I have about 52,000 miles on my 2000 Rodeo. The ride has grown increasingly bouncy; it's now feels similar to a carnival ride. This is particularly bad, because it aggravates this vehicles rattle quotient - everything rattles. Isuzu dealers are few and far between and they act like it. My dealer was never able to identify problems (or even agree there was a problem) on the first visit making each repair a multi visit battle (I did eventually win many, but not all of the battles). Unless you absolutely can’t afford something else – I’d look elsewhere. Most any other vehicle out there is superior to this one. Run; don't walk, out of your Isuzu dealer.
Reliable and low operation cost

This is one of the more attractive SUV's and I am pleased with it's performance though it does have some issues. One happens to be the wind noise when driving on the highway. Another issue is the climate controls, they seem as though they belong in my old GEO. On an overall scale of 1 to 10, it gets a 5.

I have always had an Isuzu, I find the to be very long lasting and quite reliable. The Rodeo is the mid size one and it offers a lot of SUV for the dollar.

purchased a new isuzu rodeo LS 2WD in 2000. up to recently the car has been very reliable. around 30,000 miles had problems with transmission, eventhough i have performed a transmission fluid flush, granted it was not done at the dealership as they ususally charge quite a premium. perhaps that was my fault for not taking it there in the first place. luckily, the warranty covered the repair. besides other minor problems (usual wear and tear) the car has been very reliable. the only suggested improvments consist of improved suspension (very stiff), and improved noise control. otherwise good vehicle for its price.

A fun to drive, dependable SUV. Enjoy driving, very comfortable and a great CD system. Very good exterior and interior finish. Same quality as the Honda that we traded in on the Rodeo. Very little maintenance has kept the operating cost low.
What Quality Improvement?

Honda supposedly improved Isuzu's quality issues in the late 90's. Either Honda didn't teach well, or Isuzu didn't listen. Incredible number of little things started going wrong after one year. Hood latch broke. Rear glass loose. Body panels rattling. EGR vale, fuel filter, replaced twice. Engine stall. Door hinges replaced. On and on. Some warranty items, most not. Never buy an Isuzu.
What a shame

I've had this truck for 4 long years. Only 70,000 miles. Problems: Trans Slip, Fuel Gauge Broke, Engine Light ALWAYS on - Dealer has no clue - ABS Light - Always on - Nobody can seem to figure out how to align my steering - Electrical system completed shorted out - hmmm is that dangerous? YES!! The only reason I keep the car is because I can't decide which is worse keep - roll the dice and keep the car for another year or take on another 5 year payment. I rate it a 2 since it still starts.
