1999 Isuzu Rodeo 4wd LSE review from North America
"Probably the best SUV on the market"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gas gauge has a mind of its own. When full, it reads correctly. After about 50 miles into a tank of gas, It fluctuates from empty to about half a tank. About 90 miles into a tank of gas it falls to empty and stays there until I fill up. This started to happen at 90k miles and it is too expensive to fix.
I have heard this problem from many Subaru/Isuzu customers. They should do something about it.
General comments?
Other than the gas gauge, this SUV has proven very reliable. I would definitely consider buying another Isuzu.
The car runs extremely well. I think if you take basic car for your car (ex. change oil on time) and perform scheduled maintenance on time, you should have no problem at all with this vehicle.
I think I will keep this car until it dies.
