1995 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

THE PROBLEM WITH THE STUDS IS CONTINUOUS, ANY TIME I HAVE TO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED OR BALANCED, OR FRONT END ALIGNED THE SERVICE PERSON ALWAYS INFORMS ME THAT THE LUGS HAVE BROKEN OFF WITH THE STUD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH HAS BEEN VERY COSTLY AND AN INCONVIENCE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE HORN IS WHENEVER THE CAR IS WASHED OR IT RAINS THE HORN START SOUNDING AND I HAVE TO REMOVE THE FUSE TO STOP IT . THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY FRONT END DAMAGE TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM, IT JUST STARTED HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY AND ANOTHER MOTORIST INFORMED ME THAT MY HORN WAS SOUNDING. *AK

THE WHEEL STUD BOLTS BREAK WHENEVER TIRES ARE ROTATED AND MOUNTED BECAUSE IT IS DEFECTIVE. YH

VEHICLE CONTINUALLY USING EXCESSIVE OIL, WITH BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM TAIL PIPE, O-RINGS REPLACED TWICE,HOWEVER DID NOT REMEDY, UNABLE TO DETERMINE PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. YH

THE ENGINE WHEN AT IDLE STARTS TO MAKE A LOUD RAPPING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE FAULTY LIFTERS WITHIN AN ENGINE. THE NOISE WILL CONTINUE FROM IDLE ALL THE WAY TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. AFTER 20 MINUTES OF OPERATION THE NOISE WILL GO AWAY.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE , THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED AND FAILED WITHIN A WEEK , THEN REPLACED AND FAILED WITHIN A DAY, HYDRAULIC SYSTEM ON THE CLUTCH WENT OUT AND THEN THE TANSMISSION BLEW THIS ALL HAS OCCURRED WITHIN ONE MONTH? *AK

POSSIBLE DESIGN FLAW CAUSED THE IC VOLTAGE REGULATOR TO FAIL DUE TO A BAD ALTERNATOR. HOWEVER, REPLACMENTS WERE DONE. PROBLEM REOCCURED. *YC

WHILE DRIVING THE LOCKS STARTED TO ACTIVATE WHEN NO ONE WAS TOUCHING THEM.WHEN THE DOORS STARTED TO ACTIVATE ALONE, ONE COULD NOT ENTER OR EXIT. CONSUMER AND FAMILY HAD TO EXIT THROUGH HATCHBACK.MANUFACTOR WAS CONTACTED, AND SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP CONSUMER BECAUSE OF HIS LOCATION. *AK

FRONT END PULLS TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT, AND THERE IS A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. ALSO, BRAKES ARE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. *AK

ALL 12 WHEEL LUGS/NUTS ON FRONT WHEELS FAILED ACCORDING TO DEALER. INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM TIRE SHOPS INDICATES THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH ISUZU VEHICLES. ISUZU REFUSES TO HONOR WARRANTY STATING WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE THAT THE CAUSE IS "USE OF AIR WRENCHES TO TIGHTEN LUGS". THE LUG NUTS/BOLTS ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE IN DESIGN, MANURE, OR ASSEMBLY SINCE OTHER CARS DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM

WITH ALL THESE DEFECTS THIS VEHICLE SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ON THE RODE ..NOT UP TO SAFETY STANDARDS FOR OCCUPANTS OR INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT THEY MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH...
