2000 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

WHILE TRAVELING, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE CONSUMER REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE FRONT CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE BRAKE FAILURE. *YH

ISUZU DEALER IN LANCASTER PA CAN'T REPEAT FAILURE. FINDS NO FAULT OF BRAKE SYSTEM.*AK

IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE BRAKES WILL SOMETIMES FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. THEY WILL MAKE A GRINDING SOUND AND AT THE SAME TIME THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS AND FINALLY I REAR ENDED SOMEONE CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE ONLY. ISUZU HAS CHECKED THIS OUT TWICE AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THERE ARE WEBSITES I'VE BEEN IN WHERE PEOPLE DESCRIBE THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENING TO THEM WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. IT'S OBVIOUS THERE'S A PROBLEM BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. WHAT SHALL WE DO?

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH VEHICLE STALLED IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. HAD NO WARNING. WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER AWHILE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK. MECHANIC INDICATED INTAKE GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, FAILED TO SOLVE PROBLEM. *AK

WE ARE CONSTANTLY ADDING OIL TO THE VEHICLE WITHIN A MONTHS TIME NO OIL WILL MEASURE ON THE DIPSTICK AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. WHEN THE TRUCK REACHES OVER 50MPH THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND PULLS TO THE RIGHT EVERYTIME

WHEN VEHICLE REACHES 65-70 MPH VEHICLE BOUNCES ALL OVER THE ROAD, AND IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL. DEALER BLAMES TIRES FOR THIS, CONSUMER HAS REPLACED TIRES 3 TIMES PLUS 2 EXTRA TIRES. ISUZU SAYS IT IS A SUV, AND WILL RIDE ROUGH. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK *YH

OCTOBER 18, 2001 LETTER FAXED TO 202 366-7882. VEHICLE VIBRATES ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. DEALER UNABLE TO SATISFY CONSUMER. *AK

NO DEFECT, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER FORM TO USE TO CONTACT NHTSA. I WISH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT EYESTRAIN ARISING FROM HEADLIGHT GLARE. IN MY CAR, SUV HEADLIGHTS ARE LEVEL WITH MY REARVIEW MIRROR. FREEWAY DRIVING AT NIGHT IS VERY STRAINFUL AND TIRING.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE WILL DRIFT TO RIGHT. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER FIVE TIMES ALREADY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.*AK

PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELT KEEPS RETRACTING, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS WAY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
