The contact owns a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo. While driving between 25-30 mph, the engine began making noise and smoking before it completely failed. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic, who stated that the engine was destroyed. There is a NHTSA campaign id number 94V132000 (engine and engine cooling:engine), but it did not apply to the vehicle model year. The mechanic stated that the engine needed to be replaced. The current and failure mileages were 124,506.

The engine made a loud noise. At 10K miles, the noise was noticeable. The technicians stated the problem was normal and there was no problem. The noise gradually worsened. A buzz noise was heard when making the left turn signal was used. The combo switch was replaced due to a short. Also the heater blower motor made a noise as well. The engine smoked at times, died and when restarted it did not run properly. The sunroof drains were draining into the rocker panels and caused water to overflow onto the driver's floor. The trim panel on the rear door was deformed. Scc

Engine valves are clicking constantly. Consumer states clicking is caused by faulty hydraulic lifters, the lifter orifice is too small in the 1995 model. Vehicle does not have oil pressure or has very little while idling, timing chain was replaced, dealer informed consumer to use 0-30 weight oil to correct noise in the valves, however the oil change did not help, engine sounds like a thrashing machine. Tailgate actuator spring was replaced. Window cable mechanism in right front door panel was replaced. Lock on the left rear door would lock, however would have to be unlocked manually.

I took my Isuzu Rodeo to have the rocker arm noise fixed. After picking up the car having already done the left side of the motor and no the right.....the idle never has been the same..car has been in on 5 times now for a total of 13 days. They cant figure it out. Told me until the idle is up all the time they cant fix it...they just dont know what it is.
