problem #10

Sep 122005

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?
