ISUZU Complaints

LOW FUEL INDICATOR IS ON CONSTANTLY. HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME AS THE GAS GAUGE WOULD WORK PROPERLY FOR THE FIRST 1/2 TANK, BUT BELOW 1/2 TANK WOULD SIMPLY SHOW EMPTY. NOW, AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, STILL SHOWS AS EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL LIGHT ON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS LIGHT FREQUENTLY ILLUMINATES AND THE VEHICLE HAS A DELAY IN STOPPING DISTANCE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE SENSORS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE THE DELAY IN STOPPING DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE IS A PART OF RECALL # 02I00200 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK).

LIKE MANY OTHERS I HAVE READ ABOUT, MY 2000 ISUZU TROOPER WITH ABOUT 63,000 MILES IS USING OIL EXCESSIVELY. MY MECHANIC HAS FOUND NO LEAKS. DUE TO THE NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT, WHY HAS ISUZU NOT ISSUED SOME KIND OF RECALL? *TR

I OWN A 2001 ISUZU RODEO. AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES, WHICH WAS AROUND JULY 2005, THE GAS STARTED GOING BACK AND FORTH AFTER ABOUT OF QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS WAS USED, WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. IT THOUGHT ITWAS EMPTY WHEN I ACTUALLY WAS ABOUT 8 MORE GALLONS OF GAS IN THE TANK. ALSO, ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE VEHICLE STARTED IDLING VERY ROUGHLY AND SOMETIMES SHUTTING OFF. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. ALSO, IT A IDLED VERY HIGH AT TIMES, AND SOMETIMES THE IDLING FLUCTUATED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW, ALMOST LIKE I WAS PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND SAW SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TWO PROBLEMS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 ISUZU AXIOM. THE VEHICLE'S A/T OIL TEMPERATURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION. THE SAME WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AT 41,715 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE PISTON ACCUMULATOR COVER. AT 43,543 MILES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CATCH GEAR AND STARTED TO SHUTTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. AT 45,800 MILES, THE FAILURE HAS RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE GASKET WAS MELTED AND LEAKING FLUID. THE DEALER ALSO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION SUB PAN BECAUSE IT WAS CRACKED. THE ENGINE SIZE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 46,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY IF I WOULD LET OFF THE GAS IT WOULD ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, SOMETHING JUST DIDNT FEEL RIGHT. I DECIDED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY , AND NOT MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS AFTER THERE WAS A LOUD BOOBING NOISE AND ALOT OF SMOKE, I IMMEDITLEY PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A JOLTING STOP . AT FIRST I WAS UNSURE OF WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I SAW ALL THE OIL. I LOOKED UNDER MY VEHICLE , AND THE DRIVE LINE THAT WAS CONECTED TO THE REAR END WAS COMPLETELY DETACHED AND LAYING ON THE GROUND. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THE REAR END SEEMED TO BE LOCKED. AND THAT IT WAS CONFIRMED WHEN HE WAS UNLOADING IT FROM THE TOW TRUCK THE TIRES WOULDN'T TURN. THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD JUST COME APART ON A VEHICLE. IT DIDN'T HAVE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF FACTORY DEFECT. *AK

2002 ISUZU RODEO CUSTOMER STATES THAT THEY BROUGHT THE CAR AND ENGINE STARTED TO SMELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING COSTING $872.71 THE CUSTOMER WANTS TO BE REIMBURSED **CC THE CONSUMER TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, BECAUSE SHE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN ISUZU DEALER BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE A CRACKED HEAD ON THE ENGINE. THE CONSUMER WANTS REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE PREVIOUS DEALERSHIP SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED UNDER WARRANTY AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. *JB
