“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 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10174169, filed 2006-11, 71,000 miles“The fuel gauge will drop down to empty and the check engine light is constantly on. I took it to the dealer and paid and estimate fee of $80 only to have them tell me to buy a new gas cap which I did and the same problem. I can see from this page that other's experience the same problem and feel that this should be repair by Isuzu at no cost to me. I had to take it to a shop which replaced the gas tank sensor for $400.00 which I think Isuzu should reimburse.”
NHTSA complaint #10113925, filed 2005-03“I was driving along one day and the check engine light came on in my 2000 Isuzu rodeo. I started to get bad gas milege. I took it to the Isuzu dealer and they replaced the gas filter because it was still under warranty. About two days later the same thing happened. They then told me it was my fuel pump or sensor acutally and that Isuzu would not replace it was not a warranty part and that I would have to drop the $300 and some to pay for it. Everything else was under warrantly except that.”
