MY 2001 ISUZU RODEO HAS DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE. I AM FORTUNATE AND BLESSED NOT TO HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. I ROLLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. NOW,THE CAR IS INOPERABLE. THE NEXT PERSON MIGHT NOT BE SO FORTUNATE. WHY WON'T THE MANUFACTURER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THESE CARS ARE NOT OF GOOD QUALITY AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT'S A SHAME THAT SOMEONE HAS TO LOOSE A LIFE FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN. *JB

ON MY 1999 RODEO THE OIL DISAPPEARS IT WILL GO FOR LITTLE WHILE THEN NO OIL REGISTER ON STICK IT IS NOT BURNING OIL AND CAN'T FIND ANY LEAKS. I KNOW THIS IS PROBLEM IN MANY OF THESE . IT ALSO SEEMS AT TIMES THAT SOMETHING IS DRAGGING IN THE ENGINE AREA LIKE FAN OR SOMETHING. *JB

1998 ISUZU RODEO USED 5 LITERS OF OIL IN 4000 KMS AND SEIZED UP WITH OUT WARNING ON 30 DEC 05. THE OIL LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON ISUZU DEALERS SAID IT WON'T COME ON UNTIL VEHICLE IS OUT OF OIL. SO WHY PUT SENSORS ON THE TRUCK. ONLY 92000 KMS ON THE RODEO TALKED TO SATURN, ISUZU IN FREDRICTON AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TOLD TO BAD SO SAD CHECK YOU OIL MORE BUT IF WE DO A RECALL ON EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION KEEP YOUR BILL AND WE MAY REFUND YOU. THE TRUCK DID NOT SMOKE OR LEAK OIL. THE OIL WAS CHECK 14 NOV 05. IT ALWAYS USED 1 LITRE EVERY 5000 KMS. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WOULD NOT GET ANY WORSE. GUESS THEY WERE WRONG IT IS GOING TO COST ME $3700 TO FIX. THANKS ISUZU AND GM. *NM

DEC. 26, 2005 MY HUSBAND WENT TO WORK AT 3:00PM IN THE AFTERNOON. ON DEC 27,2005 HE CAME HOME AT 3:30 AM IN THE MORNING, HE GOT IN THE SHOWER AND WHEN HE GOT OUT OUR DOG STARTED TO BARK, SO HE LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHEN HE HEARD A POP. SO HE LOOKED AGAIN AND FLAMES STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE PASSENGER FRONT FENDER. HE YELLED, I RAN OUT THERE AND HE WAS USING THE HOSE I CALLED 911 AND WE WERE TRYING TO POP THE HOOD FINALLY RIGHT BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT HERE MY HUSBAND PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE FIREMEN OPENED THE HOOD AND THEN THEY OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THEN ANOTHER FIRE STARTED IN THE DRIVERS FLOORBOARD COMING THROUGHOUT THE FIREWALL. THEY PUT THAT OUT. THEY ASKED IF WE WERE DRIVING IT BUT IT HAD BEEN TURNED OFF FOR AT LEAST 30 TO 40 MINUTES. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED NEXT TO OUR HOUSE UNDER A CAR PORT WITH BOTH OF OUR KIDS IN THE HOUSE AND AT WITH CARS IN FRONT OF IT. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING SO GOOD DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. I READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT'S SIMILAR WHICH IS 94V132000 BUT ISUZU SAID IT WASN'T THE SAME SO IT WAS MY PROBLEM. WE ONLY HAVE LIABILITY INSURANCE. THERE IS NOTHING LEFT INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BESIDES THE MAIN ENGINE. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS BURNED AND FELL OUT. *JB
