I PURCHASED A NEW 1999 RODEO WHICH CURRENTLY HAS APPROX. 50,745 MILES. 2ND DAY OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH "FIXED" THE PROBLEM; DRIVING OUT OF THE LOT FOR THE SECOND TIME, LIGHT CAME BACK ON, TOOK THE DEALERSHIP 1 WEEK TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, THAT PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. NOW, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES OR STAYS ON WHEN TANK IS FULL, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS REALLY IN THE TANK. NOT TO MENTION THE ANXIETY TRYING TO REMEMBER WHEN I LAST FILLED THE TANK AND HOW MUCH FUEL IT TOOK.CAR VIBRATES AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 55MPH STEERING WHEEL JUST SHAKES. PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING OVER WET SURFACES OR BUMPS, ANTI LOCK BRAKES SEEM TO SLIDE CAUSING VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO MOVE AFTER BRAKE HAS BEEN APPLIED. TIMING BELT WAS CRACKED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED WITHOUT EVER RECEIVING ANY NOTIFICATION FROM ISUZU THEREFORE, I HAD TO ABSORB THE COST OF REPLACING A DEFECTIVE ITEM ORIGINALLY INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. HOPING ISUZU WILL REIMBURSE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 1999. *AK
