1999 Isuzu Rodeo LS from North America - Comments

At 50,000 miles the engine light came on. Took it to the dealer we purchased it from and they flushed the motor and reset the senor light. At 55,000 miles the gas gauge started showing empty at 3/4 of a tank of gas. We just watch the miles now.

I wish they would recall the gas gauge since that is a very common problem.

I wouldn't trade my rodeo in on anything else. I'm very happy with it.

If you find a SUV that is without problem let me know. I have had less problems with this car than I have with any other small SUV.

I have an 1999 Isuzu Rodeo LS Rodaro package, pretty expensive vehicle. I had no problems with it other than the few recalls, approximately 3, during the time I was paying on it. I paid it off in February, 2005. Since then, it has been one problem after another. First, the windshield wipers wouldn't work on the hesitate, although the other speeds work fine. Then, the fuel sending unit went bad and I now rely on mileage to know when to refuel. Third, the relays on the driver side master controller started going bad, and now I cannot roll down the driver window, or roll up the rear window on the driver side. Most recently, the transmission started acting funny changing from second to third, it is an automatic, but it shifts up to second smoothly and then is very rough from second to third, but smooth again from third to high gear. The 2nd to 3rd gear sounds like the transmission is about to fall out on the ground. I love the look of my Rodeo and have always been proud to own it, but this has been very discouraging since I had only had one month of no payments until everything started going wrong. If anyone knows of a recall I may have missed that covered any of these things, or any general helpful input, please post your comment so that myself and others with these same issues may learn from your expertise or misfortune (I hope it isn't the latter, for your sake). I thank you for any help.
