2002 Isuzu Rodeo review from North America
"Gas guzzling mystery.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had this car just about a month (purchased March 31) and already I'm having problems. The car constantly has either the check engine light, or the ABS light on. As of yesterday April 27, both lights are on at the same time. Also I can never tell exactly how much gas is in the tank. It's like I'm getting a false reading.
When I very first got the car, I believed that maybe the gas tank was leaking. I just couldn't believe how much gas this SUV guzzled in a week. After my son took a look at the tank I realized that I would be needing to fill the tank at least once a week, maybe even more.
I'm not even sure what's going on with the ABS light. It came on a couple of days ago, and has not gone off since. I am a single mother, and needed the car to get back and forth to work... and get my children to school. I called the dealer today and was told that the repair shop closed at noon. I plan to call them first thing Monday morning to get this vehicle looked at.
After reading all of the information on the web about the problems associated with this vehichle, I'm really sorry I bought it.
General comments?
I like the look and the feel of my Rodeo, I'm just really worried about the problems that I've had in less than a month of ownership.
