Was trying to get car through inspection but couldn't get the check engine light and fuel light off. I explained to my mechanic and he said you need a new fuel pump. I made an appointment and when he put the car on the lift he said the frame is totally rusted out and the car should not be on the road. I then called isuzu and they told me there was a recall on it. They gave me the name of a dealer near me they said the car can not be fixed. They said if the car is hit from behind it would just fold or the suspension will just give out and you will not be able to control the car. Its been two weeks and I'm getting the run around from the dealer and isuzu. I am now out of a car. If the gas gauge didn't break I would not have even known about this and could have killed someone on the road. Isuzu should be standing behind these cars!!!!

Hi, I own an isuzu rodeo s v6 (year 1996) and after having some problems with the fuel pump my mechanic alerted me about an advanced rusting deterioration on the structural frame of the car. Not only the body of the car is rusted but the fuel line pipes as well. The break fluid pipe broke two years ago due to rusting but fortunately I was able to stop the car by reducing gears. The rest of the car is in great condition (mechanically, electrically, etc) and it is a shame that in vital parts of the car isuzu used cheap/non-resistant material.

Frame rusting away from underneath our 1997 isuzu rodeo. Filed a complaint over a year ago with the federal safety agency including pictures, pieces of the metal from the frame and documents to be included for the recall on rodeo's and passports. (my odi #10299607) as you will see the informationwas taken down incorrectly an states a fuel pump problem. That is how we found out the frame was bad is when we took it in for repair. There are many isuzu and passport owners who have this problem and they are unsafe to drive because the frames are rotting out and cause components to let go from the frame which could cause and accident. There has been a recall to try to fix the lower brackets but most are not fixable because the frames are so gone. We were not included in this recall because isuzu at their discretion only choose a five year period from 1998-2002. We should be included as well as others because they are just trying to limit their exposure and keep cost down while in the meantime someone could get hurt. The recall should go back to the manufacturer of the frames which someone on the blog found out it has been determine to be the dana corp. Who also made the bad frame on toyota ticumsa. The recall need to be from manufacture date of the frames made for all isuzu and passports. This recall is not being handle correctly and someone is going to be in a serious accident.

We purchased a 2001 isuzu rodeo used from a dealer in 2002. The fuel gage started falling to empty triggering the gas light to come on along with the cel, since it wasn't a major problem we have not had it repaired since being quoted over $500 to replace the whole fuel pump because of a faulty fuel sensor unit. There are hundreds of complaints regarding this same issue and isuzu is not picking up the responsibility of replacing this. Now because we can't pass emissions with the cel on we are forced to have this repaired.
