Re: 2001 rodeo [nhrodeo]
Could you give a short rundown of how it works. I just "lost" my Isuzu to the dealership a couple of days ago. And was told that they would be contacting me for a buyback with no specifics. How long does this process take and what does it involve? How long does it take to get the check. I can't seem to find this info anywhere if you could please enlighten ... Read More

Re: 2001 rodeo [brokenparts]
As much as it sucks, Isuzu doesn't care since they're not in the car-selling market anymore. I got 2700.00 for my 2001 and that was good compared to other offers I saw on here. Wish you the best with yours...

Re: 2001 rodeo [knp412]

Engine shut-down
I have a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo. Love the vehicle, but the engine has begun to shut down (no sputtering) at random speeds or idling. The dashboard code is: cruise control/check transmition. I've taken it to three mechanics, none of whom could find the problem (the computer apparently is wiping the codes when the engine shuts down.) Transmission has been changed with no effect to the problem. Anyone had the same issue? ... Read More

Re: recall information [gonnafightit]
I'm late to the party here - I cosigned on a 2001 Rodeo Sport S for my daughter last year. We still owe $4,500 on the car, but just yesterday experienced the rusting frame issue. We're told by Isuzu that this particular model (the 2-door) isn't covered by the recall even though it's the IDENTICAL issue described in the recall description! We filed a complaint with the NHTSA and with our ... Read More

Defect Disaster
I had a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo which needed a fuel pump. My mechanic said I should not put money into repairs due to extensive corrosion to the frame. He said the car was too dangerous to drive. Instead I opted to make the repair and had the frame welded. The welding cost $530. One month later I hit a deer and totaled the car. Within a few weeks I received a ... Read More

My wife's 2001 Rodeo had a frame rot & trailing arm bracket mount failure in April 2009. I had repairs made after an Isuzu dealer told me the truck was out of warranty, but files a complaint with NHTSA the day of occurance. We recently received the recall info & have submitted a claim for reimbursement. Time will tell how it goes.

Re: It's over...my Isuzu has been scrapped [knp412]

It's over...my Isuzu has been scrapped
I was offered Kelly Blue Book ~ private sale, good condition, for my 2001 Isuzu Rodeo. After much thought I decided to take the money. I went to the dealership last week to sign over the vehicle. I will really miss my Isuzu, especially when the service manager who was helping me take the plates off said that the vehicle was in good condition, except for the frame, and that I ... Read More

Frustrated in PA
Hi everyone, I'm glad I found this site- I also have a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo. It is in the Allentown service center right now. I received a call yesterday saying that it has been repaired, using a small rear suspension bracket, and that I have a stage three situation, with the highest being a stage four- not reassuring at all. He then proceeded to tell me the wonderful news that my ... Read More

Re: 2001 Rodeo [farmgirl1504]
Just put a claim in with NHTSA .com Tell them that your gas tank is effected and the frame is bad. Put a claim in to the NJ attroney General and put a claim in with the FTC.gov and also put a claim in with the Isuzu corp try these numbers 1800-255-6727 and 1-714-935-9300. Then its a waiting game.

Hi, I'm new on here, I'm from NJ, have a 2001 Rodeo and now I'm afraid to drive it after reading all these posts!

Re: 2001 Rodeo frame rust [gurlzylla]
I don't know if you are aware of the Isuzu recall. It covers your year. You should have received a recall letter. In all likelihood you will get the response I got from "customer service" in CA. Basically we will fix the rear where it separated from the body but nothing else so to hell with you idf you die because we knowingly sent you out on the highway with a ... Read More

Re: 2001 Rodeo [kiki1275]
I have filed a new complaint on line with NHTSA and safercar.org regarding the fact that the frame is the issue and should be part of the recall.

I had called them several times and they claimed they did ... Read More

Re: 2001 Rodeo [jmcd2]

The NHTSA needs to step in here and force Isuzu and Honda to do the ... Read More

Re: 2001 rodeo [knp412]
Actually, 144,000 were included in the original recall, that was the original #. Later figure was approx. 188,000 affected vehicles, so you are talking about a lot of people. I think a class action law suit would be a great idea...but what lawyer or law firm wants to take on a corporation as big as Honda America? Would be great if we could find one. Toyota bought back the Tacomas affected ... Read More

ODD 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Flashing Transmission Dashboard Light
Really hoping to get an answer. 2001 Rodeo 4cyl automatic transmission. The transmission light on dashboard flashes and the transmission clunks. What is odd is this is very inconsistant, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. The mechanic must think that I am nuts because he can't get it to do it for him. But this is really happening. I don't want to continue driving it in fear of totally ruining ... Read More

If you have a v-6 engine,you will not damage your engine if the t-belt breaks.If you have a 4 cylinder,then you will damage the engine if the belt breaks.You should replace the timing belt,tensioner, and waterpump at one time with your mileage because they tend to fail at around 80k miles.The price seems reasonable if the waterpump is included.Check with an Isuzu dealer because they usually have a timing belt package ...

Re: isuzu rodeo 2001 transmission problems [twross]
I have a 2001 Rodeo sport. I had what sounds like a similar problem. It would lerch while shifting or while stopping. I had to have mode switch replaced it's under the dash, it communicates between the indicator on the dash and the gear on the floor board. I'm not sure if yours is set up this way, but it is a lot cheaper than a new transmission.

Re: isuzu rodeo 2001 transmission problems [blaznaro]
I have a 97 passport that had hard shifting problems when stopping and it would occasionally loose power in the lower gears. You might want to check the gear select switch on the side of the transmission, they tend to get dirty and send improper gear selection info to the computer. The switch can be taken apart and cleaned. Not sure if yours has the same tranny as mine(4L30). Hope this ... Read More

New Member with a Question
Good morning everyone. I am the happy owner of a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Sport. Bought new in 2000 it now has about 107,000 miles. It still runs strong (due for tune up and radiator flush tho). What is the story on the timing belts for this model? The manual says every 60,000 miles for change out. Can somebody please explain what non-interference means in regards to the timing belt ? Thanx ... Read More

Replacing old engine in 2001 Rodeo
My daughter has a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo we bought used which she loves. We've had it for about 2 years and are experiencing problems now. It has 69,000 miles on it. It supposedly is burning oil, we will find out for sure in the next couple of weeks. Our mechanic is going to put a high grade oil in and check it. If it is definately burning he said we should ...

Check Engine Light
Is there anyway to find out what the failure code is in a Rodeo without an Analyzer? Is there a good analyzer out there or some software that will work with a laptop or Palm O/S? General comments on my 2001 Isuzu Rodeo How can Isuzu make any money by building a crappy car and giving a 10 year warranty on it? I bought mine new and so far have had ... Read More

Spare tire under cargo area instead of behind the vehicle
The spare tire on my 2001 Honda Passport LX 2WD / Isuzu Rodeo is mounted on the rear cargo door and I'd like to mount it under the vehicle (like on the EX). I looked under the cargo area and I saw two brackets with 4 bolt holes which looks like it might hold an optional fixture for the spare tire, but I cant find anything in a search for aftermarket ...

Re: Excessive Oil Consumption on 2001 Rodeo [bigred13]
You are way above the 1qt per 1k. Your dealer should install a new engine for free. Since you are the orginal owner you have a 120k/10yr warranty. Contact Corp Isuzu and tell them that your oil consumption test was completed at a dealer and they are unwilling to replace the engine.

Excessive Oil Consumption on 2001 Rodeo
For what it's worth, We bought a new Rodeo in 2001.....Loved it and had absolutely no problems the first 3 yrs. Going into year 4 and at about 60,000 miles, we were made aware of an issue when we had the oil changed (which we did every 3000 mi faithfully) The issue was that when the mechanic drained the oil, he was concerned at the low amount that came out and ...

2001 Rear Drum Brake Shoes Replacement
Does anyone have experience with replacing the rear brakes? I have a 2001 V6 LS 2WD A/T Rodeo with 55K miles on it. The rear brakes were squealing and had them checked and replaced. The small shop ordered Thermoquiet Warner brake shoes from O'Reilly. They installed shoes but the drum would not fit over the new brake shoes. They ordered another set and still the same issue. The shop said it ... Read More

Re: 1998 Isuzu Rodeo [iatech]
I think that you have to press the unlock button on your remote twice. Pressing it once just unlocks the driver's side only. Pressing the button a second time opens the remaining doors. This is how it is programmed on our 2001 Rodeo. Good Luck!

Re: 99 Rodeo ABS [apriliabob]
Well I have a 2001 Honda Passport with an Isuzu engine and just today I took it to the dealer for a possible ABS problem. On occasion, especially in the morning, when I leave my house and have to apply the brakes it makes a crunching noise and springs forward like I'm on ice before it will stop then when I accelerate again after a few yards the rear end bumps ...

re: oil problems
I had a 95.5 Rodeo with the same problem. When I changed my spark plugs I saw that several of the spark plug channels were filled with oil. Isuzu's answer to this was to put gaskets on the spark plug connecter assembly to prevent oil from getting down to the spark plug. They said that a little oil leakage was no big deal. I never had any problems, but I did ... Read More

rodeo issues
Shocks, on my 2001 Rodeo LS 4x4, I put monroe sensatracts~ $125. Big difference. My engine uses about a half quart of oil per 5000 miles. At least until the head gasket blew at 62000. Then Isuzu replaced the entire engine (after 5 weeks of BS). Gas mileage is in the 19mph range at 70+ mph. I do use synthetic oil and fram filters. I think it makes a difference.

blown head gasket
FYI---I was headed down to FL (from Atlanta) and the head gasket blew in the middle of nowhere AL. I had 62295 miles on my 2001 Rodeo LS (2295 miles past the towing warranty) and had to pay $300 to have it towed to the nearest Isuzu dealer. Found out later that both the head and the engine block were warped from this incident, thus requiring a complete engine replacement. Fortunately, ... Read More

Rodeo Gone
Well, I sold my 2001 Rodeo. Put it the paper and sold it the same day. I wound up buying a '99 Chrysler Town and Country to replace it. I have never been a fan of Chrysler but, like Isuzu, they are cheap to buy used. It just got too hard for my wife to cram our 3 children in the back of our Rodeo. I thought about the getting a ...

extended warranty
Anybody had any experience with extended warranty? I'm getting close to the end of my manufacture warranty (powertrain will stay but Bumper-to-Bumper is running out). I am shopping around for third party (or possibly Isuzu) extended warranty. So far the best deal I got offered was from WarrantybyNet.com. Their deal is actually a bit too good so I was wondering if anybody used them. Also any suggestions about extended warranty for ... Read More

Pinging and thumping
I have a 2001 Rodeo LS and am having a few problems that the dealer says are normal on Isuzus. This vehicle will not run without pinging on any gas except 93 octane. Also after coming to a stop and then starting off again you can feel a thump in the transmission or drive shaft. Have any of you other owners experienced these problems and if so any suggestions.

Houston area Isuzu Dealers
promopete- I bought my 2001 Rodeo from McKinzey-Bond (Southwest Houston) in March 2001. I have had the vehicle in for service only once since then for the 15K service and a check engine light (loose gas cap). My service advisor, Sean, was very courteous and helpful. Where did you have your Rodeo serviced?

cargo cover availability
I am currently in progress of trying to buy a cargo cover for my '01 Rodeo and having a lot of problems... very unexpected I should say. 4 out of 5 of my local dealers couldn't locate one in Beige color and said they don't exist, which is a complete BS. One dealer did locate it, but after I waited for two weeks and called them to get the status on ... Read More

I Need Advice.
I recently purchased a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo LS with 37k on the clock. The owner's manual is missing. When I look up reviews on this model, I notice that standard features included: 6-CD changer as well as an anti-theft remote alarm/device. My vehicle has had the CD apparatus taken out. The tape deck/radio remains intact and there are buttons for a CD player,so it must have been there at one stage...dealer ... Read More
