EMAIL FM JERRY BOWER (TX RE THE DEFECTIVE GAS GAUGE ON HIS 1999 ISUZU RODEO, IT STOPPED FUNCTIONING AT APPROXIMATELY 79,000 MILES, REPLY ATTN JAMES ALDREDGE/AUSTIN DISTRICT OFFS, DOT/I#2004-4065. *PH *JB

FUEL SENDING UNIT FOR 1999 ISUZU RODEO. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY SUV. I AM A REAL ESTATE AGENT AND I DRIVE ALL THE TIME. I NEED TO HAVE A RELIABLE SIGNAL FOR THE GAS.*AK

WHILE TRYING TO STOP VEHICLE RACED AND LURCHED FORWARD. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK *SC

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 00I00200 CONCERNING ALTERNATOR FAILURE ABOUT 40 DAYS AGO, THE DEALER DIDN'T HAVE YET THE PARTS FOR RECALL REPAIRS. THIS WAS PART OF A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN. PARTS WERE RECEIVED AND THE RECALL REPAIR WAS FINALLY COMPLETED. *AK *MR

HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO BE FILED BEFORE THE NHTSA FINALLY STEPS IN? THE BELOW COMPLAINTS ARE NOT COINCIDENCES, IT'S A SAFETY AND INTEGRITY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. WE NEED THE NHTSA TO STEP IN AND MAKE ISUZU AMERICA DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND RECALL THE FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. IF THIS FAILS THEN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST ISUZU MOTORS MAY BE NECESSARY.

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM THREE MONTHS AGO. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE DEALERSHIP STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO CONDUCT THE RECALL. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 99 RODEO IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE 66,000 MILES AND THE PROBLEM JUST BEGAN WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT CONSTANTLY MOVES UP AND DOWN, EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK. THE GAS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND EVENTUALLY STARTS TO BLINK. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $400 AND $500 TO REPAIR AND THAT EVENTUALLY THIS WOULD TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, IT WILL COST EVEN MORE TO REPAIR. I WAS ALSO TOLD TO MAKE SURE I REFUEL AFTER 150 MILES TO ENSURE THAT THE CAR DOES NOT BREAK DOWN. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *LA

I RECENTLY WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT I COULD NOT AVOID. 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT I RECEIVED A RECALL IN THE MAIL FOR MY ABS MODULE AND BRAKE SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH MY ABS LIGHT WAS ALREADY ON I ASSUMED THE RECALL WAS WHY. I TOOK IT IN, THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. I GUESS I WAS WRONG. I DROVE UP AND TOLD THE GENTLEMAN THAT MY ABS LIGHT WAS STILL ON, AND I ASKED WHY HE SAID THAT THAT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN IT NOT BE PART OF THE RECALL WHEN IT'S PART OF THE MODULE. SO I LEFT IT AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT BACK WHEN I CAN GET THE MONEY TO COVER MY CO-PAY. THE I GET IN THE ACCIDENT, KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY JUST FIXED MY ABS SYSTEM AND BRAKES. IT HAD RAINED AND I TRIED TO STOP TO KEEP FROM HITTING SOMEONE. IT DIDN'T WORK, I'VE HAD VEHICLES WITH ABS BEFORE, SO I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO, AND THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I JUST SLID AND I MEAN SLID INTO THIS GUY. IF THE ISUZU PLACE WHERE I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO GET FIXED WOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, I COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS WHOLE SITUATION. BUT INSTEAD I GOT THIS WHOLE STORY ABOUT HOOKING IT UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE &THERE COULD HAVE BEEN 30-40 DIFFERENT THINGS WRONG WITH IT, AND THAT WOULD COST ME $180.00. BUT INSTEAD I TOOK IT FOR GRANTED THAT THEY FIXED THE RECALL DEFECT. THAT'S ONLY MY FIRST COMPLAINT, I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY GAS IN THIS VEHICLE. I TOOK IT IN 2-4 TIMES TO GET IT FIXED AND ALL THEY DO IS A VISUAL INSPECTION, AND TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. THERE IS WHEN I USE 1/4 TANK OF GAS GOING 12 MILES.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY YEAR WITH MY AIR CONDITIONER. THE COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED EVERY TIME, TWICE LAST YEAR WITH IN 3 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. THEY HAVE REPLACE THE FOLLOWING PARTS AS WELL GASKETS, DRYER, VALVES AND COOLING CLUTCH. NOW I HAVE IT IN THE SHOP AGAIN TODAY. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AT FIRST EXCEPT THAT I WAS LOW ON FREON AND THEY SAID I SHOULD BE ADDING EACH YEAR. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. NOW THEY TELL ME THEY FOUND A BAD O RING THAT GOES TO THE HOSE OFF THE DRYER FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER. I HAVE TO PAY $100 FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY CHARGE. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD EVEN HAVE TO PAY THIS.
