I would like to place my complaint on the Isuzu company. I have (had) a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo LX with 78,000 miles on it. I have had it serviced regularly oil changes etc.ever since I hit 40,000 miles my check engine light has came on and will not go off, my gas gauge went out saying I am always on empty (500.00 to fix) and now at only 78,000 miles my engine has blown!!!!! $4,500 worth of damage. My story has a lot more to it but I cannot write it all. I toke it in several times to the Isuzu service center in austell Georgia to eddie and told them something was wrong with the truck. It had a gas smell to it the check engine light was on and it was running sluggish. Mind you I was still under warranty. Each time they found nothing wrong until after my warranty was up!!!!!!! I have been doing research on this vehicle and have found that 100's of people have had the same problem. I want ot file a class action lawsuit recommend to me by my lawyer.

The catalic converter, upstream value, erg value and a gasket was completely burn out by one of the other componets. My check engine light fail to appear. The only notice that I had was the jerking of the car and at this time I was not getting any pull from the engine. The fastest that I could go was only 30 mph. I assume that I had gotten some bad gas. My car just died on me while trying to make it to the auto shop, and again the check engine light did not appear.

Intermittent stalling problem/unsteady idle experienced over the last year and a half. Occurs in traffic when coming to a stop and when making turns. Have had a couple of close calls; tends to get your full attention. 3 visits to dealer and factory involvement have not solved problem.

While driving the engine started to shake, the whole vehicle violently started to shake, engine check light and brake light came on, and the vehicle cut off. 45 days later, I received my vehicle back from the dealer in operational condition. Since then it has cut off and died, or just didn't startup 5 more times, all of which resulted in tow service to the dealer.

I have had this truck for just over a year now. I have had issues from day one. There has been a constant shimmy in the front end. Tires balanced, rebalanced and balanced again. This did not solve the problem. The tire manufacture recommends 30 psi in the tires. The Isuzu people ask for 26 psi...at this pressure the vibration get worse...the tires squeal and the truck feels out of control if on a rough road. The truck is under sprung and if the tires are inflated to 30 psi is is almost undrivable. Makes me think of the Ford/Firestone issue. Might be a problem. The tires wear too quickly...balanced, aligned no help. Dealer tells me this is how the truck is. The other major issue is the oil use...this truck will use, lose somewhere, 1 qt per 500 miles or so. Dealer tells me to check the oil level at every fuel-up....I feel this is bull. Purchased a new truck so I would do regular scheduled maintence. My biggest concern is the tires and lack of control. I can get nowhere to solve my problems with Isuzu. (tiresize: 235-75-R15)( dot number: Tire size: 235-75-R15 )

After 5 months, 7,500 miles, while driving on interstate, engine began tapping and resulted in severe engine damage. Dealer has Rodeo, but cannot locate engine. We are afraid that vehicle will lose market value because of engine replacement in early years of ownership.

Engine --while driving (usually at speeds between 25 and 40 mph) and usually while turning the vehicle either right or left the engine will completly shut itself off. The warning lights kick on and the engine kicks off. On occasion, while parked or going into reverse the engine will do the exact same thing. I have noticed that while parked the RPM's seem to increase greatly before the vehicle shuts down. I have had the car repeatedly at the dealership however, they claim they can not fix the problem because they can't duplicate the problem while driving it. The problems seem to be random and do not always reoccur given the exact same conditions. It did happen yesterday and almost caused a major accident! an additional problem (not as severe) is that when at a stoplight the vehicle has a tendency to lunge forward a bit. (even though my foot is on the brake) it seems to me that both problems may be related (I.e. a fuel pump problem ?) however, I am currently driving a vehicle they claim they can't fix and I now consider extremely dangerous to drive. (to the point that it puts me in life threating situations if it dies while in another major intersection)
