Filed compliant w/NHTSAtgime7 06-10-2004, 04:58 PM I don't know if this will do any good, but after reading how many people had issues/failures w/ their fuel sending units (including myself), I filed a complaint w/ NHTSA. I know in an earlier post someone mentioned a recall but I have still heard nothing about it. Why should we have to pay a rediculous amount of money for something the manufacturer knows about and refuses to fix? Maybe if enough people file a complaint about it...someone...somewhere will get a fire under their a** and do something about it! Thanks for letting rant! surferfletch 06-10-2004, 08:26 PM Did you see if your local dealer would do it for nada? tgime7 06-11-2004, 01:15 AM I did actually about a year ago when it first messed up and they, in no uncertain terms told me to go f*** myself. So since then I have not tried. surferfletch 06-11-2004, 12:25 PM Eeeeh. solarisdx 06-23-2004, 09:22 PM I'm gonna check out the NHTSA website now and file one too. It's one more to the cause! :) jbob 07-11-2004, 12:53 AM I have a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo and I'm having the same problem with my gas gauge not working other than that, The vehicle is really good. I filed a complaint with the NHTSA, I also sent e-amils to my senators and representatives in washington, I know that sounds like a lot of trouble, but it only takes a little while ( copy and paste ). They contacted the NHSTA also on my behalf inquiring about the problem. I got responses from both senators and copies of the replys they recieved from the NHSTA. In the replys they mentioned the complaint I filed with them. Also they said that they had recieved quite a few reports of this problem. So don't loose hope guys, keep filing complaints, eventually they will have to recall the vehicle for this problem. So far, I have refused to fix the problem because I don't think that I should. It's a manufaturers defect. I have a 92 pontiac grand am...gas gauge works...a 1990 F-150...gas gauge works. why shouldn't my 99 Rodeo gas gauge work. So the problem is the sending unit? atleast that is what I get from reading the posts. I also have a lot to say about the Isuzu Service....But, I'd get kicked off if I used the language I really wanted to. Let's just say, Isuzu mechanics (atleast the one's I've dealt with) come in a close tie with ambulance chacing lawyers on my list of favorite people. I've also noticed, the little slips when I'm stopping sometimes, usually on a bumpy road, I've attributed this to an over sensative ABS system, It was doing it before I got the recall for this problem, and it's doing it after. I've also noticed some hard shifting lately, but mostly after I've let the Rodeo sit all week ( I drive the pontiac to work during the week) Is this something I should be concerned with? Dober89 07-11-2004, 11:36 AM As far as the hard shifting goes just make sure you are up to date with your transmission fluid changes and make sure its not leaking any. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
