WHILE DRIVING OUR ISUZU RODEO AT FREEWAY SPEED, OUR REAR PASSENGER TIRE (BRIDGESTONE DUELER 684) STEEL BELT CAME UNRAVELED AND PROCEEDED TO DESTROY OUR REAR LIGHTS, SIDE REAR PANEL AND BUMPER. THE TIRE NEVER LOST PRESSURE, IT SIMPLY CAME UNRAVELED. LUCKILY WE WERE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IF THIS HAD BEEN A FRONT TIRE WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. *NM

I HAVE A 98 ISUZU RODEO THAT HAD A RECALL DONE IN JANUARY 2004 (ON THE EHCV COIL INTEGRATED MODULE FOR MY ABS) AT BRALEY & GRAHAM IN BEAVERTON, OR. I TOOK CARE OF THIS RE-CALL, EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT HAVING ANY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT SINCE I HAD RECEIVED THE PAPER WORK ON THIS, I DID THE RESPONSIBLE THING AND HAD IT TAKEN CARE OF. THIS PART, AFTER LESS THAN TWO YEARS, HAS GONE BAD AGAIN AND ISUZU IS TELLING ME THAT THIS IS MY PROBLEM (THE PART IS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 1 YEAR). THIS IS A PART, THAT I AM BEING TOLD, BY A REPUTABLE MECHANIC, SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN FOR THE LIFE OF THIS CAR. THE ABS IS NOT WORKING AT THIS TIME. AS OF YET THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS (I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY BRAKES HAVE REVERTED BACK TO WHAT REGULAR BRAKES ARE) BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE AMOUNT OF BRAKING THAT I DID HAVE. I AM BEING TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT I TOOK IT INTO TO RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC, THAT THIS WILL COST ME A HUGE (+$1000) AMOUNT TO REPAIR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE BAD IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS TIME. WHAT CAN I DO? THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I TOOK CARE OF AND IT DIDN'T LAST ANY AMOUNT OF TIME AT ALL. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THIS PART AND THAT ISUZU SHOULD REPLACE THIS SINCE THEY APPARENTLY DID NOT TOTALLY TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE AND REPLACED THE PART WITH ANOTHER FAULTY PIECE. HELP. *NM

1998 ISUZU RODEO USED 5 LITERS OF OIL IN 4000 KMS AND SEIZED UP WITH OUT WARNING ON 30 DEC 05. THE OIL LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON ISUZU DEALERS SAID IT WON'T COME ON UNTIL VEHICLE IS OUT OF OIL. SO WHY PUT SENSORS ON THE TRUCK. ONLY 92000 KMS ON THE RODEO TALKED TO SATURN, ISUZU IN FREDRICTON AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TOLD TO BAD SO SAD CHECK YOU OIL MORE BUT IF WE DO A RECALL ON EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION KEEP YOUR BILL AND WE MAY REFUND YOU. THE TRUCK DID NOT SMOKE OR LEAK OIL. THE OIL WAS CHECK 14 NOV 05. IT ALWAYS USED 1 LITRE EVERY 5000 KMS. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WOULD NOT GET ANY WORSE. GUESS THEY WERE WRONG IT IS GOING TO COST ME $3700 TO FIX. THANKS ISUZU AND GM. *NM
