1998 Isuzu Rodeo LX review from North America
"Wish it were better :("
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light and check trans light were flashing, but the dealer said no problem. Months later, the alternator went out. The day I got the new alternator, the transmission started slipping. Coincidence? Rear wiper worked once after the new alternator was put in, and now nothing. A wheezing sound is now coming from the rear of the car when I accelerate. UGH!
For the life of me, I can't get this car to quit pulling to the right!!
General comments?
I do like the room; it is great for hauling, but not too big.
I wish I could put the seats down and still have access to my arm rest storage!
Overall, a nice looking car.
