1998 Isuzu Rodeo LX review from North America
"Safe vehicle, just love the Rodeo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My rear axle seals leaking, had one replaced cost a fortune.
Rattling noise from rear, had washer replaced as dealer informed me of the recall problem. Had it fixed and noise came back soon after. Not a big deal, just annoying.
Rear wiper motor replaced at 50,000 miles.
General comments?
I really love my Rodeo, I is sad that it is no longer being manufactured. It has kept me safe in the blizzards of Colorado. I would say that tire rotation and oil changes, all upkeeps are so important to keeping the vehicle in shape. Rodeo looks great and is high enough off the ground to not get stuck in snow and ice. Rear seats fold down to give great space when needed. Upholstery is not wearing too well, parts ordered are hard to get from the dealership. Overall it was a great buy for me. Would love to know if I have any outstanding warranties on the vehicle, how would I find this info.
