What NHTSA data shows for Isuzu
Across the 2 Isuzu models with enough data to count (model years 1995–2008), NHTSA has 3,378 owner complaints on file and 22 recall campaigns. The most-reported components across the make are brakes (564), body and structure (541), suspension (411). The Isuzu Rodeo has the most complaints of any Isuzu, with 2,961. Data as of 2026-10-12.
Complaint counts rise with how many of a model were sold and how long they've been on the road, so a big number mostly means a common car. The useful part is what fails: when the top complaint is brakes, read our guide to deciding whether to repair or junk before you take an offer.
