We have a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo my daughter was driving at about 25 mph during the rain when she gently applied the brakes, she heard a noise the Rodeo began sliding causing an impact which resulted in an accident. Various other times we would be driving and especially during wet road conditions the brakes made a noise causing the tires to rotate prematurely in an uncontrollable sliding motion.in 2011 we took our Rodeo in on recall no. 10V-436, (excessive corrosion may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame, which can affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash.) the dealership performed the inspection which was determined that the recall should not be performed. Due to excessive corrosion the reinforcement bracket remedy would not be appropriate. In order to perform this recall the body is detached from the frame and if corrosion is present on the frame this recall would only cause further damages weakening the frame making it unsafe to operate the vehicle. The frames should be recalled also! the frames also have excessive corrosion and also once a frame is compromised it's weakened! by doing this recall it diminshes the integrity of the frame anyway. Therefore, this recall is not a resolution to the problems it's a bigger safety issue and puts many consumers at risk! as for Isuzu providing the consumers with an appropriate remedy... this is not happening!

Frame, right and left lower control arms rusted through in many places. Also exhaust leaking in many places due to rust. Will not pass yearly inspection. Can no longer drive vehicle due to safety issues as well as failure to pass inspection.

Vehicle inspected by grand Buick today, 11/30/2011, and found frame rusted beyond repair. Grand Buick notified Isuzu of condition and they would not release the vehicle back to me.

The recall for the forward mounting bracket for the left and rear suspension does not include a rental car for the duration of the repair. I have to work and do not feel I should have to pay for a rental car for a recall problem. I've been told it will take at least 3 days or they will keep the car permanently if it is too bad to repair. I would be left without a vehicle to get to work or to look for a vehicle if they should keep it. I feel a rental car should be provided for a reasonable amount of time also if they should keep the vehicle.

I purchased this vehicle in October of 2010. The vehicle is currently financed at my bank. I took it to francis scott key in fredrick Maryland for the recall of the forwarding mounting point bracket of the left and right rear suspension lower link for corrosion of this. On the 19th of August, 2011 I took it to have the safety recall done @ francis scott key told me they only done what the recall was for, exposure of highly corrosive material that is used in some jurisdictions for deicing prupose which affected the frowarding mounting point bracket for the left or right rear suspension lower link prior to the time that such corrosion would normally be expected. My vehicle has bad corrosion and rust on the front of the suspension and I know of others who have the same model and year of mine and have had the same trouble. I am like totaly confused as this should be taken care of also because I am believing this shouldnt be in this condition as this shouldnt have normally been in this condition for this year of car. I am taking care of this form due to the shape that the front of the vehicle is in, it is really bad up there. Have you had any other reports of this? I considered getting another vehicle but can not afford to do this as this vehicle is financed.I feel Isuzu shoud be recalling this vehicle as they done the in the rear suspension and should be also taking care of the front also as this is very serious to the safety of me and others riding in my vehicle and also other drivers. I am surprised that Isuzu hasnt done a recall for this problem as it is a really bad safety situation... I feel this matter needs direct attention if possible. Thanks so very much for your time.

The contact owns a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph he heard a loud noise. While examining the vehicle, the contact noticed that the crossmember was snapped in half. Various other structural components that held the fuel tank in place were also damaged. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer, who stated that they would repair the vehicle under the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 10V436000 (suspension: Rear). They did not offer to repair the additional components because they were not covered under the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that they would only authorize repairs on the failures covered under the recall. The additional components were not repaired. The failure mileage was 110,000.

Like many other Isuzu Rodeo owners mine is rusting prematurely underneath. I took it to the shop for the recall on the frame. The shop installed the recall rear brackets and told me the vehicle was still unsafe as much of the rest of the frame and under carriage of the vehicle was rotting out. Is someone going to have to be seriously hurt in an accident before Isuzu is forced to address this problem?

