Used Isuzu Rodeo for Sale

Isuzu is out of business so no brand original parts are available. There was a recall for a short time for rust on the frame. The ride is rough. The lift gate is in 2 pieces- the window goes up and the bottom goes to the side. It cannot be opened all in one movement. There is no center seatbelt in the rear seat and there is no 3rd row.

2 Wheel drive only(this model) and sealed transmission, you can't just check your transmission fluid, you have to take it to someone for that, which is annoying, it's a rear wheel drive suv, so it's a little squirmy on snow if your not putting stuff in the back to weight the rear wheels down

The primary complaint I have heard about this vehicle is rust problems. Before I bought the vehicle, several spots on the frame had to be welded and sandwich plated to keep the frame intact, although the welded spots should be stronger than the original frame now. There is still a great deal of noticeable rust and there is a tiny spot on the top of the car where water drips through during strong rain. The transmission also idles high at times and occasionally the check engine light comes on, though no problems could be diagnosed by a mechanic. The starter is my main concern at this point because it usually takes several tries to start the vehicle. This tends to waste gas and I plan on having this addressed soon. Other problems were related to the previous accident the it was in, and it currently needs new bearings and sway bar links. The suspension will likely have to be replaced soon as well because it takes more impact from the sway bar links being damaged. As far as personal preference, I am not a big fan of leather interior because it gets hot during the summer. However the vehicle does cool down quickly so this has not been much of an issue.
