ISUZU Complaints

I HAVE A 2003 ISUZU AXIOM 4X4 AND IN MARCH, 2014 I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. AND AS A RESULT I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I HAVE LESS THEN 98,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

RE: 2001 ISUZU RODEO LS RUSTED FRAME TO TRAIL ARM BRACKET CAN CAUSE FRAME TO SNAP AT REAR OF VEHICLE CAUSING POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL IF TRAVELING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT 55-65 MPH. THIS SUV IS WORTHLESS ON THE MARKET. ISUZU SHOULD BE HELD FULL ACCOUNTABILITY. ALSO THE SUV HAS HAD DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE DUE TO DEFECTIVE DESCENDING UNIT IN GAS TANK WHICH NO RECALL WAS NEVER MADE. YET 1 OUT OF EVERY 7-8 ISUZU HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ON JULY 22, 2010, I PURCHASED A 2002 ISUZU AXIOM FOR MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER, FROM ALAM, THE OWNER AND OPERATOR OF A CARS 4-U, LOCATED ON 3503 HILLCROFT STREET SUITE B, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77057. UPON THE PURCHASE, ALAM, THE OWNER AND OPERATOR OF A CARS 4-U URGED ME TO PURCHASE A PENN WARRANTY, BUT I COULD NOT, SO HE PURCHASED IT. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING STEERING PROBLEMS, SHIFTING GEARS, AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEMS, AUTOMATIC DOOR AND WINDOW PROBLEMS ETC. HE TOLD ME TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER BRING IT IN BUT, SHE REFUSED TO BECAUSE HE WAS ALWAYS HARASSING HER ASKING HER TO GO OUT TO LUNCH WITH HIM, SO I TOOK IT BACK TO HIM AND HE SAID, "THAT'S WHY I TOLD YOU TO PURCHASE A WARRANTY". TWO HOURS LATER, HE TOLD ME THAT THE MECHANICS CHECKED OUT THE VEHICLE AND THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. AS SOON AS I RETURNED HOME,I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SO, THE NEXT DAY, I TOOK IT TO TWO OTHER MECHANICS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING RACK AND PINION AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I THEN CONTACTED ALAM, THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND TOLD HIM THAT I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO OTHER MECHANICS AND TOLD HIM WHAT THEY SAID. HIS RESPONSE WAS, "LET THE WARRANTY TAKE CARE OF IT". ALAM, THE DEALERSHIP TOOK ME TO ANOTHER ONE OF HIS MECHANIC'S THAT WORKED ON ALL OF HIS VEHICLES, WHOSE SHOP LOCATED ON 4208 MANGUM RD. STE.8 CALLED AUTOTECH COLLISION EXECUTIVE AUTO, I TRIED TO WAIT FOR THEM TO TEST DRIVE IT BUT ALAM BEGAN TO ENGAGE IN IMPROPER CONVERSATIONS, AND MAKING IMPROPER BODILY AND HAND GESTERS SO I LEFT. AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER WEEK LATER, I CALLED TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE VEHICLE,THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHY WERE THE LAST TWO YEARS OF PRODUCTION(2003-2004) OF THESE VEHICLES NOT RECALLED TO BE TREATED TO SLOW RUSTING COMPONENTS IN THE UNDERCARRIAGE/FRAME ON ALL ISUZU RODEOS, HONDA PASSPORTS AND ISUZU AXIOMS. ALTHOUGH A LIMITED PRODUCTION, THE FINAL TWO YEARS ARE STILL GOING TO FAIL FROM SALT/CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2004. IT WAS ADVERTISED AS BEING FROM NORTH CAROLINA. I LATER DISCOVERED THE OWNER ALSO LIVED AND USED THE VEHICLE FOR MOST OF IT'S ROAD USE IN NEW YORK AND MASSACHSETTS. IT TOO HAS HAD A LARGE DOSE OF ROAD CHEMICALS. THE RECALL CURRENTLY CALLS FOR ISUZU TO INSPECT AND APPLY A RUST PREVENTIVE COATING TO SLOW/DELAY CORROSION THAT WILL CAUSE THE FRAME TO FAIL. WHY NOT INCLUDE ALL OF THESE FRAMES IN THE SAFETY RECALL? THE EXISTING ISUZU DEALER NETWORK IS EXITING THE AUTOMOTIVE MARKET. IF THE LAST TWO PRODUCTION YEARS FAIL IN A YEAR OR TWO, THERE WILL NOT BE A DEALER NETWORK THAT WILL SERVICE AN ISUZU PRODUCT. *TR

WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID, WE NEVER HAD A RECALL. THAT WE HAD TO CALL ISUZU COMPANY ..

I OWN A 1998 HONDA PASSPORT, I BOUGHT IT IN 2008, AND WAS UNAWARE OF THE RUSTING PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AT ALL BECAUSE OF THE RUST ON THE FRAME, AND THE AXLES. THAT THE TRUCK IS NOT AT ALL SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE RUST OF THE FRAME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE GAS TANK IS ALSO ROTTING OUT, BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH RUST UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK ON THE FRAME. I DID PAY A MECHANIC TO FIX SOME OF THE FRAME,AND AXLE TO WELD SOME NEW METAL ONTO THE FRAME, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP IN THE INSPECTION PROCESS, THE TRUCK STILL FAILED TO PAS INSPECTION. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE NO WAY TO FIX IT, OR DRIVE IT. *TR

I OWN A 2006 ISUZU I 280 THAT HAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL ON 5-29-07 AND THE NEW PART FAILED ON 3-26-2010. ARE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS SUPPOSED TO FAIL IN 3 YEARS? DO I HAVE ANY LEGAL RIGHT TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED AGAIN AT NO COST TO ME?

SPENT 2800 FOR NEW TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION REPLACED 2X ON 2003 ISUZU AXIOM. *TR

I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. 1. SERVO VALVE 12/2005, 2. DOOR LOCK, 2005, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, GAS METER PROBLEMS, REPLACE GAS TANK 1/2008, 3. REPLACE ALTERNATOR 9/2008, NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING NOR IS MY EGR AND EVAP SENSOR. I ONLY HAVE 58,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. ALSO ONE OF THE OEM BRAKE PADS FALL OUT OF THE HOLDING BRACKET AND GOT STUCK BETWEEN THE CALIPER AND THE ROTOR. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS SUV. *TR

THE ALARM GOES OFF ANYTIME THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 30 DEGREES. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IF THE CAR IS LOCKED. KEEPING THE CAR UNLOCKED IN COLD WEATHER IS THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. OUR NEIGHBORS WOULD DISAGREE WHEN IT IS HONKING AWAY AT 2 IN THE MORNING! DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ANY OTHER 2001 RODEO SPORTS? *TR
