1999 Isuzu Rodeo LS from North America - Comments

"Fun to drive, but not to own!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

ABS Light would go on and off irregularly. A cracked ring in brake system was the cause.

Intake replaced, the vehicle was starting and immediately stalling.

Cannot shift from Park to Drive because brake sensor needs to be replaced.

Oil is always low.

Below items are current and vehicle is in the repair garage today:

A/C not working

Ticking noise from front tire area

Starter not working (having to repeatedly turn over to get started)

General comments?

This is my first foreign vehicle. I've heard such great things about foreign made vehicles. I've owned this Rodeo for a year and have had way too many problems with it. In one year so far we've spent over $1200 on repairs. Not including what todays garage appointment will bring.

I love the looks, power and handling of the Rodeo. But the lack of dependability of this vehicle makes it not worth owning.

You must have purchased a lemon to begin with. I own my rodeo LS since 2000 and mine is also a 1999. So far the only problem I had encountered was the ignition switch. Had that replaced and everything else is good. I wouldn't mine bying another isuzu if I were to look for one.

This car is made in Indiana! Not so foreign if you ask me!
