2002 Isuzu Rodeo review from North America
"Unreliable, costly, a mistake"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ABS light came on and stayed on after owning the car for 1 month.
The check engine light came on after 3 years, had the car checked was told it was a cam shaft position sensor or "it might just be a computer malfunction".
Advised not to have repaired unless the car started to signs of a problem. One year later had to have it repaired, cost $1,500.
Last week, car is now 5 years old, 28,500 miles, fuel pump went out. Cost of repair $530.00.
Nearest dealer 150 miles away, so warranty is useless.
General comments?
With only 28,500 miles in 5 years and the amount of money I've spent in major repairs is absurd. One can only guess what will go next on it.
