1999 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE'S FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM AND ABS. CONSUMER HAD TO PAY OVER $500.00 IN REPAIRS FOR A PART FOR THE FUEL INJECTION. THE CONSUMER ALSO HAD WORK DONE ON THE ABS, BECAUSE THE LIGHT HAD CAME ON AGAIN, THE CONSUMER JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR ABS, BUT THE REPAIRS HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. THE CONSUMER FELT THE DEALER SHOULD REIMBURSE HER FOR COST OF REPAIRS. *MR *CB *JB *JB

CONSUMER NOTICED THAT WHEN APPLYING ABS BRAKES VEHICLE GOES INTO EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH. *AK

FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT IS FAULTY. GAS GAUGE DOES NOT CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK. THE ONLINE ISUZU FORUM I PARTICIPATE IN HAS SHOWN THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CHRONIC SINCE ABOUT 1996 IN BOTH THE TROOPER AND RODEO MODEL VEHICLES.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING THE ABS FAILED, CAUSING THE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

I HAVE A 99 RODEO LS W/63K ON IT. FUEL GAUGE GOES WACKY WHEN I FILL IT UP AND SOMETIMES WHEN EVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP METER TO GAUGE HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE LEFT. THE GAUGE USUALLY STARTS TO WORK AGAIN WHEN I HAVE 3/4 TANK LEFT.STARTING MAY TAKE SEVERAL TIMES. I TURN THE KEY AND HEAR A CLICK THEN NOTHING. I USUALLY HAVE TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES OR SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND THEN BACK INTO PARK AND IT MAY START. WIPER BLADES STOP IN MID WINDSHIELD WHEN USING THE INTERMITTENT SETTING. *AK I HAVE PRINTED THE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND FOUND THEM USEFUL. I WILL BRING THEM TO MY DEALER AND COMPLAIN TO GET THEM FIXED.

THIS CAR IS A LEMON. THERE SEEM TO BE MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE DASH LIGHTS ARE GOING OUT, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER SHIFT INDICATOR - THE CAR CAN BE IN "DRIVE", YET THE INDICATOR WILL HAVE "NEUTRAL" DISPLAYED. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK WHILE SHIFTING. THE REAR SUSPENSION HAS A VIBRATING SOUND NO ONE HAS FIGURED OUT......THE DEALER CLAIMS THE SUSPENSION IS FINE. IN ADDITTION, THE REAR DRUM BRAKES CONTINUALLY GO OUT.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING VEHICLE WILL STALL. *AK

1999 RODEO SHIFTS HARD INTO ALL GEARS AND FUSES KEEP BLOWING THAT CONTROLS THE DIRECTIONALS, REVERSE LIGHTS, A/C AND CRUISE CONTROL. 5 ATTEMPS HAVE BEEN MADE TO REPAIR PROBLEM AND NO SUCCESS. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ISUZU HAS NOT RESPONDED TO 2 LETTERS I HAVE MAILED, 1 LETTER WAS MAILED CONTAINING ALL DOCUMENTATION OF FAILURES AND THAT LETTER WAS RETURNED TO ME, ALSO MANY PHONE MESSAGES HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED. I WANT ISUZU TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND REPURCHASE MY CAR.*AK

SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH 1999 ISUZU RODEO'S WINDSHIELD WIPERS SOMETIMES STOP DURING USE. THIS IS DUE TO A KNOWN CIRCUIT BOARD PROBLEM IN OTHER ISUZU TRUCKS LIKE THE HOMBRE.THE HOMBRE HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT THE RODEO. WHY?*AK

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. INSTEAD OF THE SPECIFIED 1 QT/1000 MILES, THE VEHICLE CONSUMED 2.75 QT IN 2075 MILES. THE DEALER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO DRIVING CONDITIONS, WHICH RESULTED IN HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. IN ADDITION, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE MATERIALS WERE NOT DEFECTIVE AND WOULDN'T BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *PH *JB
