I bought a used 04 Isuzu rodeo. This vehicle had a clean car fax and only had apx 68000 miles. Unfortunately it broke down on the way home... It has in the two months since over 1200$ in repairs and is still not safe to drive. I have put less than 2000 miles on it because it will lose 20 mph in just a few seconds at highway speeds. When I first had problems there was oil in the spark plug tubes. I had thought a mechanic, perhaps one inspecting the vehicle had done this, someone had inspected the vehicle alright. They then cleaned oil out of the tubes. Then 35 miles from the dealer the oil started re filling the tubes forcing the coils to misfire and the vehicle to lose power and speed. This is an extremely unsafe intentional act caused by 'someone.' This was an inherent danger to my self and others on the interstate. This repair was over $400. It then caused a coil to fail, another $300. Then injectors needed cleaning and now we have emissions problems. There is no way the vehicle was sold in good faith, there is no way this vehicle developed these problems in the short time I have owned this vehicle.'Someone' intentionally sold an unsafe malfunctioning vehicle. Contacting Hatfield was met with an absurd response... We sold the vehicle in good faith... We will take a few percent off repair costs... I am over 100 miles away and would not trust the vehicle to a corner store let alone this distance. I would advise any and every one to steer clear of this dealer network. They did not just cover up a scratch in the paint or something minor, they literally endangered mine and others lives and I believe they knew they were doing so.
