2001 Isuzu Rodeo LS from North America - Comments

Bought 2001 Rodeo in 2005 with 43,000 miles.

Currently at 168,000 miles.

Frame rusted badly at rear suspension lower control arm mounts.

Pennsylvania winters?? Planning to trade for a minivan before the inspection runs out...

Camshaft ticking noise, smell of antifreeze with no noticeable source... have replaced plastic lower intake manifold gaskets 6 times due to backfires while starting blowing them out.

Replaced starter contact tabs ($40 fix! great way to cure THAT problem!)

A/C condenser fan seized, no more A/C.

Exhaust flex pipe rotted in half... local muffler shop fixed that up for less than $200.

Fuel level sending unit is bad... the list goes on.

I have a '92 Mercury Grand Marquis with over 360,000 miles on it. I replaced the ball joints once, and it needs an alignment.

That's it. Rodeo - 2001 - 168,000 miles... laundry list of issues.

Mercury - 1992 - 360,000+ miles... Ball joints.

It just doesn't add up. Maybe we bought a flood vehicle that had been title-washed??
