  What a shame - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Rodeo - November 22 - 10:00 am

  Ive 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 cant 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.

  I love this SUV - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By mztalker19 - May 19 - 4:33 am

  I have a family of five now and we need a van. I am going to hate to see my truck go. It has been so good to me. I have made multiple trips to Missouri from Michigan in this truck. I have not had any problems with this truck. Helpful reminders is to make sure you tighten the gas cap past three clicks and keep oil in it is about all. I have noticed that the oil tends to burn a little quicker than other vehicles BUT it doesnt leak it. Has never been a big deal. I am VERY impressed with this truck and whomever buys it from me is going to be happy! Good luck, you wont regret it.

  Just eh... - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Eric V - March 27 - 10:00 am

  This is one of the more attractive SUVs and I am pleased with its 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.

  Overall - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By answerinstl - March 13 - 9:10 am

  I have put over 35K miles on my Rodeo in less than 2 years. I love this SUV. It is comfy, roomy, and economical. 95K miles currently and still going real strong with no signs of slipping. I would buy another no problems here.

  Former Rodeo Owner - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By dimitrisyaakov - December 12 - 10:00 am

  The Rodeo is small( sholder room ), top heavy, has poorly thoughtout interior and exterior design. Windshield moldings had to be removed and re-glued due to excessive wind noise. The front suspension was factory bad and had to be modified to level the vehicle out. The brakes stick when a hard stop is required. The rear axle yoke had to have special grease and parts to make it function properly. There were spot weld rust through around the rear lift gate from the factory. The ride was rough. Wind, Rain and Road noise were horrable. Traveling down the road while raining you hear every drop.

BRAKES BADDDDDD!!,BACK WINDSHELD SHATTER ON ITS OWN THE 3RD YEAR (WARRTY DIDNT COVER BECAUSE THE WINDOW WAS TINTED) KEYLESS ENTRY FOB WORK SOME TIME MOSTLY WHEN UP VERYYYYY CLOSE TO TRUCK (REPLACE BATTERIES SEVERAL TIMES ) SO PLASE THINK ABOUT IT!!!

  Its just o.k. - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By kalex - April 19 - 2:00 am

  I bought it because I really liked the design ( still do! ) and the 100,000 mile warranty. unfortunately, when I did have a problem with the fuel pump the warranty had just expired. Cost me $1,200. It also is burning a quart of oil every three thousand miles. Not good, considering I baby this thing.

  Its Cheap & You get what you pay for - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By dan - February 15 - 2:00 am

  I have about 52,000 miles on my 2000 Rodeo. The ride has grown increasingly bouncy; its 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; dont walk, out of your Isuzu dealer.
