WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER TRIED TO RESTART VEHICLE, BUT OF NO AVAIL. CONSUMER HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE CONSUMER HAD TO REFILL THE VEHICLE WITH OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS PERTAINING TO THE OIL BURNING QUICKLY. THE MECHANIC DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *JB

EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW TO BE COVERED FOR FIVE YEARS OR 50,000 MILES. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE EMISSION TUBE/VALVE IS 90% BLOCKED, PLUS HAVE BEEN TOLD BY ISUZU INC. MY ISSUE DOESN'T FALL UNDER MY WARRENTY @ 25,255 MILES. EMS. TUBE MUST BE CLEANED BY DEALER FOR A COST OVER $200.00

THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED WITH TWO VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL BUT DIFFERENT YEARS. WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND FELT A THUMPING SENSATION IN THE PEDAL. WHEN THE THUMPING OCCURRED THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, THE CONSUMER HAD TO RIDE IN THE SHOULDER TO KEEP FROM COLLIDING WITH OTHER VEHICLES. *AK THE FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT A NORMAL SPEED SHE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS A THUMPING UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE FAILED STOP AND SLID PARTIALLY INTO AN INTERSECTION. THE SERVICE REP STATED IT WAS FROM THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BEING ACTIVATED AND THE BRAKES PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. *CB ALSO THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START, THE DEALER FOUND THE GROUND HARNESS ON THE ALTERNATOR LOOSE AND STRIPPED OUT WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT TO THE RED ZONE. *JB

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT GETS TIGHTER EVERY TIME PASSENGER MOVES. DEALER STATED IT WAS DESIGNED TO HOLD A SAFETY SEAT. THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. *MR CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS UNNECESSARY SINCE A CHILD SEAT SHOULDN'T GO IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE PASSENGER HAS TO CONSTANTLY UNLATCH THE SEAT BELT TO KEEP FROM BEING CHOKED WHICH POSSES A SAFETY HAZARD. *PH

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE VEHICLE DROVE OVER SOME BLACK ICE, VEHICLE THEN SPUN AROUND, HIT A CONCRETE BARRIER,AND A GUARD RAIL. UPON IMPACT, FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. *AK

COMPLAINTS REGARDING 2002 ISUZU RODEO.*MR (NAR) THE CONSUMER HAD EXPERIENCED ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, AND THE CONSUMER NO LONGER WANTS THE VEHICLE. SHE IS REQUESTING TO HAVE A FULL REFUND OF THE VEHICLE. *CB

VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES MAKES NOISES WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *PH

I HAVE TO ADD OIL TWICE BETWEEN MY 4000 MILE OIL CHANGES. I HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO DO THIS SINCE THE 30000 MILE MARK. THE DEALER(S) CLAIM THE ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO 'USE' UP TO 1 QUART EVERY THOUSAND MILES!!! SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW TO ME. *AK
