2006 I purchased 1997 Isuzu Rodeo. Not long after we noticed engine made a ticking sound brought it to shop and found out there was no oil pressure. We had to have engine replaced it took about 2 months. They had to replace engine 2. first one they installed was also blown. Engine still ticks. There is also problems with the SUV wanting to accelerate while at a stop. Sometimes not even holding the break firm stops it from rolling. The heater core started leaking antifreeze into the vehicle. The replacement fee just for the part is $400. I have read many reports of airbags not deploying.

Problem with vehicle time after time,1997 Isuzu Rodeo which costing me about $24000 dollars with high interest, now problem with crank shaft sticking out about 1 and a half inches when you mash down on clutch in which service mechanics say it should not do, and that it is coming out too much. ABS light stays on, ticking sound coming from the engine like the valves. Can not pay on it good because I am always spending money to try to keep it running. Payment of $384 dollars per month for 5 years. Purchased from thomson Georgia Jeep and Dodge dealership. Burning out alternators which cost me over $180 dollars twice, couple of starters, pick-up switch, rear end squeaking, crank and cam sensors. It has been one problem after another and I do not have this kind of money to keep spending on repairs and try to make payments. Makes me wonder what was wrong with this vehicle before I bought it, and what its history was. Even has foul fume odors a lot.
