1995 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN YOUR SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER SB96-01-L005, BULLETIN SEQUENCE NUMBER 23. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM LAST SUMMER (8/98) THAT THERE WAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL SEEPING INTO THE SPARK PLUG TUBES. IS THIS SOMETHING THE MANUFACTURER HAS TO REPAIR ON THE VEHICLE?

I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR ALTERNATOR/ REGULATOR/STARTER THAT I WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE RECEIVED SOMETIMES IN 1997. SHOULD THE DEALERSHIP DO IT NOW AND PAY FOR THE MONEY I SPENT TO FIX THE ALTERNATOR/REGULATOR/ STARTER? *AK

DURING TIRE ROTATION STUDS/LUG NUTS BECAME STRIPPED WHEN REMOVING LUG NUTS. ONE OF THE STUDS BROKE LOOSE FROM ITS SEATING INSIDE THE HUB DURING REMOVAL OF LUG NUT PREVENTING WHEEL REMOVAL OR LUG NUT RETIGHTENING. ALL 12 FRONT STUDS AND LUG NUTS HAD TO BE REPLACED AS THEY WERE ALL STRIPPED. ALL 12 REAR LUG NUTS AND STUDS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AS THEY ARE ALSO STRIPPING DURING WHEEL REMOVAL. THE STRIPPING OF THESE LUG NUTS/STUDS IS CAUSING METAL FATIGUE ON THE STUDS AND THEY POSE A SERIOUS SAFTEY HAZARD DUE TO POSSIBLE BREAKAGE WHILE VEHICAL IS IN MOTION.

TIE ROD END BROKE WHICH WAS THE POSSIBLE CAUSE FOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND ROLL OVER.

WHEEL STUDS AND NUTS CAN BE STRIPPED DURING NORMAL WHEEL INSPECTION AND TIRE REPLACEMENT.

ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE DOOR LOCK TO STAY LOCKED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK .DEALER HAD TO DISMANTLE THE DOOR. BUT CANNOT EXPLAIN WHAT CAUSED DEFECT. *AK

EVERY TIME WHEELS NEED TO BE REMOVED FOR SERVICE, A NUMBER OG LUGS:NUTS:STUDS BREAK.

ALL 24 LUGS: NUTS BROKE OFF WHILE ROTATING THE TIRES. THIS CONDITION HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE. *AK

AT ANY SPEED AND WHENEVER THE CONSUMER WOULD DRIVE OVER A BUMP THE VEHILCE WILL CUT OFF, AND THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WOULD COME OFF AND ON. *AK

NEITHER REAR PASSENGER DOOR (POWER LOCKS) WILL OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND STATED THAT THE HANDLES NEEDS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RUSTING. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. *AK
