1998 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

WHEN CONSUMER WAS DRIVING VEHICLE SHOOK AND RATTLED ALSO, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF. TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD REGISTER HOT, AND COLD BACK IN FORTH. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT WARRANTY RAN OUT, AND DEALERSHIP HAD ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PROBLEM WITH RECALL. *AK THE HEAD GASKET AND TIMING CHAIN FAILED. THE CONSUMER HAD ASKED THE MANUFACTURER TO DO THE REPAIR ON WARRANTY. *YH

MY SUV RAN JUST FINE , THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST STOP RUNNING, IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SHIP THE FOLLOWING MONDAY WHEREIN IT WAS CHECKED OUT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ALL THE 16 VALVES WERE BENT, THE TIMING BELT STILL INTACT , THE PISTONS WERE STILL GOOD, BUT HAD TO LOOK @ THE HEAD TO SEE THEY WAS MORE DAMAGE. THEY LET ME KNOW THAT THEY WAS A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY, NOW I NEED A NEW ENGINE $6620 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LAST WEEK AND TO MY KNOWLEGDE THERE WAS A RECALL ON LAST YEAR WHEREIN A PART NEEDED REPLACING OR CLIPPED FOR IF IT IS NOT REPLACED , RESULTS WOULD BE ENGINE FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING ALONG ,THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN AND NOT START BACK UP, NOT EVEN JUMP START. NOW THE POINT OF THE MATTER IS I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL PLUS I PURCHAED THE VEHICLE IN MAY 1999 THE DEALER FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BEFORE I BOUGHT IT, PLUS FAILED TO NOTIFY ME OF THE RECALL , TO BRING THE RODEO IN FOR REPAIRS. OVER 55000 RODEOS WERE RECALLED. I WANT JUSTICE. ICAN'T AFFORD TO PAY OUT $6620 FOR A DEFECT CAUSED FROM THE FACTORY. PLEASE HELP ME!!! 55. *AK

THE DEALERSHIP HAS TIGHTENED THE AXLE BOLTS AT LEAST FOUR TIMES AND REPLACED THEM ONCE AS A RESULT OF RECALL CAMPAIGN (00V-58) AND SERVICE BULLETIN (SB0006S002). CONSUMERING IS STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IN SEPTEMBER, 2000 THE REAR AXLE HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 WEEKS THE SLIPPING PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT. *CJ

BRAKING DISCONTINUES AND PEDAL GOES SOFT WHEN A BUMP IS HIT AT ANY SPEED, HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON DUE TO FAULTY FUEL SENSOR

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 40 MPH ON A SEMI WET ROAD, APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOWDOWN, AND ALL OF SUDDEN VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT MEDIUM STRIP; SPUN AROUND AGAIN AND HIT THE MEDIUM STRIP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE. DRIVER RECEIVED BACK AND NECK INJURIES. DEALER/MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN A CRASH. DEALER NEEDS TO REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE DRUMS/LINES INCLUDING THE REAR BRAKING SYSTEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, IF CONSUMER TAKES FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE IS ON AND VEHICLE ALMOST COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. *SLC

ABS PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY CORRECTED BY DEALER WHEN VEHICAL NEW, BUT NOW ABS LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY AND CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I THINK ISUSU SHOULD TAKE CARE OF ABS PROBLEM. HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT ABS, SO THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ABS DEFECT. *AK

3 OR MORE INCIDENTS OF EXCESSIVE STOPPING DISTANCE WHEN ABS ENGAGED ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT . ALSO STRONGLY BELIEVE ABS SHOULD NOT OF ENGAGE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. SYSTEM TO SENSITIVE. *AK,

ABS LIGHT HAS COME ON. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND THE OPEN INVESTIGATION (EA99-008) ON THE DATABASE I WANT TO REGISTER THIS OCCURANCE. SO FAR THE BRAKES ARE WORKING WITHOUT ABS. SINCE WARRANTY IS OVER I WILL BE TAKING IT TO AN INDEPENDANT REPAIR SHOP.
