Rodeo 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 82,381 miles
Two weeks after buying a used car, it started making a noise and on the way to the mechanic the fan belt broke. After they fixed the fan belt (about a week after) the engine froze. The used car lot that the consumer bought the car from said she could not bring the car to them because she did not have an extended warranty, and they did not offer an extended warranty. The manufacturer of vehicle will not help. She has no money to get it fixed and she can' T take her father to the doctor.

The engine overheated with only 53,000 miles of very easy driving and regular maintenance. Needs major repairs and have replaced lug nuts every time tires are rotated etc.