Fuel sending unit/gas gauge light flashing empty when car is full of gas. ABS light never goes out...had recall repaired dash lights..car is in park but light on dash is in (N)..light on gear shift is dead rear winshield wiper just stopped working rubber seal around rear hatchback window dry rotted causing window to shatter and break while car was sitting in driveway. This is dangerous. Car sliding through stop light when applying brakes to stop or when sitting still car will idle and cause car to move while foot is on brakes. Humming/rattling sound coming from undercarriage of these complaints are posted on several complaint websites and they all pertain to my 1999 Rodeo as well as thousands of others. My Rodeo was purchased in 2003 and I was not aware of any recalls except for the ABS one and I learned about that from a relative who has the same vehicle. If something breaks down or stops working on hers I can expect it to occur with mine or visa versa. Something needs to be done..I will never recommend anyone to purchase an isizu Rodeo if my life depended on it. Everytime I take it to a mechanic there is a Rodeo in the garage waiting to be worked on. The mechanic shakes his head..

I purchased a new 1999 Rodeo which currently has approx. 50,745 miles. 2nd day of owning the vehicle, check engine light stayed on, took it to the dealership which "fixed" the problem; driving out of the lot for the second time, light came back on, took the dealership 1 week to try and figure out what was wrong with the car. Fortunately, that problem was corrected. Now, the fuel gauge indicator light continuously flashes or stays on when tank is full, making it very difficult to know how much gas is really in the tank. Not to mention the anxiety trying to remember when I last filled the tank and how much fuel it took.car vibrates at speeds higher than 55mph steering wheel just shakes. Problem with the anti lock braking system. While driving over wet surfaces or bumps, anti lock brakes seem to slide causing vehicle to continue to move after brake has been applied. Timing belt was cracked and had to be replaced without ever receiving any notification from Isuzu therefore, I had to absorb the cost of replacing a defective item originally installed by the manufacturer. Hoping Isuzu will reimburse. I have not received any recall notices since I purchased the vehicle in 1999.

Continuous vibrations in suspension. When stopping vehicle it will move forward. Also, when applying gas pedal, vehicle slips before going into gear. Contacted dealer, and dealer couldn't find anything wrong.

Since day one we have had a problem with the steering shaking at 55mph and higher, after 48000 miles we decided to change the tires and see if that would fix our problem, guess what, didn't even change a thing, we are so upset at the fact that while driving our truck which we are leasing and thought of buying after we had finished the lease feels so unsafe that after the lease is over this will be the last Isuzu we ever buy!!! along with the tire issue we have complained about an engine rattling noise when accelerating on hills and the dealer we took it to suggested we change fuel types and grades, the owners manual suggest the grade we had been using?? so why change, well we tried that too...you can guess didn't change a thing, still rattles!!!!!!!!we have had many other things go wrong with this truck since we bought it and have never had this many problems with a veh other than this Isuzu..the latest thing we have been having trouble with is a thunk noise coming from the rear of the truck when letting off the brakes at a stop light and starting to pull away....thunk!! you hear it and feel the truck jolt!!...we had the rear axle fluid changed and transmission fluid aswell...ha ha...guess again...still there...our next option to the Isuzu Rodeo nightmare is to just park this thing and wait till the lease is up and let everyone we know and they know never to buy an Isuzu Rodeo unless the have money to throw again....next time we'll look at an american made car!!!

The vehicle is experiencing what I consider to be excessive bounce when loaded with 4 passengers, leading to a possible control problem. Usually it is only just me or two passengers in the car, and I noticed the problem for the first time when I had 4 passengers (no other luggage or items in car) on normal roads and on the highway. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer twice, and they have performed a complete inspection of the suspension, shocks, etc., and can find no problems. It appears to be either a design issue or possibly a problem with insufficient suspension for the vehicle. I had a 1994 Rodeo and did not experience a similar problem, so there may have been a design or component change which has changed the ride.

While driving at highway speed 55+, the vehicle experiences vibration, dealer found collapsed body mounts and after replacement problem with vibration still continues.
