2000 Isuzu Rodeo LS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went out at 79,000 miles.
Replaced a wire that they had to remove the transmission to replace.
General comments?
Great small SUV. Love this vehicle, it has a strong engine.
Replaced tranny and put in a tranny oil cooling system Hopefully the tranny will last.
Put new shocks all around.
Front EBS performance brakes with 20 inch rims. I want be able to stop. Got 275/45/20 rubs on the front, but not that bad.
Everything on this vehicle is a Honda, and they even made a supercharger for this vehicle; hopefully one day the wife will allow me to purchase it.
I'll drive this SUV till the wheels fall off. It's cheaper to get it fixed than paying monthly car payments
At 85,000 miles it's a dependable vehicle to drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles on a round trip without any problems
