| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Extremely excessive oil consumption on isuzu rodeo 1999 model. had the same problem with isuzu rodeo 2000 model. fortunately i dont have to deal with the 2000 model any more as it has been totaled byt my insurance company due to improper repair after a collision in march of 2005. i did not know that the 1999 isuzu rodeo had the same problem until my son who drove the suv brought it back to me two weeks ago, as he is in the military and is deploying to iraq. it seems that the vehicle spent more time at the dealership getting repaired than being on the road. my son asked me to get rid of it as he is tired dealing with all the problems this car had. upon his arrival i noticed the car low on oil and i added two quarts. my son informed me that he had just changed oil prior leaving grand forks afb in nd and driving to norman, ok. after driving for 5 days i checked oil level and it was again two quarts low, after only driving 300 miles. i then decided to inquire on the web for similar incidents, and i could not believe the quantity of people with the same problem with their isuzus. in addition, one of my co-workers isuzu trooper engine was damaged due to the same problem in 2004. i found this site trough searching the internet for similar issues. in addition i called the dealership where i purchased my 2000 isuzu and have been informed that isuzu is aware of the issue but no buletin or recall has been issued, and that it is not considered a problem at this time. i keep my cars well maintained, and check my pcv and egr valves on a regular basis. i perform most of my car maintenance myself and use the best porducts on the market. with so many of us affected with the same condition on our isuzu's is isuzu/gm going to be held accountable for a bad product they know they have, or are we as consumers having to pay the bill for their inferior engines installed in these suv's. avery dissatisfied and frustrated and never to be again isuzu owner. jr |
