I have a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo 2.2L 4 cylinder model truck, and the fuel sending unit, 02 sensors and coolant temperature sensor have all gone bad. I have had to replace other sensors as well. Spent hundreds of dollars trying to fix this truck. Please let Isuzu know that they need to be responsible for their actions, and fix these lemon vehicles. I am a college student and need this vehicle to get from school and back, and I'm not sure how many more fixes I will be able to afford. There are plenty more consumers on forums across the internet complaining of these vehicles, and are generally the same exact problems. Why hasn't anything been done?

The contact owns a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. The contact stated NHTSA campaign id number:10V436000, suspension rear was performed on the vehicle, but the repair did not correct the failure. While driving 55 mph the fuel tank separated from the vehicle; yet, there was no fuel leak. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who inspected the vehicle and stated the fuel tank bracket was corroded. The manufacturer filed report 10277020. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current miles were 144,000.

After only having my Rodeo for a few months my ABS went bad but it was replaced by the dealer under warranty. Then shortly after that the warranty ended and gas gauge would read empty but it was full, next I have to add oil to my car every two to three days because it burns oil really bad no leakage or nothing like that. Now I have started adding anti-freeze the same amount of time. There are major tranmission problems with this car and from reading the internet it's not just my car it's Isuzu.

Low fuel indicator is on constantly. Has gotten worse over time as the gas gauge would work properly for the first 1/2 tank, but below 1/2 tank would simply show empty. Now, after filling up with gas, still shows as empty with low fuel light on.

Fuel level sensor in gas tank failed early in automobile's life. Gas gauge used to read incorrectly, eventually not registering any gasoline at all (always on empty). This has caused automobile's "check engine" light to illuminate, though there is no true issue with the engine. This issue did not lead to any injuries, though could if there was a driver who was unaware of this problem (ie, running out of gas in unpopulated area, etc.). I am aware of a number of people who have complained (online and via phone) about this problem and do not understand why it has not been elevated to recall status as of yet.

At about 55,000 miles the gas gauge stopped functioning properly and accurately. It is completely unreliable, and I have to reset the trip meter each time I fill the vehicle up with gas. I thought it was just a fluke until my wife heard a work colleague on the telephone with Isuzu complaining about the same issue with her Rodeo as well (different model year). Now I see in reviewing this website, that this is more than a coincidence. In addition, the check engine light is constantly on and off on the vehicle. I believe that this is due to the issue with the gas gage as well. According to my mechanic, it costs about $500 to repair this pr problem as the labor involved is quite extensive.

A brake problem that occurs when stepping on the brakes over bumps. The braking distance increases and could cause an accident if following another vehicle closely. And the fuel gauge does not work.

- Wylie, TX, USA

Fuel sending unit failed at 63000 miles. Same description as the many other complaints I.e. empty light starts blinking or stays on when tank is at least 3/4 full and needle will drop to empty after a few miles after fill up. Forced to either use trip odometer to tell when to refill or spend $500+ to repair sending unit and the fuel pump. Very poor that Isuzu won't address the problem. They need to take into consideration the many incidences that do not go reported to the NHTSA as well.

1999 Isuzu Rodeo, ls, V6, 49,570 miles. Fuel tank sensor sending faulty signal to dash board, gas guage. Can have 1/2 tank, but receive flashing indicator of an empty tank. A cold start or a sharp turn causes indicator to drop to E (empty) mark. Relying on tripometer at this time. Research indicates fuel tank must be dropped for repair.

Fuel sending unit failure at 40000 miles on 1999 Isuzu Rodeo

- Columbus, GA, USA

The gas gauge reads the wrong reading. This causes the consumer to think they have a certain amount of gas when they have none. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

- Orlando, FL, USA

99 Isuzu Rodeo with 65000 miles on it. Looks like fuel sending unit is not working properly. Local dealership fully aware of problem, but no recall on it. Estimate $500-600 to repair. Wife with 1 year old in vehicle most of the time. Think manufacturer should replace. Several other friends have had same problem. Called number to Isuzu and had no help whatsoever. Looks like they know of problem too, but won't stand up and do anything about it.

I recently was involved in an accident that I could not avoid. 2 weeks prior to the accident I received a recall in the mail for my ABS module and brake system. Although my ABS light was already on I assumed the recall was why. I took it in, they supposedly fixed it. I guess I was wrong. I drove up and told the gentleman that my ABS light was still on, and I asked why he said that that wasn't part of the recall. My question is how can it not be part of the recall when it's part of the module. So I left it and decided to take it back when I can get the money to cover my co-pay. The I get in the accident, keep in mind that they just fixed my ABS system and brakes. It had rained and I tried to stop to keep from hitting someone. It didn't work, I've had vehicles with ABS before, so I know what they are suppose to do, and that didn't happen. I just slid and I mean slid into this guy. If the Isuzu place where I took my vehicle to get fixed would have been fixed right the first time, I could have avoided this whole situation. But instead I got this whole story about hooking it up to a diagnostic machine &there could have been 30-40 different things wrong with it, and that would cost me $180. But instead I took it for granted that they fixed the recall defect. That's only my first complaint, I have had numerous problems with my gas in this vehicle. I took it in 2-4 times to get it fixed and all they do is a visual inspection, and tell me nothing is wrong. There is when I use 1/4 tank of gas going 12 miles.

Fax copy of email fm jerry bowers (tx) re the defective gas gauge on his 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. When the mileage reached 79,000 miles the gas gauge became inoperative. Consumer is requesting help in correcting the problem.

For the last 2-3 months any time the back of the car is inclined down, the empty fuel tank light activates and the gage moves down to the empty position. Once the car is inclined forward or flat, the light turns off within a few seconds and within 1-3 minutes the gage moves back up. The gage is also slow to respond to filling, and in general not extremely accurate. I called the local dealer/service people, said the gage is acting odd, how much work is involved with troubleshooting the exact problem. They said, we know what it is, it is the sending unit that needs to be replaced. (requiring fuel tank & pump removal, etc...) if this problem is so prevalent that the service desk personnel know immediately what the problem is, obviously this is an extremely common failure and a defective part.

I own an Isuzu Rodeo 1999 the light for the ABS system came on and does not go away plus I noticed somebody also has problems with the gasoline meter it happens that it does not register exactly how much gas in it and the light sometimes stays on plus the last one I have not see is the paint is cracked in the whole body is black.

I was never informed of some recalls on my 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. I am having some of the problems stated in the description of the recalls. My ABS brake light is going on and off and I am having some trouble stopping. My check engine light is coming on and when sitting still the car acts as though it is going to cut off. It is running really hard when I come to a stop. I believe that these have to do with the recall. Another problem that I am having is my gas gauge is not registering how much gas is in the car and the gas light stays on constantly. I know that it is full because the gas pump stops.

- Cincinnati, OH, USA

When I purchased the vehicle, at about 65,000 miles, the gasoline indicator did not work. I had to have the sending unit replaced, at a total cost of over $500. I don't believe this should have happened at this stage in the vehicle's life. I had thought to just use the trip odometer, until I ran out of gas two times - not a good situation for a woman alone.

Gas reader is reading incorrectly.. consumer states dealer told him that this has happened approximately 10 times already, something to do with instruments inside the fuel tank/not the instrument panel gauge. No idea how much gas is in tank now? consumer is concerned about the safety.
