General comments?
I love my Rodeo... and got it brand new with a 120K mile power-train warranty, which has helped since so much has gone wrong with it.
My family has 4 Rodeo's in all and the 2001 model has been more of a lemon than any of them.However, out of the 4, model years 1998-2002, all of the gas gauges went out before 70k miles.
I was VERY disappointed with the apparent policies regarding repairs. If a transmission goes bad, under warranty, and you are without a vehicle, I feel that a loaner car should be provided. I was out over $600 in rental car fees at Christmas because they had to order a transmission and then the holidays closed down the dealership.
I would have a difficult time recommending this vehicle to someone.
