We bought this 06 accender and at about 35,000 + miles the fuel sensor gave out on my vehicle and the check engine light comes on. It will costme close to 700 dlls to get fixed. I also have a co-worker with an 06 as well and is having the same issues as I am.

First, I think it's important to point out, this vehiicle (2006 Isuzu Ascender ls, 7 passenger) shares a majority of it's parts with the Chevy trailblazer ext and GMC Envoy XL. After a full tank of fuel has burned off to about 3/4 tank, the fuel gage would start to go up and down erratically from F to E until the tank was empty or refiled. This continued for about 6 months until the gage would not register at all and the fuel light would remain lit.

2006 Isuzu Ascender. Bought new in Feb '06. Gas gauge/fuel sending unit failed at approx. 40,000 miles. No longer under warranty. The rear air quit working at approx. 37,000 miles. Had to replace cam sensor twice. Idler pulley had to be replaced. Main complaint is the fuel sending unit. This vehicle is made by GM and is a sister SUV to the Envoy, trailblazer, rainier. This year vehicle under all sister vehicles have this problem. GM need to recall the sending units. My SUV only has 50,000 miles on it to date 3/10/11. This is a lemon.

Faulty fuel level sending unit, the fuel gauge read between an 1/8 and 1/4 tank. The vehicle stalled out in a busy intersection. After filling the tank back up the gauge would be very sporadic and now does not work at all. This seems to be a large problem with GM fuels levels sending units.

May 2009 isuzi Ascender I took to the dealer they replaced the entire fuse panel located under the back seat for electrical issues. Prior to that I had a bearing in the engine go out 2008. Now as of Feb 2010 my fuel level sensor has now gone out. This is several issues with a vehicle I purchased new 8-2006 and have had multiple problems with it.
