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?

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..

There was a few incidents. One day my two sisters where riding down the highway and out of no where my trunk window completely busted out. My sisters were terrified and luckily a cop pulled up. He told them that it look like someone had put tint over the heating wires that they use to defrost. Being that I had bought it from a dealership they LED me to believe that my tint was manufactured. I feel that I was ripped off from the company because they over charged me as well. When I bought my 99' isuzu rodeo it was for 21,995 when they finish my paper work I thought nothing about what they added on to my bill. Years had went by and I decided to trade my vehicle in for a new model. Some friendly salesmen from a isuzu dealership found out that I had been ripped off by the previous place that I purchased my vehicle from. I found out that they had charged me in all $34,00. On my receipt it said that I suppose to had, insurance and a whole lot of other things that I didn't even know about. I just felt so bad because I felt like they had took advantage of me because I was a woman. Other things that I had to go through with my vehicle was paying constantly for it to get fixed. My axles and a whole lot of stuff. I received a recall in the mail saying recalling all 99' isuzu rodeo's and I also heard it on the news. But as much as I tried to get in touch with someone I never was able too. I really like how rodeos ride, how they look, I just like it all together. But what I had to go through these past 5 years have been terrifying.
