ISUZU Complaints

I HAVE A 2002 ISUZU AXIOM WITH 84,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A DEFECT THAT MANY, MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING OR HAVE EXPERIENCED. THIS DEFECT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER NOT TO MENTION OTHER ISSUES WITH THE POWER WINDOWS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, STARTER FAILING TO START RIGHT AWAY

AT LAST INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THERE IS A LOT OF REAR FRAME RUST ON MY VEHICLE, AND IT MAY NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE AS THE RUST PROGRESSES. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. I BOUGHT MY 2002 ISUZU IN SEPT. OF 2012. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, AND I WOULD NEVER SELL IT IN THE CONDITION IT IS, I BELIEVE ITS NOT SAFE. I NEED A REMEDY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ISUZU ASCENDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V519000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE RECALL REPAIR AND DID NOT HAVE THE TOOLS TO PROVIDE THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN OF WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE.

THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 158,880.

CODE B2960 KEY CODE INCORRECT BUT VALID. WHICH MEANS A FAULTY IGNITION KEY CYLINDER. SECURITY LIGHT FLASHES, ENGINE CRANKS, FAILS TO START. HAVE TO WAIT 10 OR MORE MINUTES TO RESET. STILL FAILS TO START. WAIT ANOTHER 10 OR MORE MINUTES FOR RESET. AFTER MORE THAN 20 MINUTES, IT STARTS, MAYBE. ISUZU MOTORS DOES NOT SUPPLY ITS DEALERSHIPS ANYMORE WITH KEY CUTTING CODES, IGNITION KEY CYLINDER PARTS, NOR THE SOFTWARE RELEARN PROCEDURES TO RESOLVE THIS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. CHEVY AND GMC DEALERSHIPS DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO BE ABLE TO WORK ON ISUZU VEHICLES TO CUT KEYS OR RELEARN THE IGNITION TO THE BODY CONTROL MODULE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 ISUZU NPR. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V042000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY ON. I'VE GOTTEN IT CHECKED BY 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I'VE GOTTEN THE SAME RESPONSE FROM EACH. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A MISFIRE, I NEEDED AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SEND UNIT, OXYGEN SENSOR BANK1/BANKA, AND THAT THE OIL WAS LEAKING BAD FROM AROUND THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. I GOT THE COILS CHANGED, SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES DONE, CHANGED THE OIL PRESSURE AND OXYGEN SENSORS TOO. ABOUT A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THAT THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON WITH THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING. THE OIL WAS FINE SO I TOOK IT TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON IT AND TOOK IT FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THE AGAIN NEEDED AN OXYGEN SENSOR AND OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SENDING UNIT. I CHANGED THEM AGAIN AND THEY USED THREADING TAPE FOR THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR TO STOP THE LEAKING OF OIL. I'VE SPENT AROUND $800 SO FAR AND 2 MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT IS BACK ON NEEDING THE SAME THINGS, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND OXYGEN SENSOR. I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED WITH A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THAT MAYBE IT'S A DEFECT IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM OR SOMETHING ELECTRICAL THAT KEEP TAKING OUT THOSE SENSORS BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING FINE. WHEN I START MY VEHICLE UP FROM SITTING OVER NIGHT, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAY ON AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING STAYS ON WHILE IDLING. WHEN I START DIVING THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING GOING OFF UNTIL I STOP, THEN IT'S BACK ON. I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF IF I'M STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THEN BACK ON TO FINISH DRIVING. IF I DRIVE FOR ABOUT 15 OR 20 MINUTES, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING STAYS OFF UNTIL I START IT UP AGAIN THE NEXT TIME. IT MIGHT BE A DEFECT WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND HOPE SOMEONE WILL FIND THE CAUSE BECAUSE TO KEEP GETTING THE SAME REPAIRS OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS EXPENSIVE. ITS $150 JUST TO HAVE THE OXYGEN SENSOR CHANGED NOT INCLUDING THE PART AND THE PART IS $65, AND IF GOING TO CAR DEALERS IS DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THAT AMOUNT. PROBLEMS FROM 2014 TIL CURRENT

I PULLED INTO A HANDICAP PARKING SPOT IN FRONT OF A SUPERMARKET, PUT IT IN PARK, SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. GOT OUT OUT VEHICLE, LOCKED THE DOORS. STARTED TO WALK AWAY AND A GUY THAT WAS SITTING AT A TABLE IN FRONT OF STORE YELLED THERE GOES YOUR CAR. I RAN BESIDE THE CAR TO TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR CRASHED BACKWARDS INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND WAS TOLD BY THEM TO CALL INSURANCE COMPANY AND TO LEAVE IF BOTH VEHICLES WERE OKAY TO DRIVE. I FEEL THE PARK GEAR FAILED AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE JUST IN PARK A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON FAULTY GAS TANK. HAD CAR INSPECTED BY ISUZU FACILITY 2/4/16 AND NEW PART(S) ORDERED. CANNOT GET ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHEN PART WILL BE IN AND MY CAR REPAIRED. IN THE MEANTIME, DRIVING WITH FAULTY, GAS-LEAKING, PROBABLY DANGEROUS CAR. GM APPARENTLY NOT COMMUNICATING WITH ISUZU AND PARTS NOT GETTING PRODUCED.

B2960 CODE. KEY CODE INCORRECT BUT VALID. BODY CONTROL MODUAL FAILS TO SENSE THE CHIPPED KEY. VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO START ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS RECENTLY. ISUZU DEALERSHIPS DO NOT HAVE CAPABILITY TO CUT NEW KEYS OR REPROGRAM THE BCM. CHEVY AND GMC DEALERSHIPS WITH NOT SERVICE ISUZU VEHICLES, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCTS.
