THIS ISUZU RODEO HAS GONE THROUGH 4 TRANSMISSIONS IN THE PAST 1 YEAR AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE IS GOING BAD. I HAVE PUT OVER $3000.00 INTO THIS VEHICLE AND IT STILL IS HAVING PROBLEMS. I HAVE TALKED TO ABOUT 10 PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEMS HERE IN THE OLYMPIA AREA. THE COTTMAN TRANSMISSION COMPANY GAVE ME A WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME IT IS SOMETHING ELSE BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION. THEY TELL ME NOW THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME A WARRANTY ON THIS ITEM SINCE IT IS AN ELECTRICAL UNIT.. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS CONSTANT PROBLEM? THE VEHICLE IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT $3000.00 AND NOW I HAVE OVER THAT JUST INTO THE TRANSMISSION.. COTTMAN WILL PUT THE SECOND TCM IN FOR ANOTHER 1000.00 AND HE SAID IF THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD AGAIN ALSO THE WARRANTY IS VOID BECAUSE OF AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. WHICH MEANS I WILL HAVE TO REBUILD THE TRANS. AGAIN AND IT WILL COST ANOTHER 1500.00 - 2500.00. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Are you having problems with your 1992 Isuzu Rodeo?
Tyrique O'Conner 2024-11-14
I can tell you that I absolutely love this vehicle! Out of all the cars I've owned, this one is definitely my favorite. It's so much fun to drive and I can always count on it to get me where I need to go. I plan on keeping this car for as long as possible!
Kristoffer Kerluke 2024-10-13
This is great to hear! It sounds like you had a lot of fun with your Isuzu over the 8 years you owned it. It's always a shame when a reliable vehicle is discontinued, especially one that was so capable in 4WD. Thank you for sharing your positive experience!
Jaylin Nienow 2024-08-14
Your truck sounds amazing! With over 200,000 miles and almost no major repairs, it's clear that it's been well taken care of. At 160,000 miles, it did need a new clutch, but that's to be expected with such a reliable vehicle. The motor is all original (minus spark plugs and oil) and has never been rebuilt. The body is rust-free and still has its original paint. You've owned it for 10 years, making it the longest-lasting vehicle you've ever had. Although you wish it had a little more power, you still love this truck. It has never left you stranded, and you've even towed quite a bit with it, always getting you home. That's the kind of reliability we all look for in a vehicle!
Issac D'Amore 2024-07-13
When you first bought this car, you loved it, and you still love it now. It is definitely one of the best SUVs of its time. You have only experienced very minor problems over the years. One of them was the freeze plugs rusting, but your son fixed it in his autoshop class for only $5. The engine now has 176k miles on it, and it still runs like it did when you drove it off the lot.
Clint Crooks 2024-05-26
I've had this vehicle since 6000 miles and I'm happy to report that I've experienced very few issues with it.
