Hi everyone, I am thinking about buying Isuzu Rodeo 2000 with about 57,000 for a fairly good price. I don't know much about these cars and was told that they are exactly the same as Honda Passport. Would you recomend this car (it is always the best to get oppinion from the people who own one and not a sales rep in the dealership)? I drive 30K a year and need an SUV because of the job. Thanks for you help. |

Replying to: doughead (Sep 03, 2005 9:37 am) I am also experiencing transmission problems. When starting the car in the morning or after it has sat for a period of time the car seem to lurch forward or other times jerks. It also seems like the tires are kinda of skidding( like when you slam on the brakes too hard. I am in the process of selling it and want to be sure it runs okay before I do that. |

Howdy, 1995.5 Isuzu Rodeo LS, < 120 K miles, Manual(Stick Shift), Single owner. I bought 1995.5 Isuzu Rodeo LS in Dallas Texas in January 1996. I was a happy camper so far. It has exceeded my expectations for me for the past 9 years. I have done minimal maintenance on the car. This year looks really bad, now it is due for major repair. I am not an expert on any car issue. I need lot of help. Last week I started getting check engine light on intermittently. I am not sure why was that. AC would stop working whenever that light came on. Sadly I kept driving for couple of days rather than taking it to a local mechanic or to a dealership. Just yesterday car came to complete stop near intersections and traffic lights when I slowed down OR when that car is idling. Some how I got it started 3 times and came home. Also ALL of the engine lights near the speedometer would be on when it stopped. Engine noise does not sound smooth. Steering fluid is JUST below minimum. Radio also has stopped working. Also car is due for 120K mile service, (last major service was 60K). I am not sure what is going on. I have done oil changes fairly regularly. And I have not done any other service at all apart from them. Any tips or ideas, before I take it to mechanic. I will be taking to mechanic may be on Monday. I may have to get it towed. I do not feel comfortable driving it until major things are fixed. Here are some more details: Looks like lug nuts and its rods are made of soft metal or Sams Club or Walmart folks or my local mechanics who do the tire rotation messed it up by wrong threading or by using wrong power tools. Pretty much all of them have to be replaced. Expensive! Bear Joint and Valve cover needs replacement. Timing belt change done at 60K. Next one is due. Several times window up and down mechanism fixed Alternator switch fixed 3 times all tire changed No brake replacement done yet. 80% worn out. I have to replace them now. No shock replacement done yet. 100% worn out. Any ideas as which one to replace them with? It was always a rough ride for me from pretty much from day one. I accepted that as part of driving Rodeo. I really would prefer smoother ride. I am an NOT an off road driver at all. Near the back wheel, I think axle seal is leaking that needs to be fixed. I am afraid that has been the case for at least an year. Hopefully whole oil may not been drained? Speedometer light is broken, I heard it is little expensive to replace those, as one has to remove lot of stuff to get to them . Trunk glass door spring has stopped working. How do I find the replacement. Cassette player stopped working couple of years back. When do I do the following changes or fixes to these? Tension Water Pump Transmission Fluid Serpentine Head Gasket Coolant Fuel Filter Front and Back Differential Fluid Replace PCV Any ideas on these from the experts? Thanks in advance.

Hello, No screws on lenses, so how do you get in to change a brake light?

Replying to: britracer (Sep 10, 2005 6:27 pm) My 2000 Rodeo started behaving the same way about a month ago. Did you find any solution to your problem. Any suggestions? I had just replaced the AC compressor, and that would be wrong if I have to replace the transmission. Please reply whether you have good or bad news. Thanks.
