ALL THE LIGHTS ON BOARD ARE ON...STAYS ON FOR HOURS THAN GOES PARTIAL OFF ... ENGINE LIGHTS ON ZERO GAS ON ALL THE TIME... IS RISK TO DRIVE WITH ALL BOARD LIGHTS ON SO WHAT SHOULD I DO? IN PHOENIX, AZ. WHERE WE LIVE THERE IS NO ISUZU DEALER... *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 ISUZU ASCENDER WITH 9,900 MILES ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2009. IN NOVEMBER OF 2010, THE GAS GAUGE STARTED TO READ INACCURATELY. IF I FILLED THE TANK, THE GAS GAUGE WOULD SHOW FILLED. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70-80 MILES, THE GAUGE NEEDLE WOULD SLOWLY DROP TO 'E' AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I SEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS INVOLVING GMC VEHICLES. I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS THAT WERE ISSUED, HOWEVER, I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. FOR NOW, I CONTINUE TO FILL THE TANK, RESET THE TRIPOMETER AND REFILL ONCE I'VE DRIVEN 90-100 MILES, AS I AM NOT PREPARED TO SPEND $800 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT...THE MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE IS 24K. THANK YOU *TR

FUEL GAUGE IN 2007 ISUZU ASCENDER STARTED SHOWING INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL AS I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON I-71 SOUTH OF COLUMBUS,OH. IT STARTED SHOWING EMPTY BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEST HALF A TANK. *TR

I OWN A 2007 ISUZU ASCENDER I HAVE RIGHT AT 42,000 MILES ON IT I FILLED THE TANK YESTERDAY AND HAD 3/4 A TANK REMAINING LAST NIGHT THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK I HAD DRIVEN A LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY HOME AND THE GAS GAUGE STARTED GOING DOWN AND WITHIN A MILE FROM HOME MY GAS LIGHT WAS ON AND MY TANK SHOWED EMPTY . I DROVE MY VEHICLE HOME AND SWITCHED TO MY OTHER VEHICLE WHEN I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK THE GAS GAUGE JUMPED BACK UP TO 3/4 FULL . I CALLED THE ISUZU DEALER IN KNOXVILLE TN AND AS SOON AS I STATED WHAT WAS GOING ON HE KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE SO I FIGURED THAT THEY HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS THAN JUST MINE SO I LOOKED ONLINE WHEN I GOT OF WORK AND I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS AND THEY ARE ALL THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES STARTING ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE 2005'S . WHY ON EARTH HAVE THESE PROBLEMS NOT BE RECALLED FOR THIS YET THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM SEEMS LIKE ON THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. *TR

I BROUGHT MY ASDENDER TRUCK FROM MATT BLATT IN VINLAND IN 2007 WITH 211 MILES AND I ALWAYS HAD PROBLEM AT THE GAS STATION BUT I DID NOT PLAY IT ANY MIND. THEN ONE DAY I TOOK THE TRUCK FOR SERVICE AND I SAID PLEASE CHECK OUT THE GAS TANK BECAUSE IT ALWAYS CUTTING OFF AT THE PUMP,SO THEY CHECK IT AND TOLD ME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE GAS LINE FILTER AND THE BALL THAT TELL U HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE. THIS TRUCK JUST TURN THREE YR OLD IN APRIL I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THEM THING ALREADY. I THINK THIS PROBLEM WAS ALREADY THERE WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TRUCK. NOW I HAVE NO MORE WARNING ON THE TRUCK/ THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE RECALL FOR THE GAS TANK . TO ME THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE I AM SCARE SOME TIME . I JUST DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. *TR

AFTER NORMAL, MOSTLY RURAL, PERSONAL, NON-COMMERCIAL USE IN CENTRAL TEXAS, THE LF TIRE FAILED AFTER 16 MONTHS AND 27000 MILES OF SERVICE. THE TREAD/BELT SHOWED AN OBVIOUS LARGE BULGE AND SEPARATION FROM THE CARCASS OVER APPROXIMATELY 10% OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE OUTSIDE TREAD PORTION OF THE TIRE. THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH AUDIBLE EXTERNAL NOISE (AT SLOW SPEEDS) ALONG WITH A FELT BUMP IN THE TIRE AND A SHIMMY ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SYMPTOMS WERE REDUCED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS WAS NOTICED AROUND THE LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER, 2009. IT WAS REPORTED TO CONTINENTAL VIA A LOCAL CONTINENTAL TIRE DEALER AND THE ADJUSTMENT WAS 25% OFF OF A NEW REPLACEMENT TIRE. CUSTOMER SERVICE AT CONTINENTAL APPARENTLY DETERMINED THAT 16 MONTHS AND 27000 MILES WAS 3/4 OF THE TIRES LIFE. THREE WEEKS AND 400 MILES LATER, THE LR TIRE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND MY EXAMINATION REVEALED AN IDENTICAL BULGE OVER APPROXIMATELY 10% OF THE TIRE CIRCUMFERENCE. AT THE TIME MY FAMILY & I WERE DRIVING TO THE AUSTIN, TX AIRPORT FOR A THANKSGIVING VACATION OUT OF STATE. WHEN I RETURNED EIGHT DAYS LATER, I AGAIN WENT TO THE LOCAL CONTINENTAL DEALER, WHO CONFIRMED MY INSPECTION (THIS TIME WITH STEEL CORDS SHOWING AT THE FAILED SPOT), AND TOLD THEM THAT I NO LONGER TRUSTED THE REMAINING TWO ORIGINAL TIRES AND WOULD LIKE FOR CONTINENTAL TO REPLACE ALL FOUR WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF APPROPRIATE TIRES. THAT REQUEST AS WELL AS THE WARRANTY REPLACEMENT OF THE SECOND DEFECTIVE TIRE IS INCOMPLETE AT THIS TIME. CONTINENTAL TIRE CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS ALREADY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY ADJUSTMENT UNTIL THE TIRE FAILS. IF IT FAILS ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE DIRE FOR MY FAMILY OR OTHERS. AS CAN BE IMAGINED, I AM NOT SO HAPPY ABOUT THE SITUATION. *TR
