The contact owns a 1998 Isuzu Rodeo. The contact was driving 40 mph when the rear of the vehicle suddenly began to abruptly sway to the right. The contact merged the vehicle to the shoulder and called a tow truck. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who inspected the failure and advised the contact that the brackets from the frame were fractured and also caused a hole in the fuel tank. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number: 10V436000 (suspension: Rear) and was advised by the dealer that the rear suspension could be repaired under the recall but not the hole in the fuel tank. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who confirmed to the contact that the recall repair would not cover the damage of the fuel tank. The failure mileage was 160,000.

I have some very important issues pertaining to my 1998 Isuzu Rodeo. I read several blogs on a forum from other Rodeo owners that have had some of the same problems that I have with mine. The biggest one is the ABS system and the other is the fuel sending unit and gas gauge. These are two of the most reported problems but not the only ones. It seems that Isuzu should be doing something to correct these and other problems associated with this vehicle. The ABS has been addressed in some but not in others. Although the gas gauge does not pose any real safety issues it is one that poses minor safety issue because of the possibility of running out of gas because of not knowing the correct amount of fuel in the car.

Fuel gauge began reading erroneous. Replaced fuel sending unit located inside fuel tank but still only reads 1/8 of a tank when full. I believe the vehicle must be reprogrammed by the dealer for this particular model year. I have to go by the miles driven to estimate next fuel stop.

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.

Fuel sending unit intermittent after fill-up, during daily driving. Gas gauge reads empty nearly all the time regardless of level of fuel. After filling tank gauge will rise to 1/2 then as you drive daily it will read empty w/low fuel warning on or it will stay at 1/2 tank then next day drop to empty.
