3 MONTHS AGO MY FUEL SENDER WENT BAD ON MY 2002 ISUZU AXIOM. IT CAN NOT TELL THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. I WENT TO ALLDATA WEBSITE TO REVIEW IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS AND THERE WAS ONE FOR FUEL PUMPS (SB05-02-S002). THE BULLETIN DESCRIBED HOW SILICON-CONTAMINATED FUEL IN TEXAS AND ISUZU WAS SUPPOSE TO REPLACE ALL FUEL PUMPS WHETHER THEY NEEDED IT OR NOT AT NO CHARGE TO US. YOU SEE, THE FUEL SENDER IS ATTACHED TO THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. ACCORDING SB05-02-S002, THIS FUEL PUMP PROBLEM IS POTENTIALLY A SOURCE OF FIRE DUE TO A FUEL PUMP LEAK. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND NATIONAL ISUZU HEADQUARTERS AND THEY BOTH TOLD ME BASED ON THE VIN # OF MY VEHICLE, I DID NOT NEED MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THIS AND THAT IS WHY I AM CONTACTING YOU FOR HELP. *JB

I BOUGHT MY ISUZU AXIOM IN NOV 2002. IT HAS HAD SEVERAL HAZARDOUS DEFECTS. 1) IN MAY 2005, AT 60,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW TO 20-30 MPH, NO LONGER ACCELERATING. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID BURNT UP. AFTER TWO TRANSMISSION FLUSHES THE TRANSMISSION STILL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONLY AFTER GETTING ISUZU INVOLVED, DID THE DEALERSHIP HONOR THE WARRANTY AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THREE WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK. THE SAME DAY IT SUDDENLY SLOWED AGAIN, NOT ACCELERATING PAST 20 MPH AND IT SLIPPED/SPUN ACCELERATING FROM STOP LIGHTS. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE MAIN OIL SEAL WAS REPLACED. AFTER THAT IT WORKED WITH INTERMITTENT PERIODS OF SLIPPING/SPINNING WHEN ACCELERATING. IT PROGRESSIVELY BECAME SLOWER TO ACCELERATE WHEN PASSING, CHANGING LANES. IN SEPT. 05 THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD AGAIN, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE GOING UP A HILL, CAUSING A NEAR ACCIDENT WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED AGAIN, FOR THE THIRD TIME! WHAT GOOD IS ISUZU AXIOM'S 10 YEAR/120,000 MILE WARRANTY IF THE TRANSMISSION KEEPS GOING OUT SUDDENLY AS I DRIVE IT? THE WARRANTY WON'T PREVENT ME FROM BEING IN AN ACCIDENT THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS. IN ADDITION IT HAS EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING DEFECTS. 2) SEPT. 04 THE TIMING BELT CRACKED AT 44,000 MILES, NEEDING REPLACED. PER THE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE IT SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACED UNTIL 100,000 MILES. 3)JUNE 04, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GAS METER DIPPED TO EMPTY AFTER JUST FILLING UP. THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED REPLACED. 4)JUNE 04, THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AT THE DEALER. 5)MARCH 04 AND OCTOBER 04 THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS NEEDED REPACKED AND NOW NEED FULLY REPLACED DUE TO BARELY PASSING SEPT 05 STATE INSPECTION. 6)THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SKIDS TO STOP WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED IN THE RAIN. *JB
