I took the dealer Isuzu to lemon law and I was told it works as designed. The jury was so stupid it was un believable, they all came up to my wife and I and said make sure you take the car to the dealers to get it fixed. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh isn't that why I am here in court? good luck people are stupid and we are stuck driving an unsafe care because consumer reports will not get involved. Lemon cars for sale any Isuzu cheap (related vehicle information: Model year=2000, make=Isuzu, model=Rodeo).

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

Front end shakes violently at all times, vehicle is hard to operate. Vehicle has been in over 5 times for same problem. Isuzu representative had steering column tightened which did not remedy problem. The steering freezes up at times after hitting a bump. Nlm consumer states at speeds of 45 mph the back wheels vibrate up and down, they do not stay in contact with the road, the front wheels also tend to squirm left to right at these speeds, the problem tends to get worse the longer the vehicle is driven.
