#715 of 2255 Isuzu "recall" of Rodeo for brakes by mmaclellan Jun 12, 2002 (6:06 am)
Tuesday June 11, 3:11 pm Eastern Time Reuters Company News Isuzu to upgrade brakes on 215,000 SUVs   DETROIT, June 11 (Reuters) - Isuzu Motors Ltd. (Tokyo:7202.T - News) on Tuesday said it would upgrade the anti-lock braking systems on 215,000 Isuzu and Honda sport utility vehicles to shorten their stopping distances.   Isuzu spokesman Chip Letzgus said the upgrade would cover 1998 and 1999 model Isuzu Rodeo, Isuzu Amigo and Honda Passport SUVs built at an Indiana plant Isuzu owns jointly with the Subaru unit of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (Tokyo:7270.T - News)   Letzgus said government tests had found that the affected SUVs could take longer than other vehicles to stop, especially in cases where one side of a road had less traction than another.   Models built after 2000 did not have the problem, so Isuzu will replace the computer chip in the 1998 and '99 models with the modern version, Letzgus said.   The upgrade will take several months to complete. The problem is not considered a defect by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and Isuzu's action is not classified as an official safety recall, a NHTSA spokesman said.

#720 of 2255 Drive shaft by hkh Jun 14, 2002 (4:28 pm)
I have a 2001 LS Rodeo. I just had the driveshaft replaced by the dealer after saying it feels like someone hits me from the rear after the SUV comes to a complete stop (sometimes). This has not stoped the thumping feeling. Has anyone have this problem? I have a 95 Rodeo and comparing the 2, my 95 is by far BETTER.

That occasional driveline thump is settled when I switched to regular fuel. If you have been using preium or midgrade fuel, try using regular fuel.
#722 of 2255 current incentives by jenningsm Jun 15, 2002 (12:27 pm)
wgr;   I have seen the 7K figure here in Portland as well for 2001 leftovers with 4WD. I bought my 2001 leftover in December.. I took the 0% finance for 5 yrs over the rebate, and bought the truck for just under invoice, so it combined at the time for just over 5K worth of incentives (i have a v6 2WD). Yes, the ride is trucklike if you compare to a Highlander, but it swallows the golf gear well, and we both enjoy the sense of solidity that the vehicle has all-round. This is one tough truck, not a restyled car fuel economy: 18 in city, 23 highway on Vegas run with air con on
#723 of 2255 Driveshaft problem by doublee1 Jun 15, 2002 (1:04 pm)
The the guy that had a driveline thump when coming to a stop. I have a 2001 4WD and I have the same problem. Mine also thumps the car when Im starting from a stop. The dealer in fort collins fixes it by re-lubing the slip yolk on the drive shaft. They say that there is no fix other than lubing the slip yolk every 5K miles.
#724 of 2255 Upgraded Spark Plugs-Check Engine Light by doublee1 Jun 15, 2002 (1:09 pm)
I recently upgraded the spark plugs to Bosch Plus Two Platinum plugs, and now the check engine light is on. The dealer said that it is because the ECM doesnt like bosch plugs, and they are causing a misfire. I like the plugs as the engine has more power, and my gas mileage is way up also. It recently got 23 MPG while driving up I-70 at 75MPH with a full load for a weekend of camping near Breckenridge. Does anyone have any suggestions, or do you think that i could be causing harm to the engine?   Thanks,   EE
