Faults:

When I purchased the car the gas gauge was not registering. took out the fuel tank and removed sending unit. The metal tabs had to be bent back into position because it would not touch sensor unless the tank is full. Now the ABS light is coming on and the brakes are locking up on occasion. other wise I love my rodeo even thou it rides like you are in a rodeo.

Faults:

51000 miles the transmission switch went out. Cost at dealer was 450.00 for repair.

45000, turn signal switch broke. Dealer wanted to replace the switch, at several hundred dollars labor and parts. I repaired it with a .50 cent rivet and about an hour and a half of my time.

General Comments:

Sturdy, with a comfortable ride.

The car's a gas hog at 14 mpg city.

The care is paid for, so I won't sell it. I continue to maintain service at regular intervals, even though the warranties have run out.

Faults:

I had to have the fuel sending unit and ERG sensor replaced at 36K miles.

At 94K, the condensor coil, two A/C hoses, compressor clutch. All under an extended warranty.

I have the same oil burning problem.

General Comments:

My major problem is that I have a leak coming from what appears to be the rear bearing on the transmission. I cannot see it actually leaking, and I have tightened all of the bolts on the lower pan. I hate to take it in without narrowing it down since I do not trust dealerships in general. The can almost always come up with $600-$1000 worth of stuff needing to be done to a vehicle.

Faults:

Too many to list, but here are the main problems: bad fuel tank sending unit, ABS light, check engine light, failed emissions, mysterious thumping noises, noises coming from rear of car, thumping in transmission that mechanic cannot diagnose, terrible gas guzzler.

Down with Isuzu! This is the worst car I have ever owned. I bought it at around 108k miles and within weeks started having problems. The check engine light came on 2 days after I bought it, and it then failed the emissions test due to carbon deposits in the hose connected to the EGR valve. The ABS light is on because wheel sensors are bad; had to replace O2 sensors as well. Gas gauge does not work due too bad fuel tank sending unit, which is almost $500 to fix. No thank you! I just want to get rid of this heap. My sister has the Honda Passport (same car) and has suffered from most of the same problems. My fan pulley bearing system also went out, which was $450 to fix. Honestly, just talking about this car makes me want to either start crying or cussing.

Faults:

The check engine light will not go off. Auto techs all what to replace the same part {egr valve}. It has been replace twice and still the light stays on.

For every one having trouble with the fuel gauge hate to tell you, but the fuel pump is going bad!!

Hi all - we are not alone in the issues with the 99 Rodeo...ABS, Fuel Sensor, Head gasket leaking, ERG valve and burning oil - while I haven't had the issues with the wipers, the fluid doesn'tflow which makes for a problem in the winter on grimy days when the slush is melting. I am angry we all have the same problems. Of course being female, I do not know how or could handle the repairs - so I have to rely on a mechanic, who wants to replace the whole fuel part, not just the sensor - parts and labor - 585.85. The ERG valve parts and labor: 323.15. The ABS issue, the wires are corroded so they need to be replaced $97.94 plus the $97.94 for them even looking at it. They forgot to check on the washer fluid pump/motor thing. I have no idea if I am getting ripped off!
