2002 Isuzu Rodeo S review from North America
"Just the right size, style and price for me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After almost three years of ownership, the vehicle has performed very well and I have had nothing go wrong except for my current and only visit for repair. The problem: the fog lights fill with water while driving in the rain. When I tried to take the back off to replace a bulb, the plastic crumbled and fell apart. When I took it to the dealer for warranty replacement, I was told that these units were not under warranty as they are considered non-Isuzu parts. The lights came with the car and were listed on the factory window sticker as components of the "Sport Appearance Package". The sales person and his manager certainly made no mention that some items on the factory window sticker are not covered under the full car warranty.
General comments?
Do these people understand that consumers have the power to vote on products with their checkbooks? If I cannot trust the warranty to cover a little thing like fog lights, I'm not sure that I can trust it when something major breaks. Goodbye Isuzu!
