THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THE '01 ISUZU RODEO IS FAULTY AND CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND THE GAS GAUGE TO WORK IMPROPERLY. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE '01 RODEO APPEARS TO BE STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND FOR THE ENGINE. THE TRANSMISSION ON MY '01 RODEO, AFTER 70,000 MILES, HAS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR 4 WHEEL DRIVING. THOUGH THEY RECALLED THE '02 FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT THEY DID NOT INCORPORATE THE '01 INTO THAT RECALL. *NM

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM SINCE 45,000 MILES. ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WHILE IN DRIVE OR FROM A STOP, CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE DESPITE PUSHING ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. TRIED STOPPING CAR (TO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE) BUT DOES NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. SEEMS TO GO AWAY IF I SHIFT TO GEAR 3 THEN BACK TO DRIVE. IF LEFT IN DRIVE, SLOWLY DRIVES FIVE MILES PER HOUR FOR SEVERAL BLOCKS. ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS, MOSTLY WHEN ACCELERATING. TOOK INTO DEALER. COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM DUE TO NOT DUPLICATABLE PROBLEM. GUESSED THAT IT WAS THE INHIBITOR SWITCH, BUT COULD NOT TELL ME FOR SURE. SPOKE WITH ISUZU AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO DO NOTHING UNTIL IT BREAKS COMPLETELY. NO PARTS REPLACED. *AK
