PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE TIME AFTER TIME,1997 ISUZU RODEO WHICH COSTING ME ABOUT 24000.00 DOLLARS WITH HIGH INTEREST,NOW PROBLEM WITH CRANK SHAFT STICKING OUT ABOUT 1 AND A HALF INCHES WHEN YOU MASH DOWN ON CLUTCH IN WHICH SERVICE MECHANICS SAY IT SHOULD NOT DO,AND THAT IT IS COMING OUT TOO MUCH. ABS LIGHT STAYS ON,TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE LIKE THE VALVES. CAN NOT PAY ON IT GOOD BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS SPENDING MONEY TO TRY TO KEEP IT RUNNING. PAYMENT OF 384.00 DOLLARS PER MONTH FOR 5 YEARS. PURCHASED FROM THOMSON GEORGIA JEEP AND DODGE DEALERSHIP. BURNING OUT ALTERNATORS WHICH COST ME OVER 180.00 DOLLARS TWICE,COUPLE OF STARTERS,PICK-UP SWITCH,REAR END SQUEAKING,CRANK AND CAM SENSORS. IT HAS BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER AND I DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO KEEP SPENDING ON REPAIRS AND TRY TO MAKE PAYMENTS.
