2000 Isuzu Rodeo: check engine light

Filed Dec 20, 2013 · Body, Suspension · MA

Live in massachusetts - have brackets from previous recall attached. Underneath vehicle is rapidly rotting - noticed rot beneath mounting brackets, and along frame behind tires around wheel wells. Rust everywhere and fear that the car is not safe to operate, vehicle is only 13 years old and rapid frame rust should not be occurring. Other problems - gas gauge not operating causing check engine light to come on whenever a turn is made. Cannot remove gas tank to fix issue as rust is too extensive.

I purchased an isuzu rodeo, 2000 ls 3.2l v6. The gas gauge has been showing empty since I purchased it. The check engine light comes on as well. I went through hundreds of complaints on the internet with the same problem. Isuzu should pay for it!

Dt*: the contact stated when the vehicle would not start the battery was replaced. The battery looked swollen. While driving 45 MPH, the check engine light and the ABS warning light illuminated and the digital displays began flashing on the instrument panel, and the engine power slowed to 30 MPH and below. After reaching the driveway, the vehicle stalled and could not be restarted. After towing the vehicle to the service dealer, an inspection identified the equipment failure to be the alternator and the wiring harness. The manufacturer was notified.

The gas gauge is faulty. I have heard of many complaints and that when there are hard shifts (turns) or press harder on the acceleration causes the gas gauge to work incorrectly and the gas light comes on. This is happening to my car currently. Furthermore, after the light comes on the check engine light comes on.

While traveling 70 MPH on the interstate I began hearing a knocking sound but did not loose power. I pulled over at next exit and as I pulled over the oil light came on. I checked the oil and it had none I recently had the oil changed. I have heard of multiple complaints of this and I will probably have to buy a new engine. I've also had transmission problems, the check engine light comes on, and I recently had the fuel gauge fixed, in all, I'd say the isuzu rodeo has given me many problems. Thank you isuzu manufacturers for the constant problems I have to face with this rodeo.

I have had to repeatedly put oil in my 2000 isuzu rodeo. There is no engine leaks. Yet, it burns oil. The engine light only comes on when the engine is bone dry. In reading online forums, I was directed to place a complaint with this organization and also found out that I am not the only one with this problem but isuzu is aware of this situation and does nothing to take of care of it or their customers!

(1) normal fueling and driving (2) fuel level indicator fails to report accurately, fuel lamp fails and lights prematurely; check engine lamp fails and also lights and seems to be triggered by the inaccurate low fuel level events; owner is annoyed at prematurely filling gas tank and would like manufacturer/dealer to resolve these problems. Problem persists despite following dealer recommendations (3) dealership advised that 'check engine' lamp actually refers to the gas cap, dealer recommended tightening gas cap to resolve check engine lamp issue. Refilling gas tank and driving a few miles resolved premature fuel lamp issue, but only temporarily. These issues reoccur within driving 50 miles of a full tank. Check engine lamp issue persists. Premature low fuel lamp issue persists. Underestimated fuel level indicator issue persists.

The fuel gauge is not working. I know 2 other people with a rodeo and they have the same problem,and I see on this website that there are many others with the same problem. The check engine light comes on when the gas tank is 3/4 full sometimes. I never know how much gas I have. Mechanc says the sensor is defective and I feel isuzu should fix this. This is not a normal matienance issue. It is a manufactures defect.

2000 isuzu rodeo lse - fuel tank sending unit is faulty. It blinks when the tank was recently filled and the check engine light goes on for no apparent reason. If the fuel tank sending unit does not get recalled, a class lawsuit may be filed. Numerous complaints about this problem.

Fuel gauge inaccurate - light is on all the time - caused check engine light to come on and cant get vehicle inspected.was quoted $280 to fix by dealership. Local foreign auto parts store manager informed me that he sells these fuel sensors as quickly as they come in - doesnt know why isuzu doesnt issue a recall.
