1999 Isuzu Rodeo LS review from North America
"Greatest small SUV being sold"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 50,000 miles the engine light came on. Took it to the dealer we purchased it from and they flushed the motor and reset the senor light. At 55,000 miles the gas gauge started showing empty at 3/4 of a tank of gas. We just watch the miles now.
General comments?
I wish they would recall the gas gauge since that is a very common problem.
I wouldn't trade my rodeo in on anything else. I'm very happy with it.
If you find a SUV that is without problem let me know. I have had less problems with this car than I have with any other small SUV.
