1999 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

TAIL PIPE HAS SEPARATED FROM MUFFLER. IT COULD FALL WHILE VEHICLE IS IN USE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

AFTER FIRST COUPLE OF INCIDENTS, CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP - PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. CAR WAS RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN LESS THAN A WEEK LATER AFTER ANOTHER INCIDENT OCCURRED. IN THIS INCIDENT, THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AND ENGINE REVVED TO 3000 RPMS, NEARLY CAUSING ME TO REAREND THE CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. THIS WAS THE MOST EXTREME INCIDENT I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALL OTHER ENGINE SURGES REVVED THE ENGINE UP TO ABOUT 1000 RPM. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN WORKING ON CAR FOR NEARLY TWO WEEKS. PROBLEM WAS DUPLICATED BY DEALERSHIP AND ISUZU TECHS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH NO AVAIL. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOING THE REPAIRS IS NOT THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE ADDRESS OF THE DEALERSHIP DOING REPAIRS IS #1 COCHRAN, 5200 CAMPBELLS RUN RD. PITTSBURGH, PA 15205 (412)-788-4444.

VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE THAT HAD A SLASH INSIDE THE TIRE , WHICH WAS UNNOTICED BY CONSUMER UNTIL IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER SPARE, LEAVING CONSUMER STRANDED. *AK

MUFFLER IS NOT MOUNT PROPERLY, IT CONTINUES TO FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING. DEALER SAYS PART IS ON BACK ORDER. *AK

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS I TRIED TO STOP RAPIDLY AND THE ABS ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT LET THE VEHICLE STOP. IT JUST MADE A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR . I RAN INTO A DITCH ONCE, AND 3 TIMES I BARELY AVOIDED HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND.*AK

AFTER 5 MONTHS, 7,500 MILES, WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, ENGINE BEGAN TAPPING AND RESULTED IN SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. DEALER HAS RODEO, BUT CANNOT LOCATE ENGINE. WE ARE AFRAID THAT VEHICLE WILL LOSE MARKET VALUE BECAUSE OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT IN EARLY YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. *AK

ENGINE REVES BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED THE CAR SURGES FORWARD. THIS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO NUMEROUS TO COUNT. VEHICCLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER (BERNARD ISUZU) 5 TIMES, NOT REPAIRED, REQUESTING REPLACEMENT FROM MANUFACTURER. THEY ARE UNRESPONSIVE. *AK

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, DEALER FOUND CRANK SENSOR HAD INTERMITTENT OPERATION. *SLC

BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE, CAUSING AUTOMOBILE TO GO WHEN STOP WAS INTENDED. THIS SCARES THE HELL OUT OF THE AUTOMOBILE OCCUPANTS.*AK

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL 00V058000 CONCERNING REAR AXLE FAILURE. CALLED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT, AND DEALER SAID WHEN PARTS WOULD CAME IN CONSUMER WOULD GET A CALL. HOWEVER, DEALER NEVER CALLED. *AK
