ISUZU Complaints

MY EGR VALVE ON MY 96 ISUZU RODEO KEEPS GOING OUT. I HAVE WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND HE SAID THAT IN THE LAST YEAR HE HAS SOLD OVER 100 EGR VALVES FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THEM. I NEED TO KNOW WHY THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS DO TO IT BEING AN ONGOING PROBLEM CAUSING EXTREMELY BAD GAS USE. *JB

EXTREME VIBRATION WHILE COMING TO A STOP. STARTS AROUND 15-20 MPH AND CONTINUES AS LONG AS THE BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED. NORMALLY I HEAR (FEEL) IT AND PUMP THE BRAKES TO TRY AND MAKE IT STOP. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SINCE WE PURCHASED NEW IN 2001 AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN TODAY. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHER MECHANICS. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO AFFECT THE ACTUAL BRAKING BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS NORMAL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS IN THE FRONT. DID NOT HELP. LOCAL DEALERSHIP NO LONGER SELLS/SERVICES ISUZU. *JB

A BRAKE PROBLEM THAT OCCURS WHEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKES OVER BUMPS. THE BRAKING DISTANCE INCREASES AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF FOLLOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE CLOSELY. AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. *NM

2002 RODEO GAS FUEL PUMP IS DEFECTIVE. *TS THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. *JB

FIRST, THE GAS GAUGE STARTED GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN FULL & EMPTY AND THE LIGHT FLASHES. NOW, I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE FUEL PUMP? IT STARTS AND THEN IT DIES. CANT PARK UP HILL, WONT START. HAVE TO PARK DOWN HILL TO KEEP GAS FLOWING TO INJECTORS. *JB

FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED AT 63000 MILES. SAME DESCRIPTION AS THE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I.E. EMPTY LIGHT STARTS BLINKING OR STAYS ON WHEN TANK IS AT LEAST 3/4 FULL AND NEEDLE WILL DROP TO EMPTY AFTER A FEW MILES AFTER FILL UP. FORCED TO EITHER USE TRIP ODOMETER TO TELL WHEN TO REFILL OR SPEND $500+ TO REPAIR SENDING UNIT AND THE FUEL PUMP. VERY POOR THAT ISUZU WON'T ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE MANY INCIDENCES THAT DO NOT GO REPORTED TO THE NHTSA AS WELL. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE JERKS FORWARD EVERY TIME THE GEAR IS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. UPON INSPECTION THE INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED THERE IS A HOLE IN THE PISTON COVER CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE. THE PISTON COVER NEEDS REPLACED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO DETERMINED THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS FAILED AND IT WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. UPDATED 06/07/2006. *AK *TS

ENGINE OIL BURNING ISSUE. 1999 ISUZU TROOPER S. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE BURNS OVER 1 QUART OF OIL PER 3K MILES. HAS DONE THE SAME SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2003 WITH 52K MILES. NOW HAS 93K MILES. BASED ON ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE OIL FLOW PORTS WITHIN THE 3.5 LITER V6 AND IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. *JB

FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS. EVEN IF TANK IS FULL THE GAUGE SHOWS AS ZERO. THERE ARE OVER 40+ COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. ISUZU STATES THEY KNOW OF NO ISSUE. *JB
