2000 Isuzu Rodeo LS review from North America

Tranny leak x3,radiator smell with no leak, 3 sets of tires, 2 full sets of brakes (rears from dealer prior to purchase related to 1st tranny leak- pads wore out related to fluid on them), CD changer has eaten 4 CDs and won't give them back, no light on clock, no gas guage since 50Kish, check engine light since about 50K as well-it is most alarming when it goes OFF! Window buttons don't work- most recently, yesterday, it became stuck in the down position and won't come up! It actually is a convenience since the drivers door handle stopped working from the outside a few months ago- now instead of reaching across from the passengers side, I can reach in through the open window!It's cold in MA in December! Air spoiler thingy over rear window became loose (lost 2 nuts) and made a horrible squeaky noise until I figured that out! Shake, shimmy and roll over bumps and corners. Scary ride at this point. I was hoping for another year with 'my Joe', I will miss him, but it's time he goes to hospice care- comfort care only- no heroic measures planned here. I just hope that the dealership around the corner runs the "push, pull or tow it in" trade in deal SOON! How do I get the window up so I don't freeze? I don't care about using it- I can deal with it being stationary.

Guess it gave me a good run.

Never stuck in the snow.

Interior is just roomy enough with ease of parking a "girly" SUV.

Cargo area is big enough for 2 large trash cans+ for dump runs.

Way too loose on street bumps-pot holes hurt!

My mechanic says " I'll tell you what to do about the window- run across the street to Toyota..."
