- Summary: I DRIVE A 2001 ISUZU RODEO. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 111,000 MILES ON IT AND IS IN GREAT SHAPE. IT IS GARAGED YEAR-ROUND IN SOUTH BEND, INDIANA. I STARTED HEARING A GRINDING NOISE AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. UPON LOOKING UNDER MY VEHICLE I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THE SHIELD THAT COVERS THE PLASTIC GAS TANK WAS ROTTED THROUGH. THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF THE GAS TANK IS NOW VISIBLE AND THE SHIELD IS THE PART THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE. I WENT TO A MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY AND HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT. WHEN THE MECHANIC PUT THE CAR ON THE LIFT HE SAW EXTENSIVE RUST AND SOME ROT UNDER THE VEHICLE ON THE FRAME. HE STATED THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE SHIELD. AS OF RIGHT NOW IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE GAS TANKS SHIELD BEING ROTTED OUT. THE MECHANIC TRIED TO ORDER ME A REPLACEMENT BUT HIS SUPPLIER SAID THE PARTS ARE NO LONGER BEING MADE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET ONE WOULD BE FROM A JUNK YARD AND MOST OF THE PARTS IN THERE WOULD MOST LIKELY BE ROTTED AS WELL. AND FEEL WRONGED BY ISUZU. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT AGAINST THEM AND EXPECT A RESOLUTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I WOULD BE PERFECTLY HAPPY GETTING THE CAR FIXED, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT MONTHS FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU

Positive Isuzu Rodeo 2001 car reviews

Hi there! You have a good truck. Just a friendly reminder to make sure you pay the proper price.
-
I chose my Isuzu over other midsize SUVs because it drives like a car, not a truck. It's really fun to drive, although the gas gauge seems to deplete pretty fast. Overall, I'm really happy with my car. The brakes do squeak a lot when it's wet, but I haven't had any mechanical problems to speak of. It does sputter a bit on startup when it's cold, but it always starts up and gets me where I need to go.
-
I purchased this truck almost new (5,000 mile demo) and, other than scheduled maintenance, I have not had any problems that would cause me to not like or even buy another of this mid-size SUV. Plus, the fantastic 110,000 mile warranty covered a blown transmission at 98,000 miles, which was a great relief!
-
You've had your Rodeo for four years now and it's been running smoothly. Apart from regular oil changes and other types of preventive maintenance, you haven't had any issues with your Isuzu. Even when you had a problem with the fuel pump, it was quickly taken care of thanks to the extended warranty you had on the vehicle. Overall, that's a pretty impressive track record in my opinion.
-
I'm so glad to hear that you've had such a positive experience with your truck! It sounds like it's been a reliable and powerful vehicle for you. I completely understand what you mean about the Rodeo being a truck, and how that can be both a good and bad thing depending on your needs. From what you've described, it seems like it's been an excellent fit for your needs. It's great to hear that it tows well, has plenty of power, and handles snowy and off-road conditions with ease. I can definitely see how a rough ride and lower fuel economy might be expected from a 4x4 truck, but it's good to know that it hasn't detracted from your overall experience. And it's impressive that your truck is still running strong after two cross-country trips and nearly 100,000 miles! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.

Are you having problems with your Isuzu Rodeo 2001?
Marvin McKenzie 2024-11-02
I've owned my RODEO for two years now and I have to say, I'm a bit surprised at how quickly it has depreciated. However, I understand that I got what I paid for. While the interior of the truck may not be the most luxurious, it still gets the job done. The plastic material used for the dash and other parts may be a bit thin, but I haven't had any major problems with it. The truck has good power for its size, although the air conditioning can take a while to kick in. The ride can be a bit bumpy on rough roads, but overall it's a decent ride. If you're not too concerned about having a fancy interior or great gas mileage, then this truck could be a good fit for you.
Arvid Lind 2024-10-17
You may have experienced some issues with your vehicle, such as burning a significant amount of oil (about a quart every 900 miles) and needing to have the engine replaced under warranty after only 27,000 miles. Additionally, you may have noticed that your gas mileage is around 15 mpg combined. We understand that these issues can be frustrating, and we are here to help.
Wiley Durgan 2024-10-12
Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share my experience with my vehicle. While it looks great, I've noticed that it dings quite easily and the exhaust rattles like it's coming loose. Unfortunately, this happened when it was only a year old. Additionally, the windows fuse is blown, so the windows are stuck in the up position, and the rear windshield wiper doesn't work anymore. It's a bit frustrating, but I'm looking forward to selling it and upgrading to a Mercedes M Class. I have to admit, I got this car at a great price with 0% financing, so it's not all bad news. Thanks for listening!
Giovanny Jenkins 2024-09-14
We've had some trouble with our vehicle. After someone set off the alarm, it wouldn't stay cranked and now it won't start at all. We've taken it to 5 different shops/mechanics, including a dealership, but unfortunately, no one has been able to find anything wrong with it. We've done some research online and it seems like others have had the same problem, which may have to do with the alarm system. However, we haven't been able to find a solution yet. We're feeling a bit frustrated and worried about the cost, especially since we didn't purchase a warranty. Despite this, we're hopeful that we'll be able to find a solution soon. Thank you for your help.

I bought my 2001 Rodeo LS 4WD used on 10/02/2002 with 15,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, the 4WD did not work right off due to a bad actuator that had to be replaced. About a year later, the Transmission Position Sensor went out and I had trouble putting it in gear. However, for the following 3 years, it ran fine without any problems. About 6 months ago, the TPS went out again, but I was able to fix it myself by cleaning out the dirt. Unfortunately, about 5 months ago at 78,000 miles, the transmission had to be replaced at a cost of $2000.00. Despite this, I can't complain too much. The power is good, the integrity of the chassis is good, and it rides a little bumpy. Although I wouldn't purchase it again, overall it has been a decent car.
