1994 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

REAR HATCH WINDOW LATCH MALFUNCTIONED, WINDOW SWINGS OPEN WHILE DRIVING DANGEROUS; REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN, AND ONCE DOOR IS OPENED, DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY UNTIL DOOR LOCKS ARE OPENED AND CLOSED SEVERAL TIMES

THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS COMPONENT (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 97V034001) BUT WE WERE TOLD THAT IT DOESN'T APPLY TO OUR VEHICLE. WE HAVE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $400 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM THUS FAR AND WE STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

TIRE TREAD SEPARATED. TIRES WHERE PROPERLY INFLATED AND WHERE DRIVEN AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND BECUASE THE TIRES WHERE ONLY TWO YEARS OLD WITH A LITTLE LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON THEM THEY REPLACED IT. THEY ALSO FOUUND ANOTHER BAD TIRE WHICH WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THESE TIRES DID THE SAME THING THAT THE FIRESTONE RECALLED TIRES WHERE DOING. ALTHOUGH THEY WHERE NOT THE RIGHT SIZE NOR WHERE THEY MADE AT THE SAME PLANT AS THE RECALLED TIRES, I BELIEVE THAT THESE TIRES ARE ALSO DEFECT AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS WELL SO AS TO AVOID OTHER POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS. IT IS A HORRIBLE COOINCIDENCE THAT THESE TIRES ARE MADE BY FIRESTONE AND HAD TREAD SEPARATIONS AS WELL AS THE RECALLED TIRES. MY GOAL HERE IS TO SIMPLY REPORT THE INCIDENT IN THE HOPE THAT THE SAFETY OF ALL CITIZENS ARE CONSIDERED BY INVESTIGATING AND POSSIBLY RECALLING THESE TIRES AS WELL.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 2257R15 )

ALTERNATOR REGULATOR OVERCHARGED, CAUSING MAJOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN VEHICLE. DAMAGE WAS $2,000. ISUZU INDICATED 1994 ISUZU RODEOS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT OUR VIN WAS NOT WITHIN RECALL. I MAINTAIN THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CONFINED TO THOSE

I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ALTERNATOR RECALL FOR VEHICLE. OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES INCURRED. INOPERABLE HATCHBACK WINDOW POSES SERIOUS POTENTIAL HAZARD. *AK

THE DRIVER'S SIDE CAMSHAFT END PLUG WAS LEAKING OIL. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS, BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT MY CAR WASN'T COVERED. THE FIX WAS SUPPOSEDLY A PLATE INSTALLED OVER THE PLUG, WHICH MY CAR HAS, SO I SUPPOSE IT WAS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. I REMOVED THE PLUG AND HAVE NOTICED THAT THE LIP IS NOT SYMMETRIC ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SEAL, INDICATING THAT THE PLUG IS DEFECTIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE MY PASSENGER SIDE PLUG, BUT I CANNOT REACH IT DUE TO A BRACKET. I CANNOT TELL WHETHER OR NOT THAT SIDE IS LEAKING. HALL ISUZU OF NEWPORT NEWS LOOKED UP MY VIN AND STATED THERE WAS NO OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THIS ITEM. *AK

TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED, AND WAS TOLD THAT LUGS: NUTS SNAPPED OFF. IF CONSUMER HAD TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE, HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE IT OFF. *AK *ML

ORIGINAL LUG NUTS ON THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES ARE HARD TO GET OFF THE VEHICLE. LUG BOLT THREADS ARE TOO SOFT AND MAKES CHANGING A TIRE IMPOSSIBLE. OWNER BELIEVES THE LUG NUTS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *AK *ML

WHEN POPPED THE HOOD TO GET OIL CHANGE,-THE MECHANIC SHOWED CONSUMER THAT OIL WAS LEAKING FROM ENGINE. *AK

BACK WINDOW: WHEN DRIVING AND HITTING A BUMP ON ROAD OR HIGHWAY THE BACK WINDOW FLIES OPEN. *AK
