Fuel sending unit/gas gauge light flashing empty when car is full of gas. Abs light never goes out ...had recall repaired dash lights..car is in park but light on dash is in (n)..light on gear shift is dead rear winshield wiper just stopped working rubber seal around rear hatchback window dry rotted causing window to shatter and break while car was sitting in driveway. This is dangerous. Car sliding through stop light when applying brakes to stop or when sitting still car will idle and cause car to move while foot is on brakes. Humming/rattling sound coming from undercarriage of these complaints are posted on several complaint websites and they all pertain to my 1999 rodeo as well as thousands of others. My rodeo was purchased in 2003 and I was not aware of any recalls except for the ABS one and I learned about that from a relative who has the same vehicle. If something breaks down or stops working on hers I can expect it to occur with mine or visa versa. Something needs to be done..I will never recommend anyone to purchase an isizu rodeo if my life depended on it. Everytime I take it to a mechanic there is a rodeo in the garage waiting to be worked on. The mechanic shakes his head..
1999 Isuzu Rodeo brakes complaints
Page 2 of 8: complaints 11 to 40 of 214, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl*the contact owns a 1999 isuzu rodeo. The contact stated that the ABS light frequently illuminates and the vehicle has a delay in stopping distance. The dealer was notified. The sensors have been changed, but the vehicle continues to experience the delay in stopping distance. The vehicle is a part of recall # 02i00200 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock). Isuzu stated that the recall repair was previously performed on the vehicle. However, the contact stated that she owned the vehicle at the time and did not take it anywhere to have the recall work done. The engine size was unknown. The current mileage is 92,000 and failure mileage was 66,000.
The antilock brake system indication light illuminated and anti-lock brakes do not function. Check the message boards on the internet and you will see alot of these problems with the same make and model vehicle. Also the egr valve problem where the vehicle clogs with carbon build up causing the check engine light to illuminate intermittenly and the vehicle stalls out. The problems happen to enough of the same make and model vehicles that there should be a recall.
1) ABS indicator light illuminated 2) non-working ABS system 3) taken to dealer where sw upgrade performed. Dealer indicated that service was fully performed based on sw upgrade. Dealer stated there was an additional failure due to cable chafing and that cable assembly would need to be replaced to restore ABS operation.
Abs instrument warning light is lit and the ABS system is not working. No pulsing during braking action and I believe that the vehicle is not stopping as quickly or with the same ability to control the vehicle that I had when the ABS system was working. Soft pedal has been encountered twice but not at any other time. There was a dot recall that I had the isuzu dealer correct on 5-5-2003. They corrected the problem under the ABS recall, campaign number 021002000 dated 2002-jun-03 with 47228 miles on the odometer. The problem seems to have returned, but braking is sporadic and intermittent. The warning light will occasionally go out but comes back on while driving. I have had the brakes inspected, all four brakes replaced, and new brake fluid installed all within the last two weeks. Nothing has changed with the vehicles braking behavior or the warning light being lit. I have contacted american isuzu motors inc. By phone on 6-27-06 and was told that they do not have any responsibility for the ABS problem since they did address and correct the problem on this vehicle on 5-5-2003. I think that the ABS problem is still an isuzu ongoing problem especially after reading about this problem from other owners in various internet chat rooms as well as my own experience while driving the vehicle.
On dry sandy road, or slightly sloped road vehicle's ABS system turns on executing rapid pulses fast enough to not be effective causing extremely bad stopping distance. Car slows down very slowly. To correct the failure operator eliminated the ABS fuse to disable ABS. Brakes work fine now.
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.
Dt*: the contact stated while stopped at a stop light, with the brake pedal depressed. The vehicle suddenly lunged forward and struck the vehicle in front.

The contact attempted multiple times to set up an appointment with the dealership without success.

On march 23, 2006 an accident occurred as a result of the antilock brakes. While driving around a curve on slick road conditions the ABS engaged causing the vehicle to hydroplane and hit a guardrail. No injuries were sustained as a result of the accident. The police were notified. The vehicle was driven away from the accident.

I was involved in a rear end collision where I was at fault due to the brakes malfunctioning in my 1999 isuzu rodeo. The roads were wet and I encountered problems with the braking system, causing me to hit the van in front of me. I have since received a recall notice for this exact problem. I was forced to pay a $500 deductible when this was a known defect to the isuzu rodeo's. What can I do to recoup the out of pocket expense for this accident?
Dt: the contact s owns a 1999 isuzu rodeo. He received a recall on 10-14-05 regarding the brakes on the vehicle. The contact has not taken the car ito dealer to have the recall repair work done. The contact's vehicle was involved in an accident one year ago. A child ran o in front of vehicle, he swerved to miss the child, hit the brak they did not work, and the vehicle hit a telephone pole. A police report was taken. He felt that the accident caused other damage to the car, such as transmission slipping. He noticed the transmission slipping about five months ago. Had to do a lot of repair work to the front end of the vehicle about five months ago air bags deployed ,and he has not had them installed again.
As I was attempting to merge onto a highway exit ramp, I applied the brakes with what was typical force for such conditions. The road was wet and as I was braking, the vehicle went over an expansion joint in the overpass of the road. The brake pedal went to the floor, the wheels locked up, and the vehicle skidded, using excessive braking distance, thus resulting in a low-speed rear-end accident with the vehicle in front of me. Little damage was done to the other vehicle; however, the front bumper of my vehicle, a 1999 isuzu rodeo was pushed back. I now find out that isuzu has issued a safety recall for the ABS, which is responsible for this accident and the resulting damage to my vehicle. The damage has never been repaired. I would like isuzu, as a part of its recall campaign to repair the damage to the front bumper, free of charge.
I had an ABS service repair by a dealer done on 12-10-2002 on my 1999 isuzu rodeo vehicle and the part that was replaced was a modulator for the ABS sensor. Last monday, 04-18-05, there was a recall that another dealer advised me to be serviced on the same nature of problem. Afterwards, I've called the isuzu manufacturer's office and told them about my problem and I've pleaded if they can reimburse me on the first service repair that was done on my ABS. They turned me down. I wish to bring them to the court but I was adviced if I can ask your good office to please investigate if my claims can be validated by yours. Thanks.
Recall 021-002 was done on the truck but the ABS light continued to illuminate (isuzu rodeo). *bf while driving the fuel pump failed/sender assembly failed and caused the vehicle to shut off.
On numerous occasions for the past 2 years, when the brake pedal is pressed, it goes all the way down to the floor and does not slow the vehicle down. Brake pedal must be pumped in order to slow the vehicle. There have been several near misses of rear-ending another vehicle. To date, the brake lines have been bled, master cylinder has been replaced, rotors and drums have been replaced, and manufacturer's ABS module recall has been completed. None of these services have helped. The car is currently at the car dealership for the same problem. The dealership has indicated that they do not know what is wrong with it, but is continuing to investigate. The vehicle has been parked more than it has been driven over the past year for fear of an accident waiting to happen.
