Re: 2001 Isuzu Rodeo ls rusted frame to trail arm bracket can cause frame to snap at rear of vehicle causing possible loss of control if traveling highway speeds at 55-65 mph. This SUV is worthless on the market. Isuzu should be held full accountability. Also the SUV has had defective fuel gauge due to defective descending unit in gas tank which no recall was never made. Yet 1 out of every 7-8 Isuzu have this problem.

I have had many problems with this car. 1. servo valve 12/2005, 2. door lock, 2005, check engine light, gas meter problems, replace gas tank 1/2008, 3. replace alternator 9/2008, now my transmission is not working nor is my egr and evap sensor. I only have 58,000 miles on this car. Also one of the oem brake pads fall out of the holding bracket and got stuck between the caliper and the rotor. Nothing but problems with this SUV.

Feedback of owner 2001 Rodeo (Isuzu 6-cd changer stereo/fm/cassette) hello, I am an owner of a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo ls, I always liked Isuzu before buying brand new, but I'm very unhappy with "the little things" alot. Isuzu 6 -cd changer is deplorable; I've had it already replaced.(fortunate once under warranty) this month 2005 the 6-cd changer just "died" again and all of my new 6 cds that I've purchased are stuck and damaged, with no emergency way to extract it. Customer told order would be over $400 dollars to fix. I dont even want another Isuzu 6-cd changer(3 times broken). My car faults were not fault of route 1/open road Isuzu nor South NJ eaton buehler/Isuzu service management. Their dealers worked pretty hard & were good. This cd/changed design flaw issue is Isuzu issue. Isuzu should have recalled item there's numerous user complaints of 6-cd stereo Isuzu radio on internet. Got several other fail items, but why ? bring them up to american Isuzu. Letter is to inform I will strongly considering selling my Isuzu Rodeo. I will inform all my peers, family and business folks never ever to purchase a "new" Isuzu Rodeo. I may create newsletter details story for distribution on web about 2001 Isuzu Rodeo failures, in poor design. I will inform folks loud and clear to any customers seeking Isuzu vehicles. I lost 6 new cds in the cd-changer damaged for a 3rd time. I am tired of losing cds within a defective product Isuzu does not stand by. Will spend our money elsewhere & encourage others to do same. Sorry, just the way I feel, apologies. The service assistance for mechanical items are great and complaint is against of 2001 Isuzu Rodeo flawed items. Thank you...
