1998 ISUZU AMIGO Complaints

NO DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG DURING FRONT END COLLISION RESULTED IN DRIVER NECK INJURY.

THE GAS PEDAL SNAPPED OFF, I HADN'T EVEN DRIVEN THE TRUCK TEN MILES. HAD TO HAVE A NEW GAS PEDAL PUT ON TRUCK.

FUEL GAUGE VERY INACCURATE. REGISTERS FULL UNTIL ALMOST EMPTY, THEN DROPS SUDDENLY.

WHILE BRAKING DOWNHILL I HIT A BUMP AND THE PEDAL MOVED TOWARD THE FLOOR. STOPPING DISTANCE SEEMED TO INCREASE MORE THAN I SUSPECTED. IF THERE HAD BEEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME I MAY HAVE HIT IT. *AK

GAS GAUGE READS FULL UNTIL TANK IS NEARLY AT 1/2. THEN WILL RUN OUT OF GAS AT AROUND 1/8 TO 1/4 SHOWING ON THE GAUGE. *AK

GAS GUAGE READS FULL UNTIL TANK IS APPROXIMATELY 1/2 EMPTY. LESS THAN 1 GALLON READS 1/4 TANK ON GUAGE. DEALER REFERRED MY 1998 PROBLEM TO TSB SB97-02-L009, A 1997 TSB REGARDING THE ISUZU RODEO MODEL AND A DIFFERENT SYMPTOM. DEALER'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO WAIT UNTIL ISUZU SOLVES THE 1997 TSB. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 1998 AMIGO OWNERS CAN BE SEEN AT HTTP://FORUMS.VMAG.COM/SUVAMIGO0199. *AK

ON FEB 4 IT WAS SEND TO DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME. STILL TODAY, NO CONTACT BY THE DEALER AND NO CAR YET. IMMEDIATELY AFTER FIRST PROBLEM,CONTACTED ISUZU. TO PROVIDE ALL INFORMATION AS REQUESTED BY THEM AND NO CONTACT FROM THEIR PART. I WOULD LIKE WHAT I PAID FOR, A NEW CAR OR MONEY BACK. THANKS FOR YOU HELP AND CONTACTING ME BACK

WHEN APPLYING THE ABS BRAKES ON DRY PAVEMENT THE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH RESULTED IN A COLLISION. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

MOON ROOF COVER CLIPS FELL OFF, CAUSING MOON ROOF TO FALL OFF. ADHESIVE ON CLIPS LOSE HOLDING ABILITY IN HEAT. (QCAW)

WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH THE SUN ROOF COVER FELL ON DRIVER'S HEAD. DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND ALMOST CRASHED. THE SUN ROOF WAS REPLACED 4 TIMES, AND THE SUN ROOF CLIPS HAVE BEEN GLUED AT LEAST 6 TIMES BY DEALER. *AK *SLC
