CONTINUOUS GAS SMELL IN AND AROUND AUTOMOBILE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN JAN 2013 ALTHOUGH THE SMELL HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR MANY YEARS. TOOK AUTO TO REPAIR SHOP AND DISCOVERED THAT THEIR WAS A SIZEABLE CRACK AT THE OPENING OF THE GAS TANK. AROUND 1,500 DOLLARS LATER A NEW GAS TANK, NEW FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY, I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART FROM GM, ESPECIALLY SINCE SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERING HOW MANY HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE AND THE SCARY THOUGHT THAT THE CAR COULD HAVE BLOWN UP AND ANY TIME. A CLASS ACTION SUIT NEEDS TO BE FILED AGAINST GM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT AROUND 35 - I HEARD A VERY LOAD THUMP FROM AROUND THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE BACK TIRE THEY CAR STARTED SWERVING ALL OVER THE ROAD. I COULD BARELY GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY SON CAME AND WAS ABLE TO NURSE IT TO MY HUSBANDS HOUSE THAT WASN'T THAT FAR. THE NEXT DAY MY SONS PUT THE CAR ON THE JACK STANDS THINKING MAYBE THE STRUT CAME OFF. WHEN THEY GOT UNDER THE CAR THE FOUND THAT THE FRAME OF THE CAR HAD RUSTED THROUGH. WHEN I HAD LOOKED THE CAR UP ON LINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR IN REGARDS TO THAT ISSUE I DID FIND A RECALL ON THE RUST ISSUE. I STARTED CALLING THE NUMBER AND LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES. I FINALLY GOT THROUGH ON JANUARY THE 5TH AND THEY TELL ME THAT IT HAD CLOSED BUT IF I WANTED TO GET IT TO AN ISUZU DEALER AT MY COST THAT IS OVER 2 HOURS AWAY AND PAY FOR THE TEST THEY MAY BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING OR GO AFTER THE PERSON BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE KNOWN. I FEEL THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. I LOVED MY CAR AND NOW HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH ANY OTHER PART OF THE VEHICLE AND I AM GRATEFUL I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY AND THAT NONE OF MY OTHER CHILDREN WERE DRIVING IT AT THE TIME. *TR

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.
