2000 Isuzu Rodeo Owner Comments

problem #10

Rodeo 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 52,000 miles

Bought used 2000 Isuzu Rodeo 2 years ago only having 30,000 miles on it, since I bought it I have put oil in it about every 2 weeks, no leaks, just always seeming to be low. A week ago it just stopped, towing it to a garage only to find out it lost oil pressure which caused it to stop. The end result is it needs a new engine and it only has 50,000 miles on it. I do not have 7000 dollars to fix this problem and am at a loss as to what to do, on top of a car payment on top of it. Is there any recall or help I can get from the manufacturer?

We are constantly adding oil to the vehicle within a months time no oil will measure on the dipstick and there are no signs of leakage. When the truck reaches over 50mph the vehicle vibrates and pulls to the right everytime
