TL- the contact owns a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled and the key failed to turn in the ignition sporadically. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the starter was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. In addition, the contact mentioned that the suspension was causing the vehicle to sway intermittently. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in recall NHTSA campaign id number: 10V436000 (suspension). The approximate failure mileage was 130,000. Pam

I have a 99 Rodeo ls w/63K on it. Fuel gauge goes wacky when I fill it up and sometimes when ever it feels like it. I have to use the trip meter to gauge how much fuel I have left. The gauge usually starts to work again when I have 3/4 tank left.starting may take several times. I turn the key and hear a click then nothing. I usually have to press on the brakes or shift into drive and then back into park and it may start. Wiper blades stop in mid windshield when using the intermittent setting. I have printed the other complaints and found them useful. I will bring them to my dealer and complain to get them fixed.

Rodeo has 60,000 miles, at about 40,000 gas gauge quit working. At 30,000 ABS unit had to be replaced now ABS light is on all the time. Also, the key has to be turned over several times before starting. Clicking noise is all you get otherwise. Dealer says all repairs are our responsibility and very costly.
