2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport 4x4 review from North America

Since I've owned my Rodeo Sport, I've had the following problems:

1) Check Engine light came on @ 24,000 - it took the dealer 2 times to figure it was something wrong with the wiring inside the engine. They kept the truck for 8 hours to repair.

2) The instrument cluster lights have stopped working for the temperature adjustment knob. I have to turn on my map lights to see what temperature setting I have it set.

3) The CD changer has been replaced twice because it's a piece of crap. The wonderful 6-disc in-dash CD changer is crappy!

4) Every time I turn a corner, it feels like the truck is going to fall apart. I don't know what it is, but any sharp turns gives this horrible knocking sound. Ironically enough it never happens when the dealership test drives it. Go-figure?

I think that's all for now, but wait I'm sure more will occur soon.

If you want an Isuzu for the great price and cool things they have - go for it at your own risk. I've driven two Honda's (93 Accord and 99 Prelude) and should have never traded for the Rodeo Sport.

I guess their run has ended since they no longer make them. For the love - I just can't win! Otherwise, have a great day. Again - Buyer Beware!
