2001 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE WHEEL WHILE THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. *NLM

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 65-67 MILES PER HOUR IN LIGHT-RAIN CONDITIONS TRYING TO EXIT INTO ANOTHER LANE WHEN THE 2001 ISUZU RODEO BEGAN TO HYDROPLANE AND THE CONSUMER NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING. THE CONSUMER LOSS ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT THEN SPUN OUT IN A 360 DEGREE RADIUS AND HIT INTO A CEMENT BARRIER. THE REAR END OF THE 2001 ISUZU RODEO WAS THE FIRST IMPACT. AFTER COLLIDING INTO THE CEMENT BARRIER AT UNKNOWN SPEED THE 2001 ISUZU RODEO SPUN OUT AGAIN IN A 360 DEGREE RADIUS WHERE IT WAS THEN HIT BY 2 OTHER VEHICLES. THE FIRST VEHICLE IMPACTED THE 2001 ISUZU RODEO ON THE LEFT-FRONTAL CORNER (DRIVER'S SIDE) AND THE SECOND VEHICLE IMPACT IS NOT KNOWN. THOUGH CONSUMER WAS WEARING SEAT-BELT RESTRAINT, CONSUMER NOTICED THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *JB

THE COMMPLAINT IS A DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEM,IZUSU IS ALSO AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE ISSUED A BULETIN TO THE DEALERS TO THE DEFECT. THE PBLEMM IS THAT WHEN YOU STEP ONN THE BRAKE YOU FEEL A THUMP IN THE REAR END OF THE CAR. THERE HAS TO BE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE DRIVE SHAFT SPINES OR EVEN THE UBOLTS ON THE DRIVE SHAFT. I WAS TOLD BY ISUZU THAT THERE IS A SPECIAL STICK GREASE THAT WAS DEVELOPED BY GENERAL MOTORS THAT SUPPOSE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. WELL! IN MY CASE IT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEMM AS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TO 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

I'M HAVING THE FOLLOWING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY RODEO. INTERMITENTLY, THE CRUISE LIGHT BUTTON TURNS ON, THEN THE CRUISE LIGHT INDICATOR TURNS ON, THEN THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT TURNS ON. AT THAT SAME TIME ALL THE INDICATORS ARE ON THE TRUCK HESITATES AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THIS MOST FREQUENTLY OCCURS AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, HOWEVER HAS OCCURED WHILE CRUSING. THUS FAR THE TECHNICIANS HAVE REPLACED

WHILE IN MOTION AND WITH OUT ANY WARNING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED IN THE HIGHWAY. CONSUMER HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SERVICE SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A POOR CONNECTION AT H-7, AND THE CONNECTOR WAS REPLACED. THE MECHANIC INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS WAS A FACTORY DEFECT. *JG

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE ABS BRAKES FAILED CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE BRAKES DO NOT ADJUST OR CALIBRATE TO THE WEIGHT OF WHATS BEING TOWED. DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIX PROBLEM. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS TS

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT GETS TIGHTER EVERY TIME THE PASSENGER MOVES. DEALER STATED BELT IS DESIGNED TO HOLD CHILD SAFETY SEAT. THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. *MR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED THE THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL COME ON/OFF BY ITSELF. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING A NEW VEHICLE IF THE CRUISE CONTROL CANNOT BE FIXED. *SCC

ENGINE CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT WHILE DRIVING SINCE 4,700 MILES TO THE PRESENT. VEHICLE BEEN TO THE DEALER ON FIVE OCCASIONS, AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THERE'S A POP, AND WHEN TAKING OFF, THERE'S A POP. CONSUMER FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH. CAN FEEL A BUMP WHEN STOPPING AND TAKING OFF. DEALER INSISTS IT IS NORMAL. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
