ISUZU Complaints

2006 I PURCHASED 1997 ISUZU RODEO. NOT LONG AFTER WE NOTICED ENGINE MADE A TICKING SOUND BROUGHT IT TO SHOP AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS NO OIL PRESSURE. WE HAD TO HAVE ENGINE REPLACED IT TOOK ABOUT 2 MONTHS. THEY HAD TO REPLACE ENGINE 2. FIRST ONE THEY INSTALLED WAS ALSO BLOWN. ENGINE STILL TICKS. THERE IS ALSO PROBLEMS WITH THE SUV WANTING TO ACCELERATE WHILE AT A STOP. SOMETIMES NOT EVEN HOLDING THE BREAK FIRM STOPS IT FROM ROLLING. THE HEATER CORE STARTED LEAKING ANTIFREEZE INTO THE VEHICLE. THE REPLACEMENT FEE JUST FOR THE PART IS 400.00. I HAVE READ MANY REPORTS OF AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. *TR

TRAVELING APPROX: 45 MPH. TRACTION CONTROL KICKS ON CAUSING CAR TO VEER TO LEFT INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY. TRACTION CONTROL WILL ENGAGE IN PARKING LOTS OR AT LOW SPEEDS WITH OUT WHEEL SPIN. IT WILL ENGAGE BRAKES AND AT TIMES NOT RELEASE UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. *TR

DRIVING ISUZU RODEO ON INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH WHEN GOING AROUND LARGE TURN THE REAR END OF THE SUV BEGAN TO GET VERY LOOSE. FELT LIKE A TIRE WAS GOING TO FALL OFF. AFTER LOSING CONTROL I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND EXIT OFF INTERSTATE. I LOOKED AROUND SUV AND SAW NOTHING UNUSUAL UNTIL I GOT UNDER THE SUV AND REALIZED THE REAR STABILITY BAR HAD RUSTED COMPLETELY FROM THE FRAME AND THE FRAME ITS SELF HAD MANY HOLES RUSTED THOUGH IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR FRAME WAS COVERED WITH RUST. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 122,292.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS DRIVING 37 MPH WHEN THE STABILIZER BAR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE FROM THE FRAME BECAUSE THE FRAME HAD RUSTED. THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED WHEN THE BAR BROKE BUT NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FILLER TUBES HAD ALSO RUSTED OUT, THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FUEL AND THE UNDERCARRIAGE HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

THE ENGINE MAKES "CLACKING" TYPE SOUND WHEN STARTED AND CONTINUES FOR ABOUT 3-4 MINUTES. ONCE THE ENGINE IS WARM THE CLACKING STOPS. I'VE COMPLAINED TWICE ABOUT THIS NOISE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD ENGINE IS NORMAL FOR THIS MODEL. OIL IS NORMAL. IT'S MADE THIS SOUND SINCE WE DROVE IT OFF THE LOT NEW. EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR DEALER THINKS THIS IS NOT NORMAL! EVERYONE TELLS ME TO CHECK MY OIL EVERYTIME I START UP AND THEY HEAR THE NOISE. HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS FOR 4004 ISUZU AXIOM? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FRAME EXHIBITED SIGNS OF RUSTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION AND THE MECHANIC WELDED THE RUSTED FRAME. THE DEALER, WHEN CALLED, ADVISED THE CONTACT NOT TO REPAIR THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND HAVE DRIVEN BACK AND FORTH TO WORK (10 MILES R/T) FOR EIGHT 1/2 YEARS. AM NOW FINDING THAT THE REAR HALF OF THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT BY EXCESSIVE CORROSION. IT ONLY HAS 73K MILES ON IT, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST ON THE BODY AND IS OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. WHEN I DISHED OUT $30K FOR THIS VEHICLE, I CERTAINLY EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO KEEP IT LONGER THAN THIS - THIS IS WRONG AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. *TR

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2002 ISUZU AXIOM (JANUARY 2010) AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY GONE OUT. I WAS RIDING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT JUST WENT OUT. I AM THE SECOND OWNER FOR THIS AUTOMOBILE AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE TRANSMISSION IS ALREADY GONE. FROM DOING MY RESEARCH I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS. *TR

THE FRAME EXHIBITED SEVERE RUST AND BROKE IN HALF. THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERATIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHICH THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERN OF THE SAFETY ISSUE AND STATED THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SERVICE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,447. UPDATED 11/16/10. *LJ
