For vehicles in which corrosion has damaged the rear suspension lower link bracket and affected its connection to the vehicle frame, a reinforcement bracket will be installed. In the event the corrosion is so severe that the reinforcement bracket remedy would not be sufficient, Isuzu will offer to repurchase the vehicle for an amount based on the Kelley Blue Book "Private Party" price. All inspections and remedies will be provided free of charge for vehicles that are 10 years old or less. For vehicles older than 10 years, Isuzu will offer a free remedy, but only if the vehicle is presented to an Isuzu service facility dealer within 12 months of when owner notifications were issued, after that time owners will be charged for the repairs.

This SUV is designed to tow and has impressive towing capacity for its size. While it may be a bit challenging to put the trailer on with the spare, it still manages to get great gas mileage even while towing. In fact, it's almost as efficient as when it's not towing at all!

The V6 in the truck is awesome! I'm so glad you're enjoying the engine's response. One word, GREAT...

I love the feeling of driving my 2002 soft top Isuzu Rodeo Sport on an open road! The fuel economy is fantastic, although the ride can be a bit bumpy. The only downside is that it takes over 5 minutes to remove all of the back windows to lower the top, and putting them back on can be a bit of a chore, especially if you get caught in a rainstorm. Overall, though, I really enjoy this vehicle!

Vehicle year: 2003
I just bought one and I'm loving it! It's a lot of fun to drive. I really like the removable hardtop and multiple removable moon roofs. It's very sporty and has good acceleration while still getting decent mileage. It's definitely a fun and unique alternative to your typical SUV!

Vehicle year: 2002
Good reliable little vehicle. You'll be happy to know that the only mechanical/electrical problem we have experienced is a defective dashboard light dimmer switch which the dealer replaced at no cost and an fuel injection oxygen sensor. While the fuel economy is not the greatest for a relatively small vehicle, its truck-based construction allows for greater towing capacities than similar small sport utilities. Overall, I would definitely buy it again!
Are you having problems with your Isuzu Rodeo sport?
Kraig Runolfsson 2024-09-18
Vehicle year: 2003
This is a great SUV! I've had it for just over a month and it's everything I expected and more. It handles traffic and off-road driving with ease, and has plenty of power for towing small trailers and campers. My son loves the rear moonroof, and the cargo space is just enough to fit all of my hunting equipment. The only minor issues I've noticed are that it's not the most fuel-efficient vehicle, and the shift lever can be a bit of a nuisance for my right leg.

The rodeo sport is really nice! It's especially great to have 4WD in winter conditions and mud. The car looks amazing and the stereo system is awesome. My dog absolutely loves to ride in it because he can look out of all the windows. Plus, the cargo area is big enough to haul his kennel. However, on long road trips, it could be a little more comfortable. It would be great to have some lumbar support.

I took care of my car like any other car should be, but unfortunately, the engine blew during a highway trip.

I will never purchase another Isuzu. The CD player is worthless, the gas mileage is poor, and small components such as the rear window wiper and door latch fall apart with ease. My experience with the Isuzu Rodeo Sport was extremely disappointing.
