FINE WHEN I START OUT BUT THEN JUMP TO AN OBNOXIOUS SPEED AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW, IT SAYS I AM GOING 120 MILES AN HOUR AND 65 MILES AN HOUR WHEN STOPPED. THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT READING CORRECTLY AND THE OIL GAUGE IS STUCK ALL THE WAY OVER. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT. WHEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIXED AND IT WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER GOES HAYWIRE WHEN IT DROPS BELOW A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE AND THE GAS GAUGE WHEN IT RAINS OR IT'S HUMID. I KNOW IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS BUT I HAD NO PROBLEMS DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS WITH EITHER UP UNTIL NOW RAINY SEASON. IT HAS ONLY COME OFF ONCE, WHEN I REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT IT CAME BACK ON A DAY LATER. HOPE SOMEONE FIGURES SOMETHING OUT! *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS PULLING OUT TO TURN LEFT ONTO A 4 LANE ROAD. AS SHE CROSSED THE MEDIAN SHE HIT A LARGE PUDDLE AND HYDROPLANED. WHEN THE CAR HIT A DRY PATCH ON THE ROAD, BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. SHE WAS THEN ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE IT 1-MILE HOME. THE INSURANCE COMPANY INSPECTED THE CAR AND CLAIMS IT IS A MECHANICAL ERROR. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER AND WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM ISUZU. *JB

HAVE PROBLEMS WITH FRONT STEERING AND SUSPENSION SYSTEM EVER SINCE THIS HAPPENED. HAD REPLACE RACK & PINION 4 TIMES SINCE THIS DATE AND RODS, SHOCKS, ARM TERMINALS...........NO MATTER HOW LOW USAGE IS DONE...FRONT DRIVE LINE IS A LEMON. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH GM SUV'S LIKE ENVOY, TRAILBLAZER, BUICK AND POSSIBLY MORE. OUR DEALER INSISTS THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS VEHICLE IS PRETTY MUCH 99% GM EXCEPT FOR THE NAME. *JS

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.. TEST INDICATES IT IS THE ENGINE THERMOSTAT. AC/HEATER FAN WILL NOT WORK ON HIGH SPEED.. *JS
