Motor replacement after 6k miles
Transmission replacement after 1st day of driving
Replaced the entire 4WD transfer case and torque converter
Replaced both catalytic converters
Replaced entire wiring harness
Replace both O2 sensors
Replace muffler and flex pipe
Replaced APP sensor on the gas pedal
Replace the EGR sensor and cleaned out the vacuum lines
Repacked the front bearings
Replaced a bent rim
This totals about $6,000.00. The truck is worth half of that!!!
I have an extended warranty that took care of the motor and trans, and I'm dealing with the rest.
Some of these replaced and repaired items were most likely due to the previous owners negligence.
HOWEVER, I have a very strong feeling that no matter HOW well one cared for this vehicle, these problems would manifest anyhow! Based off of the majority of other reviews.
The vehicle currently has 94,000 miles on the odometer.
I bought it used at 85,000.
So now, I now own a NEW Isuzu Rodeo that is worth a fraction of what I just spent on it.
A TOTAL DISASTER AND YOU SHOULD AVOID THESE VEHICLES AT ALL COSTS!!!
Parts are proprietary and very expensive/hard to find. No other parts are compatible; ONLY Isuzu parts.
No other mechanic can read codes, only ISUZU dealers.
This is worse than any American car that I have ever owned (I live in America and work in rental cars, so that says a lot!!!)
That totally sucks. I have an 01, and other that the piece of crap GM 4L30E tranny that I had to replace, this is pound for pound one of the best trucks I've ever had, and I off road and beat mine up; 120k miles and no problems other than the trans.
