1995 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

THERE IS A LOUD SCREAMING SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. THERE IS A SLIGHT VIBRATION UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OCCASIONAL STALLING.*MR

A LOUD NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE, SOUNDS LIKE A RATTLE WHEN IDLE-UP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SOUND IS THE RESULT OF FAULTY HYDRAULIC LIFTERS AND THAT THE LIFTERS ARE TO SMALL IN THE 95 MODELS. I ALSO HEAR RODEOS THAT SOUND THE SAME WAY. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE YOU HAD ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND IS IT BEING INVESTAGATED? I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEB SITE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS WELL AS LUGS STRIPPING DURING TIRE ROTATIONS. I ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE SOME. I TRULY FEEL THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE DEFAULTS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY VEHICLE I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER ISUZU AND I HAVE NOT BEEN HAPPY SINCE I PURCHASED IT. *LA

WINDOWS CONTINUE TO FOG UP DEFROSTER NOT WORKING PROPERLY. LOCKS AND BACK HATCH IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AS WELL. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF RECALL NOTICE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATORS FOR 95 MODELS AND I ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE TWO. *LA

WHEN CHANGING THE TIRES OR ROTATING LUGS CONTINUE TO STRIP. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE'S HAD SEVERAL RODEOS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS BECOMING TO BE A REAL SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM! *LA

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE, AND CONSUMER WILL HAVE TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP . DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 1995 ISUZU RODEO ON A WET ROAD. HE WAS NOT SPEEDING AND WAS NOT DRIVING BEYOND THE ROAD CONDITION. HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AS HE WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES SUBSEQUENTLY LOCKED UP. THE CAR STARTED SKIDDING AND THE VEHICLE SLID INTO THE NORTHBOUND LANE OF HWY 603. HE WAS STRUCK ON THE DRIVERS DOOR BY A NORTHBOUND VEHICLE AND WAS SENT INTO A SPIN, PARTIALLY AIRBORNE AND THROWN INTO THE SOUTHBOUND LANE. AS A RESULT, A SOUTHBOUND VEHICLE STRUCK HIM. THE RESULTING THREE-CAR ACCIDENT RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF THE SOUTHBOUND DRIVER AND PREMATURE DELIVERY OF HER 8-MONTH-OLD SON AND INJURIES TO THE NORTHBOUND VEHICLES DRIVER. MY SON WAS NOT INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT. *NLM

THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD NOISE. *JB AT 10K MILES, THE NOISE WAS NOTICEABLE. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THE PROBLEM WAS NORMAL AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE NOISE GRADUALLY WORSENED. A BUZZ NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN MAKING THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS USED. THE COMBO SWITCH WAS REPLACED DUE TO A SHORT. ALSO THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR MADE A NOISE AS WELL. THE ENGINE SMOKED AT TIMES, DIED AND WHEN RESTARTED IT DID NOT RUN PROPERLY. THE SUNROOF DRAINS WERE DRAINING INTO THE ROCKER PANELS AND CAUSED WATER TO OVERFLOW ONTO THE DRIVER'S FLOOR. THE TRIM PANEL ON THE REAR DOOR WAS DEFORMED. SCC

BOTH REAR DOORS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THEY DO NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. *JB

WHEEL BOLTS/NUTS STRIP EVERY TIME I HAD TIRE WORK. RECENTLY BEING REFUSED TO CHANGE TIRES BY A SHOP, CLAIMING THAT RODEO'S WHEEL STUDS TOO SOFT TO GET THE JOB DONE WITHOUT DAMAGE

REPLACED SEVEN WHEEL LUGS NUTS AND BOLTS TO HIS VEHICLE. CONSUMER NAVIGATE ON NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND MANY CONSUMER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS
