Isuzu Rodeo ABS Issues

• Canadian 1998 & 1999 Rodeos with ABS issues

  Written by: maritimeajs on Apr 6, 2011 12:42:25 PM

  Hi, I am an owner of a 1998 Isuzu Rodeo. I am wondering if you have had any issues with your ABS? My ABS light has been on intermittently since 2004. I found out recently that there had been a recall notice in 2003 to replace the ABS Integrated Coil Module on 1998 and 1999 Rodeos... but only in the United States. I was told by Transport Canada that a recall ... Read More

  You mentioned that your ABS light is on... did you have the recall on your ABS "Coil Integrated Module" done back in 2003-2004?

Buying a used Isuzu Rodeo

• Isuzu Rodeo S

  Written by: shopdog97 on Jan 9, 2011 12:01:33 PM

  I was at a local car dealership and saw a 2004 Isuzu Rodeo Sport. It has 65K on it, auto and looks to be nicely loaded. I think the price was about 10K. Are these things pretty reliable? I know nothing about this model. It is a 4X4 model. I don't even think Izusu's are around anymore, are they? Any thoughts on this vehicle would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

  Hi, this is my first posting and I need help! My 2002 6-cyl / 3.2L Rodeo now has 62,000 miles on it. At about 40,000 miles, my check engine light began coming on and staying on.

• 2004 Isuzu Rodeo is Junk

  Written by: tabsfusion on Oct 20, 2005 12:22:33 PM

  I bought a brand new 04 Rodeo in December of 04. About 5 or 6 months later, I started noticing it acting funny (i.e. no power, missing, sometimes wouldn't start the first time, etc...). It had about 18000 miles on it so I took it in to the dealership. It had to have all new spark plugs, because the ones in it were bad. Even after that the problem wasn't completely ... Read More

• 2004 incentives...

  Written by: cracovian on Aug 5, 2004 11:38:02 AM

  You should be able to get $6500 off the invoice, possibly even $1K more. Direct engine-optioned Rodeos are pricey, not very common, and not much cheaper than a similarly equipped Axiom which I'd personally go for. I would also look at Mitsubishi Montero Sports. They currently have a $3000 rebate (hopefully, they can up it soon), much more compliant ride, good though thirsty 3.5l 197HP engine, better reliability than the Rodeo ... Read More

  You will want to read this article. Found the pointer in the "Isuzu pulling out of Canada? Maybe the US too" discussion. http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2004-04-20-isuzu_x.htm Rodeo production stops July 23rd. There will ONLY be the Ascender 5 & 7 passenger until the 2007 model year. In 2007 Isuzu plans to be completely free of GM and bring a new, completely ISUZU vehicle to the US.
