ISUZU Complaints

I OWN A 99 ISUZU AMIGO WITH A 3.2L V6. THE ROD AND MAIN BEARINGS HAVE GONE CAUSING IT TO KNOCK REAL BAD. CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN ANYMORE. *TR

AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE LOW BEAMS HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES TURN BACK ON. THE HIGH BEAMS WORK WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND WE HAVE TO TURN THEM ON TO HAVE HEADLAMPS. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS DON'T SEEM TO BE AFFECTED BY THE PROBLEM DURING THE DAY. PROBLEM HAPPENS ONLY AT NIGHT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 ISUZU RODEO SPORTS. WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTO GARAGE FOR A DIAGNOSIS, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE AUTO GARAGE INFORMATION WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,306 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,000. UPDATED 6/2/08 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT THE SAME TIME AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK.

I PURCHASED MY 2001 ISUZU RODEO IN MARCH 2002. SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT, I NOTICED THAT MY GAS LIGHT WOULD SHOW EMPTY EVEN AFTER A COMPLETE FILL UP. THE ONLY WAY I HAD TO DETERMINE IF I NEEDED FUEL WAS BY RESETTING MY TRIPOMETER EACH TIME I FILLED UP. I WAS OKAY WITH DOING THAT FOR YEARS UNTIL IN 2006 WHEN I NEEDED TO RENEW BY REGISTRATION, I COULD NOT PASS EMISSIONS BECAUSE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. WHEN THEY DETERMINED WHAT THE CAUSE WAS, IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL LINE. I TOOK IT IN FOR AN ESTIMATE OF REPAIR. I HAD NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER AND HAD TO PAY OVER $800.00 TO HAVE A NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT PUT IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN CASE FOR LARGE NUMBERS OF 2001 ISUZU RODEO OWNERS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WAS NEVER A RECALL ISSUE. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, I THINK THE CAR MANUFACTURER SO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MATTER AND FIX ALL OF THE CARS THAT ARE STILL OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN JUST A FLUKE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 ISUZU RODEO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE REDUCED POWER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND DECELERATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURES, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,135 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,130.

I GET FREQUENT OIL CHANGES IN MY 99 ISUZU TROOPER AND HAD JUST GOTTEN ONE LAST MONTH. I HAD AT LEAST 2700 MILES BEFORE MY NEXT ONE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM MY HOOD AND ALL MY DASH LIGHTS CAME ON LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. I PULLED OVER AND FOUND OUT THAT MY ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPT TO PUT IT OUT AND GOT IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE TO LATER FIND OUT THAT THE PISTON HAD GOT THROWN FROM THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT LOCKED UP DUE TO NO OIL GETTING TO THAT PISTON. SO NOW I HAVE TO GET A NEW ENGINE WHICH COST ABOUT THE SAME AS THE CAR. *TR

I BOUGHT IT USED IN OCT 2007 WITH 60,000 MI ON IT. THE OIL GETS CHANGED EVERY 3,000 MI BUT I NEED TO ADD A QT OF OIL EVERY 700 MI. AS FAR AS GAS MILEAGE (IT'S THE PITS ) MAYBE 11 MPG AT BEST. I THOUGHT ISUZU WAS A GOOD BUY (GUESS NOT). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 ISUZU AXIOM. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES. THE CONTACT HAS TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ONCE, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. UPDATED 05/06/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE HAPPENED WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP. AS THE CONSUMER WAS ABOUT TO STOP, THE ENGINE REVVED. THE CONSUMER CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. UPDATED 05/06/08. *JB

I HAVE A 1998 ISUZU AMIGO, THERE WAS ONE RECALL ON THE SUN VISOR; BUT, THE SOLUTION ISUZU INSTATED IS SHORT TERM AND DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE SUN SHADE DOES NOT REMAIN IN PLACE AND HAS DROP DOWN AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE CONTACTED ISUZU AND ALL THEY DO IS KEEP GLUING THE ANKER BRACKS TO THE GLASS ROOF AND THEY KEEP LOSING ADHERISION AND FALL OFF. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2001 ISUZU RODEO USED FROM A DEALER IN 2002. THE FUEL GAGE STARTED FALLING TO EMPTY TRIGGERING THE GAS LIGHT TO COME ON ALONG WITH THE CEL, SINCE IT WASN'T A MAJOR PROBLEM WE HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED SINCE BEING QUOTED OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUEL PUMP BECAUSE OF A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR UNIT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE AND ISUZU IS NOT PICKING UP THE RESPONSIBILITY OF REPLACING THIS. NOW BECAUSE WE CAN'T PASS EMISSIONS WITH THE CEL ON WE ARE FORCED TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. *TR
