Failure of ABS brake system, even though dealer fixed the problem via recall; fuel leak at hose and fuel pump connection; failure of fuel sending unit and fuel gauge.

Fuel sending unit is operating erratically. Had it replaced after receiving what I thought was a recall from the manufacturer, only to be told by Isuzu rep that it was only a recommendation the time of the replacement the fuel gauge was reading correctly. I have personally talked to several repair places and some friends who have had the same problem with the Isuzu Rodeo/Honda passport. This seems to tell me that this is a common problem with these vehicles. I would greatly appreciate any help or feedback you can give me on this problem since the repair cost is near $600, and the sending unit is only available through Isuzu dealer service centers.

Own a 1998 Rodeo with approx 98,000 miles. I know it's high mileage and older model, but have essentially rebuilt engine over past year. New altinater, starter, replace part of exhaust, all belts, idler pulley just to name a few. Isuzu dealer wanted $900 to fix ABS system, but two recalls seem to have alleviated problem. A/C is broken and they want $1000 to fix. Seems a car w/no accident history should have enitire A/C defective/broken not just a compressor or fan or something.. moved on to different dealer in area and they seem to be better to deal w/, but this car has been meticulously maintained in the 2 yrs I've owned it yet I am constantly fixing the car. Why is this car falling apart...maybe they should make them cheaper if they are going to be so disposable.
