1995 Isuzu Rodeo review from North America
"Awesome body style somewhat comfy, but underpowered"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
What things have gone wrong...
I replaced my alternator at 130,000 miles.
It burns about a quart of oil every 1,200 miles and sometime smokes when first started in the morning.
My belts squeal every time I start the rig, but only for a sec.
My a/c stopped working since about 140,000, I have recharged the system, all of system seems to work properly just no cold air?
I've replaced all my door handles from plastic to metal, due to the locks falling into the door.
Truck has pretty good pick-up for its weight/power-plant, but doggish on long hills.
The four wheel drive works awesome, but unlocking the hubs seems to be a hassle.
(auto hubs)
Its been a good truck and has been very reliable. it's a very good family rig.
For everyone that has to slam there rear glass doors... try to squirt some WD-40 in the latch, worked for me.
General comments?
Handle very good for an SUV. I've taken some pretty tough corners at excessive speeds and..well... in still driving it.
