FUEL GAUGE/SENSOR FAILURE. FUEL INDICATOR DISPLAYS INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. INDICATOR READS THAT THE TANK IS FULL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING, BUT BECOMES ERRATIC AT ABOUT 10 MILES AND THEN INDICATES AN EMPTY TANK SOON THEREAFTER. FUEL LIGHT ALSO FLASHES ON AND OFF PERIODICALLY.

THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE WINDOWS FAILED TO ROLL UP AND DOWN ON THEIR ON. DRIVER TRIED TO ROLL THE WINDOWS UP AND FAILED TO DO SO. THEN, DRIVER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE POWER MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

THE FUEL GAUGE WILL DROP DOWN TO EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND PAID AND ESTIMATE FEE OF $80 ONLY TO HAVE THEM TELL ME TO BUY A NEW GAS CAP WHICH I DID AND THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN SEE FROM THIS PAGE THAT OTHER'S EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM AND FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE REPAIR BY ISUZU AT NO COST TO ME. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A SHOP WHICH REPLACED THE GAS TANK SENSOR FOR $400.00 WHICH I THINK ISUZU SHOULD REIMBURSE.*AK
