2002 ISUZU AXIOM Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED. THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

I AM DRIVING THIS CAR FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS NOW - BUT UNFORTUNATELY I STILL DO NOT HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE DRIVING THIS CAR IN A RAINY WEATHER. I ALREADY HAD THREE ACCIDENTS IN A RAINY WEATHER AND THE SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING WERE AS LOW AS 5 MPH.*AK I THINK THERE IS WEIGHT ISSUE AT THE BACK END OF THE CAR. DRIVING IN A RAINY WEATHER IS LIKE A NIGHTMARE. I CHECKED WITH OTHER THREE AXIOM OWNERS AND ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME ISSUE/CONCERN. ALL TEH OTHER FEATURES ARE JUST PERFECT FOR ME. WHEN TALKED WITH THE DEALER THEY JUST COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. FOR PROVING IT TO THEM I HAD TO BE A GOOD VEDIOGRAPHER AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO RECORD THE PATTERN IN A PARKING LOT OR SOMETHING. I NEED HELP ON THIS AND WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST TO THE OTHER PEOPLE TO LOG-IN A SKIDDING COMPLAINT IF THEY REALLY FACE IT AS I WANT IT TO BE A RECALL ISSUE IF AL OF THEM ARE FACING IT. BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS CAR I ALREADY HAD 4 YRS OF SUV DRIVING EXPERIENCE.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS OUT WITH OUT ANY WARNING. THIS CAUSES THE LOSS OF STEERING, AND BRAKE EQUIPMENT. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED SIX TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. *MR

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT, ONCE BUCKLED, WILL ONLY RETRACT AND BECOMES DIFFICULT TO RELEASE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR TWICE, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK *SC

I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, WHERE THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK AND THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THERE WERE NOT ANY ROAD CONDITIONS THAT SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS VEHICLE FROM STANDING STILL. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF HITTING A ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE SIDE BODY. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND ISUZU AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT A BRAND NEW CAR CRASHING, MALFUNCTIONING INJURING ME AND MY GRAND DAUGHTER. THE ONLY RESPONSE I GOT FOR ISUZU, WAS INQUIRING ABOUT ME PURCHASING A NEW CAR, WHEN THE SALESMAN FOUND OUT THAT I HAD GAAP INSURANCE AND THEY WOULD BE PAID OFF FOR THE OTHER CAR. NO ONLY AM I FURIOUS ABOUT THE ISUZU CUSTOMER SERVICE I STILL HAVE ONE OF THESE AWFUL CARS, THE DAY AFTER I PURCHASED MY ISUZU AXIOM, MY WIFE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW ONE TOO. I HOPE SHE LIVES TO TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN FOR SOMETHING RELIABLE.

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, ALL FOUR WHEELS LOCKED UP.*AK

BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATED WHEN DEPRESSED WHILE GOING DOWN AN INCLINE. WHEN THIS OCCURRED VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. THIS RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT NO FAILURE CODE WAS FOUND. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT, DRIVER LOST CONTROL AND HIT A GUARD RAIL. UPON IMPACT, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. GOODYEAR, SIZE P235/65R17, DOT# UNKNOWN. CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRE, BUT HIS SON RAN OVER SOMETHING AND BLEW THE TIRE. *AK

ISUZU AXIOM 2002. MY WIFE WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO JAMES RIVER FREEWAY IN SPRINGFIELD, MO FROM HWY 65 N. IT WAS RAINING BUT HER SPEED WAS LESS THAN 40 MPH. SHE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE INTO THE TRAFFIC PATTERN AND THE SUV SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND SENT US DOWN A BOULDER EMBEDDED EMBANKMENT OF ABOUT 30 FEET. THE SUV BOUNCED OVER THE BOULDERS AND CAME TO A REST AT THE BOTTOM OF THE INCLINE. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE OUT, TWO RUINED TIRES, AND THE FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY RIPPED FROM THE FRAME. MY COMPLAINT IS THIS: THERE WAS NO PRACTICAL REASON FOR THE SUV TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. THE SUV HAS ONLY 45,000 MILES ON IT. I THINK THERE IS TOO MUCH TORQUE FOR THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. *LA

CAR VIBRATES AT HWY SPEEDS (USUALLY AROUND 70 MPH). HAVE HAD TIRES BALANCED 7 TIMES, TIRES REPLACED, FRONT BEARINGS REPACKED, ALIGNMENT ADJUSTED. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.*AK
