1999 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

I RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN MY GAUGE SAID I HAD FUEL LEFT. I WAS STRANDED WITH CHILDREN AND HAD TO WAIT UNTIL HELP CAME. THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. THE INDICATOR LIGHT WILL FLASH WHEN THERE IS A FULL TANK, AND THE DISPLAY FOR FULL OR EMPTY CHANGES AT ITS WHIM. THIS IS A COVERED REPAIR FOR 1998 AND 2000, BUT NOT FOR 1999. WHY IS ISUZU NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE? IT IS CLEARLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY IF YOU CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. *CB

RECALL# 02I002000 CONCERNING ABS. BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE DONE VEHICLE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY.*AK

THE VEHICLE'S RPMS REVVED TO 5000 AND ACCELERATED FORWARD WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER MOTORIST DUE TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *JB AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH HIS BRAKES. UPON ENTERING THE REPAIR SHOP, THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN ALMOST HITTING THE WALL. *PH

HAD TO REPLACE ABS MODULE LAST YEAR DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. ITEM WAS RECALLED THIS YEAR CAMPAIGN NO 021-002. CONTACTED AMERICAN ISUZU MOTORS TO REIMBURSE---THEY REFUSED. *LA

FUEL GAUGE FAULTY, CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON. ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED, HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE STRANDED DRIVERS DUE TO INCORRECT READING. *LA

I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE INABILITY TO STOP MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO ON OCCASION EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD THE ABS CONTROL MODULE REPLACED ACCORDING TO THE 02I002000 RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ABS CIM ON 10/29/2003. ON 1/9/2004, I LOST CONTROL OF MY BRAKES TWICE IN WINTER WEATHER. THE BRAKES WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WITH A GRINDING SOUND AND TO STOP, I USED MY HAND BRAKE. I HAD A FRIEND RECREATE THE PROBLEM THE SAME DAY. I DON'T BELIEVE THE RECALL HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR! *LA
