ISUZU Complaints

MY 93 ISUZU TROOPER SUDDENLY LOSS TURN SIGNALS AND POWER WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN. THIS CONFUSED THE CAR ON THE OTHER DIRECTION, AND ALMOST CAUSED COLLISION. *TR

FUEL TANK LEAKS SPILLING FUEL AT ALL TIMES. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT THE FUEL FILLER NECK WAS ULTRASONICALLY WELDED TO THE FUEL TANK AND THAT THE SEAM DID NOT HOLD. HE REPORTED SEEING THIS ON SEVERAL VEHICLES, DIFFERENT MAKE, SAME BODY STYLE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, AND EVERY SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACKFIRING, AND IT EVENTUALLY STARTED DRIVING REALLY SLOW. IT ALSO SMOKES FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE SMELL OF THE FUMES HAVE BEEN VERY STRONG SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. ALSO THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WON'T WORK. THE BACKSEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS HARD TO OPEN, AND THE WINDOW HAD A STICK IN IT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ROLL ALL THE WAY UP OR TO ROLL DOWN. *TR

THE FRAME ON MY WIFE'S 2001 ISUZU RODEO LS RUSTED OUT. THE STABILIZER BAR ON THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER DETACHED FROM THE FRAME AND IS IRREPARABLE. THE VEHICLE HAS 78,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

2000 ISUZU RODEO WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE REAR SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ARE SO ROTTED THAT IT APPEARS THE VEHICLE IS TEETERING IN THE BRINK OF A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. ITS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION BY NHTSA AND CONSUMER COMPLAINT BLOGS ARE RIFE WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CONDITION. MY VEHICLE IS AN EASY VEHICLE TO SELL, NOT ABLE TO BE FIXED, AND UNDRIVABLE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, AND ISUZU (OR HONDA) SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE 4000 LB UNSAFE PAPER WEIGHTS IN OUR DRIVEWAYS. *TR

2001 ISUZU RODEO- 109,000 MILES. DRIVING IN TOWN, RODEO FELT UNSTABLE. PASSENGER SIDE STABILIZER BAR UNDERCARRIAGE RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. LUCKY TO GET HOME SAFELY. THE VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE, NOT ROAD SAFE. OPENED A CASE WITH ISUZU BUT NOT CONFIDENT IN THEIR CONCERN. OTHER THAN THE RUSTED FRAME, TRUCK IS IN GREAT SHAPE. GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO PUSH FOR A RECALL OR COMPENSATION. *TR

FAILURE OF REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK COMPONENT DRIVERS SIDE FROM FRAME DUE TO CORROSION, CAUSED VEHICLE TO SPIN 180 DEGREES, IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, NO COLLISION. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED, SPEED WAS 30-35MPH, RAIN, CRANBERRY HIGHWAY RT 28 IN WAREHAM MA, VEHICLE IS 2002 ISUZU AXIOM, APPROX, 115,000 MILES, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM. THERE APPEARS TO BE MORE THAN NORMAL AMOUNTS OF CORROSION ON FRAME AND COMPONENTS, VEHICLE IS IN FOR REPAIR AT TOWERS SERVICE CENTER,606 MACARTHUR BLVD, RT28 POCASSET MA 02559 ONCE THIS VEHICLE IS INSPECTED ON A LIFT I EXPECT THERE WILL BE OTHER ISSUES TO ADDRESS. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE WAS DUE TO TRAVEL TO THE STATE OF RI AT 60-65MPH BY MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AT URI. I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN AT THAT SPEED THESE VEHICLES ARE PRONE TO CORROSION AND SHOULD BE CAREFULLY INSPECTED, OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS THE DEALERS ARE FAR AND FEW BETWEEN THEY NO LONGER PRODUCE PRIVATE VEHICLES JUST COMMERCIAL TRUCKS, ONE MIGHT ASK WHY. THANK YOU, I SHALL GET IN TOUCH WITH A DEALER ABOUT THIS AS IT JUST HAPPENED TODAY PLEASE CHASE THIS COMPANY DOWN I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AGAIN THANK YOU FOR HELP. *TR

2001 ISUZU RODEO: 93,000 MILES FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED TO THE POINT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER ROAD SAFE. MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION RUN EXCELLENT. *TR

2001 ISUZU RODEO 80,000 MILES. OWNED 6 YEARS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH NO FOREWARNING I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN HAD TO DRIVE UNDER 15 MPH TO SAFE SPOT. THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE CONTROL ARM BROKE AWAY FROM THE CAR. NEEDED TO BE TOWED. EXAMINED BY MECHANIC AND THEN EXAMINED BY A WELDER, AND INFORMED THAT IT IS UN REPAIRABLE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF RUST TO THE FRAME. DEFECTIVE FRAME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 ISUZU RODEO, I HEARD A FEW LOUD POPS AND THEN MY TORCHEN BARS BROKE APART FROM THE FRAME CAUSING THE CAR TO SWERVE ALL OVER THE ROADWAY AND WAS UNCONTROLLABLE . I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CARS FRAME HAD RUSTED AND THE TORCHEN BARS COULD NOT BE FIXED WITH OUT INSTALLING A NEW FRAME. THE VEHICLES POWERTRAIN WARRANTY IS STILL IN EFFECT WHICH COVERS THE TORCHEN BARS HOWEVER, ISUZU CLAIMS THE FRAME IS NOT PART OF THAT WARRANTY. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY MECHANICS AND ALL HAVE STATED THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON IN RODEOS. I FEEL THAT THE FRAMES ON ISUZU RODEOS HAVE RUSTED PREMATURELY AND IS DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROADWAYS. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
