The only Thing wrong with this vechile is the knocking sound that I have had for the last two years. When I took it to a dealer, their response was that the oil has to travel up to the engine, however, that did not solve the problem. I burn a quart every 1000 to 2000 miles. a car with this many miles will burn a quart of oil all the time no matter what car it is. however, that is the only problem I have had.
The car run great.
I agree with your post. My Rodeo has the same problem. I was told by mechanics to replace the engine, but I think I'm going to just buy a new car, which upsets me cause I really like the Rodeo.
I had a 1995 Rodeo. It was a horrible experience. If you sell it, now is the time before it tortures you to death.
