ISUZU Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS FAILURE WITH THE CHASSIS. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

WHEN DRIVING THE 1999 ISUZU OASIS, THE VEHICLE JUST GOES DEAD WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A SHOP WHO CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND SAID THE STALL MAY BE RELATED TO THE IDLE AIR CONTROL. THE PROBLEM OF THE VEHICLE GOING DEAD WITHOUT WARNING HAS OCCURRED 10 TIMES IN 4 WEEKS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BETWEEN 25 AND 55 MPH AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS SUDDENLY SHUTTING DOWN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE, EVERYTHING WENT BLANK, THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE OFTEN UNTIL THE CAR COULD NOT START. I HAVE TRACKED IT TO THE IGNITION SWITCH WHERE I HAD TO SOMETIMES HOLD IT HALFWAY IN STARTING POSITION IN ORDER TO START THE CAR OTHERWISE IT WOULD NOT START (IT WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT START) I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE AND IN FACT IN FOUND THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR IGNITION SWITCH, I CALLED HONDA DEALER FIRST AND THEY DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CAR AND STATED TO CALL ISUZU MOTORS BECAUSE IT WAS SOLD THROUGH THEM. I CALL ISUZU MOTORS AND WAS TOLD THAT IN FACT THIS IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AT THE END OF 2002. I SPOKE WITH THE REP ABOUT THIS ISSUE CLAIMING THAT OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, THEY HAVE DECLINED TO REPLACE IT AND STATED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS IF I WANT TO HAVE IT DONE. I AM ASKING AND DEMANDING THAT ISUZU REPLACES THIS BAD IGNITION SWITCH AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

03 ISUZU RODEO 3.2L BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. TAKES A QUART EVERY 250 MILES. DONE EVERYTHING RECOMMENDED AT THE RECOMMENDED INTERVALS, OIL CHANGES, EGR VALVE, PCV VALVE, ECT. I AM VERY GOOD ABOUT CHANGING RECOMMENDED PARTS WHEN NEEDED. THIS ENGINE SHOULD NOT BE TAKING OIL. I DO NOT TOW OR REV OVER 5,000 RPM, EVER! OTHER ISUZU OWNERS HAVE ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THIS TO ME, THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ISUZU ENGINE. I NOW NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF 3,000 PLUS INSTALLATION LABOR CHARGES. THIS IS THE THIRD RODEO I HAVE HAD, GOOD LUCK WITH THE OTHER TWO, BUT NOT THIS ONE. IF THIS CANNOT BE RESOLVED, I WILL PURCHASE ANOTHER MODEL IN THE FUTURE. *TR
