THERE ARE THREE PROBLEMS WITH MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO. 1) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON ALMOST CONTINUALLY. IT WAS CHECKED AT ROYALL ISUZU IN RICHMOND, VA, WHERE THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM IS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. ONE OTHER CUSTOMER WAS THERE AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM ON HER 1999 RODEO. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE IS SEEING AN INCREASING NUMBER OF RODEOS WITH THIS PROBLEM. HOW AM I TO KNOW IF A TRUE PROBLEM POPS UP WITH THE VEHICLE OR IF THE LIGHT IS ONLY ON FOR THE SAME? 2) ONE BY ONE, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE FAILING. IT STARTED WITH THE CLOCK LIGHT AND HAS NOW GONE TO THE RADIO LIGHT. 3) IN JULY 2001, THREE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE (34,000 MILES AT TIME OF USED PURCHASE) THE CLUTCH STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. THE CLUTCH FLUID RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. WHITTEN ISUZU IN RICHMOND, VA, TOOK THREE SEPARATE SERVICE TRIPS TO TRY TO FIX IT. AFTER THE SO-CALLED REPAIR, THE PROBLEM SEEMED BETTER. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, THE FLUID LEVEL SLOWLY BUT STEADILY DECREASES SO I CONTINUALLY ADD CLUTCH FLUID. NOW THE CLUTCH SLIPS WHEN ACCELERATING IN FIFTH GEAR. STEADY DRIVING IN FIFTH DOES NOT POSE A PROBLEM BUT INCREASING SPEED SUCH AS UPHILL OR TO PASS ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSES A SUDDEN RISE IN RPM AS THE CLUTCH SLIPS. BECAUSE I PURCHASED IT USED, THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 50,000 MILES, SO THAT'S GONE. IT SEEMS AS IF A PROBLEM ADDRESSED UNDER WARRANTY SHOULD STILL BE REPAIRED. I HAVE GIVEN UP ON CALLING ISUZU CUSTOMER SERVICE AS THE CALLS ARE EITHER NOT RETURNED FROM VOICE MAIL OR I AM GIVEN A VERY BRUSQUE DENIAL OF EVEN CONSIDERING THE PROBLEMS. I LOVE THIS VEHICLE AND REALLY ENJOY IT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PROBLEMS ADDRESSED ABOVE. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER AND HAVE KEPT IT COMPLETELY ON SCHEDULE WITH OIL CHANGES, ETC. I SEE ON YOUR COMPLAINT SEARCH THAT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, SO WHY DOES ISUZU ACT AS IF THEY KNOW OF NO OTHERS? THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY DUE TO THE SENDING UNIT.*AK

ISUZU IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 1998-2002 ISUZU RODEO AND MODEL YEAR 2002 ISUZU AXIOM VEHICLES, AND HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN 1998-2002 HONDA PASSPORT VEHICLES, THAT WERE ORIGINALLY SOLD, OR ARE CURRENTLY REGISTERED, IN THE STATES OF MAINE, NEW HAMPSHIRE, VERMONT, MASSACHUSETTS, RHODE ISLAND, CONNECTICUT, NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA, DELAWARE, MARYLAND, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WEST VIRGINIA, OHIO, INDIANA, MICHIGAN, ILLINOIS, WISCONSIN, MINNESOTA, IOWA, MISSOURI, AND KENTUCKY. VEHICLES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED SUSTAINED EXPOSURE TO HIGHLY CORROSIVE MATERIALS USED IN SOME JURISDICTIONS FOR ROAD DEICING PURPOSES MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE CORROSION IN THE VICINITY OF THE FORWARD MOUNTING POINT BRACKET FOR THE LEFT OR RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT SUCH CORROSION WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: EXCESSIVE CORROSION MAY RESULT IN THE LEFT OR RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET BECOMING DETACHED FROM THE FRAME, WHICH CAN AFFECT VEHICLE HANDLING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET AREA. FOR VEHICLES IN WHICH LITTLE OR NO CORROSION IS FOUND, THE AREA WILL BE TREATED WITH AN ANTI-CORROSIVE COMPOUND. 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 RARE EVENT THE CORROSION IS SO SEVERE THAT THE REINFORCEMENT BRACKET REMEDY WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE, A REPURCHASE OFFER WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE VEHICLE'S OWNER. 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, OR HONDA DEALER (AS APPLICABLE), DEALER WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF WHEN OWNER NOTIFICATIONS WERE ISSUED. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 10, 2010. ISUZU OWNERS MAY CONTACT ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727. HONDA OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 201, "OCCUPANT PROTECTION IN INTERIOR IMPACT."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, PERSONAL INJURY COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE INTERIOR OF YOUR VEHICLE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. PAINT WAS APPLIED UNEVENLY ON THE REAR AXLES, RESULTING IN INSUFFICIENT PAINT HARDNESS. SHOULD THIS OCCUR ON THE SURFACE THAT CONTACTS THE REAR AXLE LOWER LINK BRACKET BOLT HEAD AND/OR NUT, THE NUT MAY LOOSEN.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE BOLT COULD DETACH FULLY, CAUSING SEPARATION OF THE LOWER LINK FROM THE REAR AXLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REAR AXLE LOWER LINK JOINT NUT AND BOLT.

On September 22, 2010, Isuzu Manufacturing Services of America, Inc (Isuzu) submitted a Defect Information Report (NHTSA Recall 10V-436) to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration affecting approximately 120,000 model year (MY) 1998-2002 Isuzu Rodeo and Honda Passport vehicles and MY 2002 Isuzu Axiom vehicles originally sold, or currently operated, in the following states:Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. All vehicle owners will receive the recall notification.Vehicles 10 years of age or younger will be provided with a free remedy.For vehicles older than 10 years, Isuzu will offer a free remedy provided the vehicle is presented to an Isuzu service facility or a Honda dealer (as applicable) no later than twelve (12) months after the date of mailing of the notification letter to the owner.The report describes a condition where vehicles operated in states using certain road deicing materials may exhibit excessive corrosion which may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame.According to Isuzu a detached lower link may affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash.The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed complaint data and found that 114 of the 115 (99%) alleged complete lower link separations from the frame occurred in vehicles originally sold or operated in a state covered by the recall. Of these complaints 2 involved alleged crashes and 21 involved alleged loss of control incidents.The alleged crashes and loss of control incidents all occurred in vehicles operated in a state covered by the safety recall.Isuzu's recall instructs dealers to inspect the rear suspension lower link bracket area to determine if corrosion is present.For vehicles in which corrosion has damaged the lower link bracket area and affected its connection to the vehicle frame, a reinforcement bracket will be installed.For vehicles with no visible signs of corrosion, dealers with apply anti-corrosion material to reduce the likelihood of corrosion developing in the future. Based on Isuzu's safety recall, this Engineering Analysis is closed.A copy of the recall may be assessed on NHTSA's website using the reference number above.
