1999 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

I HAD AN ABS SERVICE REPAIR BY A DEALER DONE ON 12-10-2002 ON MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO VEHICLE AND THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED WAS A MODULATOR FOR THE ABS SENSOR. LAST MONDAY, 04-18-05, THERE WAS A RECALL THAT ANOTHER DEALER ADVISED ME TO BE SERVICED ON THE SAME NATURE OF PROBLEM. AFTERWARDS, I'VE CALLED THE ISUZU MANUFACTURER'S OFFICE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND I'VE PLEADED IF THEY CAN REIMBURSE ME ON THE FIRST SERVICE REPAIR THAT WAS DONE ON MY ABS. THEY TURNED ME DOWN. I WISH TO BRING THEM TO THE COURT BUT I WAS ADVICED IF I CAN ASK YOUR GOOD OFFICE TO PLEASE INVESTIGATE IF MY CLAIMS CAN BE VALIDATED BY YOURS. THANKS. *JB

RECALL 021-002 WAS DONE ON THE TRUCK BUT THE ABS LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE (ISUZU RODEO). *BF WHILE DRIVING THE FUEL PUMP FAILED/SENDER ASSEMBLY FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF. *NM

FUEL GAUGE/SENSOR FAILURE. FUEL INDICATOR DISPLAYS INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. INDICATOR READS THAT THE TANK IS FULL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING, BUT BECOMES ERRATIC AT ABOUT 10 MILES AND THEN INDICATES AN EMPTY TANK SOON THEREAFTER. FUEL LIGHT ALSO FLASHES ON AND OFF PERIODICALLY.

DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON A 1999 ISUZU RODEO. HAPPENED JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILE. THE SUV HAS 80,000 MILE AND CONTINUING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND ISUZU WILL NOT FIX IT. IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE REPAIR COST IS APPROXIMATELY $500.00.*AK

THE GAS GAUGE READS THE WRONG READING. THIS CAUSES THE CONSUMER TO THINK THEY HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF GAS WHEN THEY HAVE NONE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK *NM

MY FUEL GAUGE HAS FAILED AND I WENT TO ISUZU DEALERSHIP AND THE ASE MECHANIC TOLD ME HE HAS REPLACED A TON OF THESE AND IT WOULD COST 800.00 DOLLARS. I WAS UPSET AND DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE EXPEIRENCED THE SAME ISSUE. ISUZU IS AND HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE CONSUMER.*AK

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH THAT WAS CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION WITHIN A VEHICLE THAT I WAS DRIVING. I HAD COME TO A STOP, PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE BETWEEN TWO VEHICLES, WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE SURGED, THE WHOLE TIME I WAS FIGHTING THE ACCELERATION WITH THE BRAKES, BUT THEY JUST MADE A NOISE SIMILAR TO WHEN LOCKING ABS BRAKES ON ICE. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A BRICK PILLAR THAT COLLAPSED ON TOP OF THE VEHICLE ,ALMOST KILLING ME ,AND INJURING MY LOWER/MIDDLE BACK IN THE PROCESS. *AK

ON 2-2-05 I WAS INVLOVED IN A CRASH THAT WAS CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION WITHIN A VEHICLE THAT I WAS DRIVING. IT WAS A 1999 ISUZU RODEO. I HAD COME TO A STOP, PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE BETWEEN TWO VEHICLES AT A WALGREENS STORE IN ENID, OKLAHOMA WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE SURGED, THE WHOLE TIME I WAS FIGHTING THE ACCELERATION WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY JUST MADE A NOISE SIMILAR TO WHEN YOU LOCK ABS BREAKS ON ICE. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A BRICK PILLAR THAT COLLAPSED ON TOP ON THE VEHICLE ALMOST KILLING ME AND INJURING MY LOWER/MIDDLE BACK IN THE PROCESS.THE TIRES CONTINUED TO SPIN EVEN AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE, I HAVE PHOTOS FOR PROOF. I AM FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST ISUZU MOTORS OF AMERICA FOR FAULTY PRODUCTS THAT RESULTED IN THE CRASH THAT ALMOST TOOK MY LIFE AND INJURED MY BACK. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I'M TWENTY THREE YEARS OLD AND WAS NOT PHYSICALLY IMPAIRED AT THE TIME THE WRECK OCCURED. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AND CORRECTED BEFORE THIS HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE.I HAVE WITNESSES THAT CAN ATTEST TO WHAT HAPPENED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK

-THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS ARE UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES, CAUSING THE SECURITY ALARM TO SOUND. -THE POWER LOCKS DO NOT UNLOCK WHEN USING THE MANUAL CONTROL PAD. -THE RIGHT/LEFT SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK UNLESS THE HAZARD LIGHT BUTTON IS PUSHED IN(ACTIVE). -THE HAZARD LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON AT ALL. -THE AIR VENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MAKES NOISES. *JB

99 ISUZU RODEO WITH 65000 MILES ON IT. LOOKS LIKE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. LOCAL DEALERSHIP FULLY AWARE OF PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL ON IT. ESTIMATE $500-600 TO REPAIR. WIFE WITH 1 YEAR OLD IN VEHICLE MOST OF THE TIME. THINK MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE. SEVERAL OTHER FRIENDS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM. CALLED NUMBER TO ISUZU AND HAD NO HELP WHATSOEVER. LOOKS LIKE THEY KNOW OF PROBLEM TOO, BUT WON'T STAND UP AND DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.*AK
