ISUZU Complaints

THE BOLT ATTACHING ONE OF THE TIMING BELT ROLLERS BROKE AND THE ENGINE QUIT AND WOULDN'T START. *TR

I OWN A 2004 ISUZU ASCENDER AND SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN WORKING ERRATICALLY, AND NOW, NOT AT ALL. SPECIFICALLY THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER ARE NON-FUNCTIONING, AND THE VOLTMETER AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE GIVE FALSE READINGS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND AM TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE WARRANTY IS NOW UP. I HAVE CONTACTED ISUZU OF AMERICA AND TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL AND WILL HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. BECAUSE THIS INVOLVES THE SPEEDOMETER, I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY A CO-WORKER OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY WHICH IS A SISTER VEHICLE, AND SHE IS ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

CONSUMER FRAUD - PURCHASED A CAR UNDER THE PRETENSE THAT THE CAR WAS ACCIDENT FREE. LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR HAS A SALVAGED TITLE. *TR

I TOOK THE DEALER ISUZU TO LEMON LAW AND I WAS TOLD IT WORKS AS DESIGNED. THE JURY WAS SO STUPID IT WAS UN BELIEVABLE, THEY ALL CAME UP TO MY WIFE AND I AND SAID MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERS TO GET IT FIXED. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH ISN'T THAT WHY I AM HERE IN COURT? GOOD LUCK PEOPLE ARE STUPID AND WE ARE STUCK DRIVING AN UNSAFE CARE BECAUSE CONSUMER REPORTS WILL NOT GET INVOLVED. LEMON CARS FOR SALE ANY ISUZU CHEAP (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2000, MAKE=ISUZU, MODEL=RODEO). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ISUZU ASCENDER. WHENEVER THE CONTACT APPROACHES A STOP SIGN OR A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT RESTART OCCASIONALLY.

I HAVE A '97 ISUZU RODEO. I HAVE KEPT IT IN GOOD SHAPE. THE FRAME OF THE CAR HAS CORRODED TO THE POINT WHERE THE FRAME HAS BROKEN. I AM SO GLAD THIS WAS DISCOVERED BY MY TECHNICIAN. IF THIS HAD FULLY COME APART ON THE ROAD IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM SURE OURS IS NOT THE ONLY RODEO TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THESE THINGS ARE TIMEBOMBS ON THE ROAD! SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO COMPENSATE OWNERS OF THESE CARS. THE FRAME OF THE CAR SHOULD NOT JUST COME APART! THIS WILL KILL PEOPLE ON THE ROADS. *TR
