ISUZU Complaints

I HAVE A 1998 RODEO, DRIVERS SIDE FRAME RUSTED AT TRAILING ARM BRACKET, SEPARATED AND WHEEL WENT FORWARD AGAINST WHEEL WELL. LUCKILY IN DRIVE WAY15 MPH. SIX MONTH LATER DRIVER SIDE FRAME RUSTED AT UPPER SHOCK AND COIL SPRING MOUNTS. THE LEFT REAR TRAILING ARM AND BRACKET BROKE FROM THE FRAME(DUE TO RUST), CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I BELIEVE ISUZU COMPANY THAT HAS AN OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THIS POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS CONDITION. *TR

ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF.

MY 2005 ISUZU ASCENDER (GM TRAILBLAZER) HAS CRAZY SPEEDOMETER IN IT DOES NOT WORK FIRST THING IN THE MORNING UNTIL I HAVE DRIVEN A COUPLE OF MILES. IT HAS ALSO JUST GOT STUCK ON 72 MPH AND JUST STAYED THERE EVEN AFTER TURNING IT OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT AND OF COURSE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

2002 ISUZU AXIOM DOES NOT SHIFT. HAVE REPORTED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES TO ISUZU SERVICE PROVIDER AS CAR STILL UNDER WARRANTY (NOT YET 120K). THEY KEEP ADJUSTING IT INSTEAD OF REPLACING IT. EVEN AFTER EACH DEALER ATTEMPT TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS, THIS VEHICLE, UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP OR NEAR STOP, STRAINS WHEN GOING INTO SECOND GEAR, GOES NOWHERE, THEN CLUNKS LOUDLY & LUNGES DRAMATICALLY FORWARD AT A VERY RAPID SPEED. IT SCARES ME BUT I HAVE NO OTHER TRANSPORTATION. ON MY LAST FAMILY TRIP (4/8/10), I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET KILLED AS THE CAR SUDDENLY REFUSED TO SHIFT AND GO UPHILL IN DC ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE IN HEAVY HIGH-SPEED TRAFFIC!!! I HOPE THIS SUV DOES NOT KILL MY FAMILY AND ME. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS!!! *TR

I LIVE IN CONNECTICUT AND OWN A 2001 ISUZU RODEO. IT HAS 81,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE CHANGING MY WINTER WHEELS TO SUMMER WHEELS I NOTICED LARGER RUST SPOTS ON THE REAR FRAME. AS I PROCEEDED TO CLEAN THE RUST OFF SO I CAN COAT THE FRAME . A LARGE HOLE OPENED UP UNDER THE RUST SPOT. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND NOTICED A TREND WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK FROM ISUZU. THE REST OF THE TRUCK IS PERFECT ISUZU NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING. TOYOTA HAD A PROBLEM WITH THERE FRAMES AND THEY ARE REPLACING THEM. *TR

JANUARY 2010 -1998 ISUZU RODEO-BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED. UPON INVESTIGATION WE DISCOVERED REAR WHEEL OF DRIVER SIDE LODGED AGAINST INSIDE OF WHEEL WELL. FURTHER DISCOVERED REAR STABILIZER BRACKET COMPLETELY OFF OF REAR FRAME. VEHICLE REPAIRED BY A WELDER WHO DISCOVERED 5 FEET OF FRAME ROT IN THE REAR OF VEHICLE. HE REPLACED ROTTED FRAME AND FABRICATED NEW BRACKET. VISUALLY INSPECTED PASSENGER SIDE WHICH APPEARED TO BE STABLE. APRIL 4,2010-WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE MADE AN UNEXPECTED VERY ABRUPT SHIFT TO THE RIGHT. VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE FRAME WAS FAILING.THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING IN EITHER INCIDENT. WE HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH ISUZU MOTORS. WE CONSIDER OURSELVES VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN INJURED AS THIS PROBLEM IS CLEARLY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 ISUZU AXIOM MILEAGE 101,000.. WHILE DRIVING I HIT A POT HOLE - THE FAMILY HEARD A WEIRD SOUND. WE PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THE PASSENGER REAR CONTROL ARM HAD BROKEN AWAY FROM THE FRAME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A WELDING SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THE WELDING SHOP CALLED ME AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN THE AIR THAT THE FRAME WAS TOTALLY ROTTED AWAY.. SOME PLACES OF THE FRAME YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND THRU THE BOTTOM AND SOME PLACES THRU THE TOP OF THE FRAME. THERE ARE OTHER PLACES THAT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED DO TO SIDE ROT OF THE FRAME.. THE WELD SHOP INFORMED ME THE AXIOM CAN NOT BE REPAIRED AND CAN NOT PASS INSPECTION. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND THE ODI REPORTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS - SO HERE IS MY REPORT. THE REST OF THE AXIOM IS PERFECT NO RUST ON THE BODY AND ENGINE RUNS PERFECT. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAS A INSURANCE VALUE OF $6,700 PER AN INSURANCE ADJUSTOR, BUT INSURANCE WONT COVER IT. SO IM OUT A VEHICLE THANKS TO A COMPANY USING INFERIOR METAL FOR A FRAME. THANK GOD I WASN'T DRIVING FAST AND DIDN'T HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED THE LIFE OF A FAMILY MEMBER OR SOMEONE ELSE. *TR
