1999 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

FUEL GAUGE FAILURE, LOCKED CD CHANGER, REAR WIPER DEFECT, PASSENGER SEAT BELT DEFECT. *AK

IN DECEMBER 2002, I HAD THE ABS MODULE REPLACED DUE TO THE UNIT 'BEING FRIED' ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC. ONE YEAR LATER, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THERE IS SPORATIC BRAKING SLIPPAGE ESPECIALLY BRAKING DOWN HILL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE IS A $100 DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM BEFORE LOOKING AT ANYTHING. AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THE DEALER STATES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR SENSOR (ANOTHER $160 TO FIX). THE 99 ISUZU RODEO ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES AT THIS POINT AND HAS TWO PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM. THE DEALER DID A VIN SEARCH AND MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.

I HAVE CONTACTED THE COMPANY 10 TIMES TO FIX THE RECALL PROBLEMS WITH MY AUTO BUT NO ONE HAS EVEN BOTHERED TO FOLLOW UP OR GIVE THE INFO I NEED. MY AUTO IS FALLING APART WITH DEFECTS AND ISUZU SEEMS TO NOT CARE. *AK

MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO HAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT. I HAVE NOW READ COUNTLESS POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A POOR DESIGN ON ISUZU'S BEHALF.*AK

1999 ISUZU RODEO. FUEL GAUGE BECAME ERATIC AT 65,000 MILES. BASED ON ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, IT APPEARS THAT ISUZU HAS A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THROUGH A RECALL.*AK

WITH A SIMPLE PUSH OF THE BRAKES, CONSUMER SPUN OUT TWICE HITTING A TREE THE SECOND TIME. *PH SOON AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CAMPAIGN NOTICE IN THE MAIL. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A REFUND FOR THE CAR RENTAL AND DEDUCTIBLE, HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE ABS, COIL INTEGRATED MODULE REPLACEMENT WAS A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN, WHICH WAS AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE ABS , THE RECALL DID NOT ADDRESS OR INFER THERE WAS A DEFECT, SINCE THE ABS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT MET ALL STANDARDS. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED TWO LETTERS. THE FIRST LETTER STATED AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR AND THE SECOND LETTER STATED THE CAMPAIGN NOTICE WAS AN UPGRADE. *JB

I HAVE A 99 ISUZU RODEO LS WHICH I PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALER. SINCE DAY ONE IT HAS BEEN BURNING 1-2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERT 1000 MILES. I CONTACTED THE DEALER COUPLE TIMES AND THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL. UNACCEPTABLE. NO VEHICLE SHOULD BURN MORE OIL THAN GAS.*AK

HERE WE ARE AGAIN WITH THIS CRAZY FUEL LIGHT. CAN HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS AND FUEL LIGHT IS GLEAMING AND BLINKS EMPTY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!!!!!. LAST WEEK MY WIFE RAN OUT OF GAS DOING 45 MPH. YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCKING YOUR STEERING WHEEL CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. LUCKILY SHE DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I ASSURE YOU THAT IF MY WIFE IS THE ONE TO GET HURT....LOOKOUT ISUZU I'M TAKING EVERYTHING........FIX IT NOW!!!!! *JB

THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT 60,000 MILES. IT SHOWS THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY AFTER 10 GALLON CONSUMPTION. LOOKS LIKE ISUZU USED SOME CHEAP FAULTY COMPONENT THAT DOESN'T LAST TOO LONG, AND THIS SHOULD QUALIFY FOR A RECALL. PLEASE ADVISE. *JB

WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND IT WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THEN, CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. INSURANCE COMPANY FOUND THAT VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL 021002000 CONCERNING ABS BRAKE FAILURE BEFORE THE CURRENT OWNER BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE, BUT RECALL REPAIR PARTS FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO STOP. *AK *MR
