Example complaints
Fuel system: “My mother and stepfather gave me their 2000 Isuzu rodeo this summer. About 6 or 7 months prior to them giving me the vehicle its check engine light came on. Once the vehicle would get to a tank of gas the fuel gauge would start to wave back and forth from full to empty with the gas light flashing. The vehicle also begins to sputter and lose power sporadically. I've researched this and found it seems to be a very common problem/trait on a 2000-2001 Isuzu rodeo. It appears to be a faulty fuel sending unit which is mounted inside the gas tank with the fuel pump. …”
NHTSA complaint #10214740, filed 2008-01, 89,000 milesSuspension: “The contact owns a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo Sport. The contact stated that rust was exhibited on the rear of the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was included in the recall under NHTSA campaign id number: 10v436000 (suspension:rear) but was advised by the manufacturer that the vehicle was not within the period of performance time to have the work performed. The manufacturer denied any assistance with repairs to the defect. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 120,177.”
NHTSA complaint #10441007, filed 2011-12, 120,177 milesEngine cooling: “Check engine light stays on and truck cuts off frequently. I have had the plugs and wires changed, numerous oil changes, gas treatments. I took it to a mechanic several times. I even went on line to check information and was told that the fuel tank has gone bad and that one coming from the manufacture would cost $1500.00! I just bought this truck in may 2004. I haven't been able to drive the truck for almost 2 weeks, and I still over 2 1/2 years on it. Why aren't there recalls on this fuel tank/gas/emissions system ???I don't have $1500.00 dollars , plus continue to make payments on it too.”
