Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I purchased a used 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Sport in june 2005. The very next week I had to bring the vehicle back to carmax due to the check engine light appearing throughout the day. They insisted it was just my gas cap not working properly. My transmission had to be replaced not even 1 year after owning the vehicle. For the last year my check engine, transmission and cruise control lights appear when I hit a bump, then the vehicle completely dies out. This happens about 15 times a day. I've come very close to being hit by others many times due to this issue. …”
