2002 Isuzu Axiom Fuel System Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 ISUZU AXIOM. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP, SENSOR, AND BRAKE LINE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,001.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 ISUZU AXIOM XS. THE CONTACT NOTICED CORROSION ON THE PAN THAT HOLDS THE GASOLINE UNDERNEATH THE FUEL TANK ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC IN JULY 2009 DUE TO CORROSION, WHERE THEY REPLACED THE SUPPORT ARM; HOWEVER, THE CORROSION RECURRED. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SPRAYED IT WITH A CORROSIVE PREVENTIVE. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

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
