1998 Isuzu Rodeo LS review from North America
"Lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission hard shift. Dealer tore down the transmission, rear end and replaced the computer.
After the dealer replaced the computer, I lost my fuel gauge. Never cleared the problem.
The car overheats intermittently; thermostat replaced and has gone through 2 blown radiators.
Head gasket now blown.
General comments?
Car spends more time broken down than on the road.
