2002 Isuzu Rodeo LX review from North America
"Piece of Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear Windshield Wiper stopped working at $50K.
Transmission began having problems at $58K due to low transmission fluid cause by a defective seal. The problem is you CAN'T check the fluid by design! Charged ME $252.00 for a transmission flush. They replaced the seal under warranty.
Transmission failed again at $63K due to a "transmission mode switch" cost of $452.00. My wife will not drive it anymore and I can't blame her.
General comments?
Rides and looks good, but is unreliable.
