2001 Isuzu Rodeo review from North America
"So I had to put $900 on a 45000 mile vehicle. Are you insane???"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My SUV has 45.000 miles and all ready I had:
A. My engine light went on, because of the gas sensor in the gas tank.
Problem solved by the dealer and warranty (22.000 miles).
B. Rattle in the motor, the dealer said that was a design problem and some intake was replaced. Still on warranty (25.000 miles)
C. My engine light went on again, and this time it was the transaxle firing thing.
This was not cover by the warranty and they wanted $400 at the dealer, Thanks to a mechanic friend it was only $89. (32.000 miles)
D. My clutch dies, but this time it was the hydraulics, which is another $230 (40.000 miles)
E. My A/C compressor goes and that is a big $600 at (45.000 miles)
General comments?
I have a manual Isuzu Rodeo, which comes with a four cylinder motor, that in my opinion is too small for the chassis of the SUV.
It’s a dependable vehicle that looks really GOOD and I love it, but as everything that I really love is always giving me a headache.
