Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The classic fuel sending unit problem that thousands of rodeo owners (mine is a 1999) are complaining about. my problem started shortly after i had the car in for service around 45,000 miles. i was at first suspicous that the dealer broke it doing other repairs, but now i see that the problem is rampant and probably not related. the fuel guage is useless. i keep track using the odometer because repair cost is prohibitive, with no guarantee that it won't fail again. this is clearly a quality/engineering problem and a safety issue that isuzu should remedy. how can they recall 1998 and 2000 and skip 1999?*ak
