2000 Isuzu Rodeo review from North America

Air conditioning compressor after 3 years.

Defroster fan motor after 4 years.

Rear window wiper motor after 4 years.

Impossible to fix/built-in front end shimmy at 65 MPH:nothing helps: brand of tires, alignments, balancing, suspension.

Rear door latch after 3 years.

Serpentine belts last 2 years at most.

The above issues really make buying this brand useless: these are things you expect to go wrong on an "American"

engineered car: very expensive and none should have gone bad.

I mean really, the compressor after 3 years?

Comfortable, stylish, roomy... all mean nothing when given the poor quality of the accessories.

Also, horrendous gas mileage..15 city, never ever better than 20 on the highway with a strong tailwind!

I am a maintenance freak, and have all the preventive things done. Waste of money, as you still wind up spending a fortune of peripherals.

This I could get in an American car.

So my next one probably will be.

By the way, this was built in the states, one of the reasons I bought it.
