1996 Isuzu Rodeo review from North America
"Best all around SUV I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The back door latches got rusty and the doors would not open so I dismantled the doors and replaced the latches.
General comments?
This is a great vehicle, has plenty of power, and I average 18 miles per gallon.
There is one problem with the automatic transmission that nobody has been able to figure out. When the outside temperature drops below 20 degrees, the "Check Transmission" light comes on when I start it in the morning and I have to shift the transmission manually all the way to work. After work, the light is not on and the transmission works perfectly. This condition has existed for the last 60,000 miles.
