I OWN A 2001 ISUZU RODEO. I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. DEALER SENT US TO HIS MECHANIC WHO FIXED IT. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, HE FIXED AGAIN MANY TIMES. EVENTUALLY HE SAID THERE WAS PROBABLY A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT, SO I DIDN'T. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A YEAR LATER AND I HAD IT ADDRESSES WHEN I HAD MY BRAKES CHECKED. THE GUY THAT DID MY BRAKES TOLD ME I COULD HAVE IT FIXED OR JUST IGNORE IT, THAT IT WAS NOT IMPORTANT. THE NEXT THING THAT WENT OUT WAS MY AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING SYSTEM. I ENDED UP PAYING 1300 TO GET FIXED IN THE SUMMER OF 2014. THE NEXT THING WAS THE REAR WIPER STOPPED WORKING. I STILL HAVE NOT REPLACED THAT. SHORTLY AFTER THE WIPER STOPPED WORKING I NOTICED THE CRUISE CONTROL & THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE ON, I NO LONGER DRIVE AT NIGHT. LAST YEAR THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, I HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH MY MILEAGE TO FIGURE OUT IF I NEED TO FILL UP. JUST RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE STARTING TO STALL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 70. I HAD MY HEATER, RADIO AND WIPERS ON FOR THE RAIN. I DECIDED TO TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE IT WAS STARTING TO GET A LITTLE DARK AND JUST WHEN I TURNED THEM ON THE DASH LIGHTS FADED AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER. I QUICKLY TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND THE CAR WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THIS WAS VERY SCARY, I WAS AFRAID TO TURN MY LIGHTS BACK ON. ONCE I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAS GOING INTO THE MOUNTAINS, THE FOG WAS TO DENSE TO IGNORE THE LIGHTS. I TURNED THEM ON THIS TIME WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I KNOW I DID NOT HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS, THANKFULLY I WAS MORE OR LESS ON THE ROAD ALONE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS CAR I SEE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I THINK WE SHOULD START A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. *TR

MY 2001 ISUZU RODEO THAT I HAVE HAD FOR 9 YEARS HAS NEVER REALLY GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS YEAR. THIS EXACT INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NOW. I WILL BE DRIVING, THE SPEED DOES NOT MATTER, SOMETIMES IT IS 30, 50, OR 80 MPH, AND THE CAR WILL JUST START LOSING POWER. FIRST THE DASH AND ALL MY GAUGES WILL GO OUT, THEN THE MOTOR WILL START TO SOUND FUNNY AND START LOSING POWER. THEN AS I MAKE IT TO THE SIDE (THANKFULLY EVERY TIME) IT JUST STOPS RUNNING AND EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF. I TRY TO RE-CRANK IT AND IT WON'T TURN OVER. I WILL TURN MY FLASHERS ON AND EVEN THEN THEY RUN AT AN EXTREMELY REDUCED RATE AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED MY BATTERY, THE WIRING TO MY ALTERNATOR, MY ALTERNATOR, AND MY EGR VALVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO FIX AND I NEED THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED SO I'M NOT SPENDING MONEY FIXING THINGS I DON'T NEED AND SPEND MONEY ON THE ACTUAL ISSUE GETTING FIXED. *TR

VARIOUS PROBLEMS WITH 2001 ISUZU RODEO. *MR THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THEY WOULD SLIDE, THEN STOP. TWO SMALL CHILDREN WOULD BE WITH THE CONSUMER WHEN THESE PROBLEMS WOULD OCCUR. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE BRAKES WERE WORKING PROPERLY. THERE WAS AN INCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS GOING DOWN A HILL APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE SOUNDED AS IF THE ENGINE WAS RAISED AND THE VEHICLE ALMOST SLID INTO TRAFFIC. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE SLIDING WAS THE ABS KICKING IN. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CONSUMER ALSO FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE NEED A MASTER CYLINDER CAP AND DIAPHRAGM FOR THE BRAKE FLUID. THE CONSUMER ALSO EXPERIENCED JERKING AND FELT THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THAT WASN'T THE CASE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED COMPENSATION FOR THESE ISSUES. *SC *JB
