2002 Isuzu Axiom Fuel system Problems

“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.

Only after getting Isuzu involved, did the dealership honor the warranty and replaced the transmission. Three weeks later I received the vehicle back. …”
