2000 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

ON 8/8/01, I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND WINTER LIGHT CAME ON THEN CAR STALLED OUT AND VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING. CAR SHAKING AND LIGHT DIDN'T GO OFF UNTIL CAR WAS SHUT OFF THEN RESTARTED. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CHANGED ACCELERATOR SENSOR. *AK 09/10/02, TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER BECAUSE CD PLAYER BROKE, WHEELS PEELING,DOOR POPPING WHEN OPENED, VEHICLE CUTS OFF AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING. DEALER REPLACED CD PLAYER, WHEELS, BUSHING IN DOOR, AND REPLACED MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. 10/10/02, SPEEDODOMETER NOT READING PROPERLY, VEHICLE STILL CUTS OFF AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING. DEALER FOUND CODE P0102 AIR FLOW METER MALFUNCTION, AND REPLACED IT. BUT COULD NOT INDICATE REASON SPEEDODOMETER WAS NOT READING. 01/13/04, CAR STILL STALLING AND CUTTING OFF, DEALER REPLACED PLUGS AND INJECTORS. PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING. TAKING BACK TO DEARLER TODAY ON 01/21/04

DURING A 40 MPH CRASH INTO A CONCRETE CENTER DIVIDER ON A INTERSTATE IN WHICH THE VEHICLE MADE CONTACT WITH THE FRONT AND DRIVER FRONT AREA, CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGES. INCLUDING PUSHING BUMPER,GRILLE,HEADLIGHTS AND HOOD UP INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. TO MY SHOCK THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? DO THEY JUST TELL YOU THEY ARE THERE AND THEY DON'T WORK WHEN YOU NEED THEM??? I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ISUZU PRODUCT AND AM SEEKING A CLAIM AGAINST ISUZU TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!! *LA

THE FUEL GUAGE DOES NOT ALWAYS REGISTER THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. IT SELDOMS REGISTERS A FULL TANK AFTER FILLING. THE QUAGE WILL DROP TO THE 1/4 TANK OR BELOW LEVEL, THE LOW FUEL AND SERVICE ENGINE LITES WILL COME ON. THIS MAY PERSIST FOR SEVERAL DAYS OR RESET SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. *AK

00 ISUZU RODEO ABS ISSUES I FIND THE ABS KICKING IN WHEN RUNNING OVER SMAL BUMP AND ROCKY SURFACES. THIS IS MY WIFES AUTOMOBILE, AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW, AND REALLY BELIEVE THAT THESE BRAKES ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. *AK

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE IN 2000, THERE HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END AS IF EITHER THE TIRES ARE OUT OF BALANCE OR THE FRONT NEEDS ALIGNING. I HAVE CONTINUOUSLY REPORTED THIS TO SEVERAL DEALERS AND AS OF THIS TIME NONE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM..I, AFTER BEING ADVISED TO, AND AT MY OWN EXPENSE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES TO NO AVAIL. *JB

2000 ISUZU RODEO GAS GAUGE CONSTANTLY STAYS ON EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO ON CONSTANTLY. *LA

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT 3 MPH, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BEFORE STOPPING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION AND COMPLETE THE QUESTIONNAIRE.

WHEN SHIFTING GEARS TRANSMISSION SLIPS TO A LOWER GEAR. CONSUMER NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP. *AK THE GEAR SHIFT DIDN'T GO INTO GEAR ON OCCASIONS. THE ONLY WAY TO CHECK THE GEAR IS BY THE SPEEDOMETER. DEALER STATED THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE UNIT IN STOCK AND THERE WERE NONE IN THE U.S. *PH *NLM

WHEN DRIVING AND APPLYING THE BRAKES THEY DID NOT STOP AT A SAFE DISTANCE. ON TWO OCCASIONS VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED TO THE CONSUMER ONCE AND TO THE CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER ONCE. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOTIFIED.*AK

TRANSMISSION MODE SWITCH HAS FAILED 4 TIMES IN ONE MONTH AND THERE IS NO IDENTIFIABLE CAUSE BY BALBOA ISUZU. THIS IS SUCH A COMMON OCCURRENCE RIGHT NOW THAT ALL THE DEALERSHIPS ARE HOLDING ONTO THEIR PARTS CLOSELY AND WILL NOT SELL TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! EVEN THE FACTORY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. CAUSES THE TEANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE.*AK
