THE RIGHT TAILGATE CABLE ON MY 1997 ISUZU HOMBRE XS PICKUP TRUCK BROKE. THE LEFT TAILGATE CABLE ON MY PICKUP TRUCK BROKE LAST YEAR. LUCKILY, IT DID NOT CAUSE INJURY. THIS MODEL WAS MADE BY CHEVROLET (IT''S SISTER MODEL IS THE CHEVY S-10). I UNDERSTAND THE FULL-SIZE PICKUPS BY CHEVROLET HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

MY ISUZU WINDSHIELD WIPER RECALL. I HAVE GONE TO ISUZU MANY TIMES TO GET THESE WIPERS FIXED CAUSE THEY TURN OFF WHEN I HAVE THEM ON. THESE PEOPLE STATE THAT THEY DIDNT THINK THERE WERE A LOT OF CARS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED SO THEY DIDNT ORDER A LOT OF PARTS. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND IT STINKS THAT THE WIPERS DONT WORK HALF THE TIME. I WORK AT NIGHT SO IT GETS HARD TO SEE WHEN IT IS RAINING AND THE WIPERS ARE TURNING ON AND OFF. IT IS NOW FEBRUARY AND THEY STILL WONT HELP ME. THIS IS GETTING REDICULUS. IF THIS IS A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD THEN WHY ISNT IT FIXED YET?*AK

CONSUMER WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT FANS THAT SPLIT AND BREAK APART. THIS OCCURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. FANS WERE BEING REPLACED EVERY 30,000 MILES TO 40,000 MILES. MANUFACTURER REPLACED THE RADIATOR, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE THE FANS OR THE FAN CLUTCH. *AK 1997 ISUZU HOMBRE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE FAN AND ENGINE FAN CLUTCH. WHEN CONSUMER WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE FAN FELL OFF THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE. DEALER TOLD CONSUMER THAT THE FAN FELL OFF BECAUSE THE TENSION PULLEY BROKE. THE DEALER MADE THE CONSUMER PAY FOR A NEW ONE IN ADDITION TO THE PAYMENT FOR THE FAN THAT WAS PURCHASED AND INSTALLED THE DAY BEFORE. *MR *NM

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM, RESULTING IN POOR VISIBILITY, AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. RECALL 03V210000 WAS ISSUED FOR WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. *AK *MR

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR RECALL 03V210000 REPAIRS CONCERNING WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED. CONSUMER HAD CALLED SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE PARTS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE.*AK

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN RECALL#03V210000 CONCERNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL, DUE TO VIN. *AK *TS *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN WITHOUT ANY NOTICE AT ALL. HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND GET OUT IN THE RAIN AND TRAFFIC TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY THING I COULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. COULD NOT FIX THEM SO I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THEY WANTED TO WORK TO FINISH DRIVING TO WORK.. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK WHEN T H E Y WANT TO , THIS CAN BE VERY HAZARDOUS AT NIGHT OR DAY IN THE RAIN..I CHECKED ISUZU AND NO RECALLS AS OF 07-17-2003. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BY THE DEALERS IR COMPANY'S. *JB THANK YOU DAVID L. BAREFOOT
