1999 Isuzu Rodeo LS review from North America
"Disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
70,000...Fuel tank indicator out
107,000...A/C compressor out.
General comments?
1 belt drives all components. Once a/c compressor goes, have to replace or face breakdown. Very expensive compressor. If new, most likely will have to replace other components to get warranty. $2800 to fix. I made mistake of replacing with used compressor. Didn't make another 4000 miles before used compressor broke down. Had car serviced every 3000 miles, timing belt replaced at 100,000. Had design of keeping it another 60,000.
Now got to car shop.
