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 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 30 of 30, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fuel gauge jumps from full to empty and check engine light flashes. Dealership stated this was a commom problem for 1998 to 2000 isuzu's. Gas tankl must be removed and sensor replaced.
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. For more complaints regarding this matter: http://www.automotiveforums.com/t193601.html.
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.
Gas gauge reads all over the place, empty when full, etc.
The "check engine" light and "fuel" light blinks almost continuously as a result of incorrect information being sent by the fuel sensor/sending unit. The lights will come on even when the tank is full! Also, with less than 60,000 miles on an engine warranted to 125,000, I am burning oil at the rate of 1 quart every 2,000 miles. I have not taken it to a dealer since the reports I have read say that the delaerships simply say "that is normal." I have owned cars as long as 150,000 miles, and I certainly don't think this oil consumption is "normal"!!
I bought this car used with 50128 miles in april 3, 2004. On, july 12, 2004 around 55000 miles. I stopped and let the car running for 3 mins. I came back and the fuel sensor low light was flashing and the car said I was empty, but I knew I wasn't because I just filled the tank up that day. I started going and the fuel sensor said I had all my gas back. After that, everyday, the sensor will say low fuel after the sensor has passed 3/4 of a tank. On, july 15, when the fuel light comes on for sometime the check engine light will come on and stay on until I fill the gas tank up and drive for several miles. I am going to take it to my mechanic and maybe the dealership where I bought the car to solve this problem.
The electronic sending unit is causing the check engine light to remain on. The gas gauge has never been accurate but now it shows that it is empty when there are over 10 gallons in the tank. I have to remember to watch the mileage and always fill up.
Bad fuel sending unit! Hundreds of people have defective fuel sending units on their 1998-2000 isuzu rodeos! The company should be forced to fix this free with a recall! I shouldn't have to pay $250 to fix a problem on my 2000 rodeo that they knew about for 2 years before my car was built. The gas gauge shows empty when the tank is 1/4 tank, and the check engine light comes on.
Vehicle sporadicly stalls when slowing to stop or when already stopped. The vehicle "bucks" when accelerating from stopped position. All dash lights come on when the vehicle stalls. After a few minutes of rest, vehicle will start and dash lights turn off. Nothing will register in the computer system. Throttle body has been cleaned, fuel filter has been changed. Mechanic cannot duplicate problem. All signs point to bad intake manifold gasket but mechanic refuses to replace even at owners request. This problem has happened 7 times in the 3 months I have owned it.
The fuel gauge does not work and results in the check engine light remaining on. It is difficult to know how much gas is in the tank (must track miles). But, more importantly, the 'check engine' light may be masking a real problem that I am not aware off.
The fuel guage does not always register the correct fuel level. It seldoms registers a full tank after filling. The quage will drop to the 1/4 tank or below level, the low fuel and service engine lites will come on. This may persist for several days or reset several times a day.
2000 isuzu rodeo gas gauge constantly stays on empty even after filling up. Check engine light is also on constantly.
The fuel gauge did not work. *jb the check engine light remained on. The consumer didn't know how much fuel was in the tank or if there were problems with the engine. *scc
Intermittently the vehicle would not start properly and the consumer had to crank the vehicle several time before starting. The check engine light and the fuel light would illuminate after the vehicle was started and stay on momentary before it went out. Dealer was not notified at this time.
Fuel gauge does not function, causing check engine light to stay on.
Lost control of vehicle which resulted in a front end collision. My speed was about 45 MPH at time of impact. Vehicle ignited instantly. The flames were coming from under the hood, closest to the windshield on the passenger side. Was prompted by a relative to file a complaint. I was told that the vehicle should not have burned and should have had a cut-off for fuel line. The vehicle was totally consumed and exploded within what seemed like 5-15 min. (wasn't really looking at my watch, to busy running away from car!) had no major problems with car up until then other than the check engine light coming on periodically, which dealer had no explanation for. *trp
The gas gauge was not working correctly. The gas light indicated the tank was empty after fueling. Vehicle failed md. Inspection to due the failed unit. Consumer was informed the defective componet was no longer under warranty.
The gas gauge read incorrectly. *jb....
Fuel leaked while vehicle was running under the engine compartment. The dealership determined that the fuel return hose failed. A cause could not be determined at the time of repair. It was subsequently repaired. Dt
