ISUZU Complaints

THE ISSUE STARTED WITH MY LIGHTS STAYING ON. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. MY BATTERY WAS DYING AND I FINALLY SEEN THAT SOME OF MY LIGHTS OUTSIDE OF THE CAR WERE NOT SHUTTING OFF. I TRIED MANUALLY SHUTTING THEM OFF AND THAT DID NOT WORK. NOW MY HEAT AND AIR DOES NOT WORK. I'M SURE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. WHEN I WENT TO CHECK THE FUSES IT SHORTED OUT WHEN I PULLED THE COVER OFF. I HOPE MY CAR DOES NOT CATCH FIRE NEXT. I DO HAVE THE ISSUE WITH MY DRIVER DOOR NOT WORKING. IT WORKED WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR, A COUPLE MONTHS LATER MY DRIVER DOOR WINDOW WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. WHEN I CALLED ISUZU THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO TRAVEL TO ALABAMA IF I WANTED THEM TO FIX IT. OTHERWISE I COULD HAVE A MECHANIC DO IT AND I WOULD BE REIMBURSED, I JUST DONT HAVE 7-$800 TO THROW OUT THERE.

HAD AUTO TOWED TO MIDAS AFTER INABILITY TO START, ATTEMPTED JUMP START, UNSUCCESSFUL. BATTERY REPLACED ON 12/28/15.

CAR PAID IS PILLING OFF WE PAINT THIS CAR 3 TIMES AND A THOSES THE SAMETHING ALL CLEAR PAINT WHIT IN 3-5 MONTH START TO COME OFF CAN ANY BODY TELL ME IS GM HAD A RECAL FOR THIS

CLUSTER PANEL DOES NOT WORK. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING REGULARLY WHETHER STATIONARY OR DRIVING.. THEY WORK INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING THE USE OF HIGH BEAMS. IT HAS BECOME A NIGHT TIME DRIVING SAFETY ISSUE. CAR WILL TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING CAUSING MY DAUGHTER TO HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR SAFETY.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY HIT A POTHOLE AND HEARD A LOUD THUMP FROM REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT TILL THE NEXT DAY WHEN I DROVE TO WORK. IT SEEMED EVERY BUMP I GOT THE SAME NOISE. GOT TO WORK,LOOKED UNDER CAR, ALL SEEMED FINE. JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK IN REAR CARGO ARE AND SAW LUMP IN CARPET. THE SPRING WAS POKING UP THRU THE REAR FLOOR !!!! HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL? AFTER SEEING THE POSTS ONLINE I REALIZE THIS IS COMMON. I NEVER KNEW, BEEN DRIVING VEHICLE FOR 10 YEARS WITH NO ISSUES.

DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING CALL AND STEERING SUDDENLY SEEMED "FUNNY". PULLED OVER, HAD CAR TOWED AND WAS TOLD THE MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SWAY BAR RUSTED FROM THE MAINFRAME OF THE CAR AND THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN. RESEARCHED ON WEB AND ISUZU HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. CALLED HONDA AND THEY SUGGESTED WE TOW THE CAR OVER 110 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. IF AT THAT TIME THEY INSPECTED IT AND DETERMINE ISUZU IS AT FAULT THE MAY OR MAY NOT OFFER ANY COMPENSATION. I FEEL IT IS UNREASONABLE TO REQUIRE ME TO TOW THE CAR 110 MILES. I EXAMINED RECEIPTS FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND ISUZU ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS CAR. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED ON 11/10/11 AND THIS WAS TYPED ON THE RECEIPT: CAU INSPECT FOUND STAGE 1. TREAT PER RECALL. COMPLETE OPERATES AS DESIGN. LABELED A STAGE 1 FIX. OBVIOUSLY, THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. SINCE ISUZU HAS RECALLED THIS CAR DO I HAVE ANY OPTIONS? IS THERE A CLASS LAWSUIT AGAINST ISUZU?

SOMETIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING A LIGHT COME UP POWER REDUCE AND I CAN'T GO FASTER ITS GOING SLOW DOWN AND JUST SHUT OFF.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN GOING TO STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL GIVES RESISTANCE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS GRINDING OF METAL, AND THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP INSTEAD IT SLOWS DOWN UNTIL IT REACHES THE STOP. I HAVE REPLACED THE WHOLE BRAKING SYSTEM YET THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM VERY SIMILAR TO THE RECALL MADE ON THE 1998 ISUZU RODEO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS RUSTED AND FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS WORK VERY ERRATICALLY BOTH WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. LOW-BEAM LIGHTS WILL GO OFF ON A MOMENT'S NOTICE AND ONLY HIGH-BEAM LIGHTS WILL WORK. MORE RECENTLY, EVEN THE HIGH-BEAN LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ACTING UP AND TURNING OFF. HEADLIGHTS SOCKETS WERE REPLACED AT SOME POINT BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS CONDITION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND ALL THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT.
