ROLL OVER CRASH DOWN EMBANKMENT 160 FEET INTO RIVER UPSIDE DOWN AND HIT THREE TREES BEFORE LANDING. BOTH AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND MY SON WAS INJURED WITH A BROKEN PELVIS AND HUGE HEMOTOMA? I BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE ALL THE PRESSURE WAS ON HIS PELVIS WITH JUST THE SEAT BELT. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT'S MOTHER HAD BOUGHT A CAR ON 9-23-05, AND SHE EXPERIENCED A LOT OF PROBLEMS. THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING AND SQUEALING. THE ALIGNMENT WAS SEVERELY OFF, AND THE CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS OUT OF CENTER. WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT ANY SPEED THE FRONT WHEELS STOPPED, AND IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS HITTING THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK IT AND FIXED NINE THINGS REGARDING THE WHEELS, THE BRAKES AND OTHER THINGS. SHE WAS NOT SURE EXACTLY. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE MOTION IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. SHE WANTED A NEW CAR. A MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE MANAGER THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS 1999 ISUZU TROOPER. ON 8-04 SHE TOOK VEHICLE FOR 60,000 MILE MAINTENANCE AND VEHICLE BLEW UP IN 7-05. SHE SAID THE CAUSE WAS A PCV VALVE THAT DID NOT WORK AND ALLOWED THE OIL TO DRAIN INTO ANOTHER PART OF THE ENGINE. SHE HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE REBUILT, AND THE MECHANIC THAT DID THE WORK TOLD HER THIS. SHE FELT THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE PCV VALVE. THE WARRANTY STATED THAT THE DEALER COVERED THE PARTS FROM THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER, LABOR PERFORMED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE REPAIR FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES, AND VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED UNDER BOTH PROTECTIONS. THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST. THE DEALER LAUGHED AT THE CONTACT AND TOLD HER THE TROOPER WAS KNOWN FOR ENGINE FAILURE.*AK *NM

HIT A COW AT 55 MPH, NO BRAKES APPLIED, AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. TOTALED CAR, DID NOT ROLL, FRONT IMPACT ONLY CAUSED ENOUGH DAMAGE TO DECLARE AUTO TOTALED. HAVE PHOTOS. 93 ISUZU TROOPER. *NM

I BOUGHT MY ISUZU AXIOM IN NOV 2002. IT HAS HAD SEVERAL HAZARDOUS DEFECTS. 1) IN MAY 2005, AT 60,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW TO 20-30 MPH, NO LONGER ACCELERATING. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID BURNT UP. AFTER TWO TRANSMISSION FLUSHES THE TRANSMISSION STILL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONLY AFTER GETTING ISUZU INVOLVED, DID THE DEALERSHIP HONOR THE WARRANTY AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THREE WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK. THE SAME DAY IT SUDDENLY SLOWED AGAIN, NOT ACCELERATING PAST 20 MPH AND IT SLIPPED/SPUN ACCELERATING FROM STOP LIGHTS. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE MAIN OIL SEAL WAS REPLACED. AFTER THAT IT WORKED WITH INTERMITTENT PERIODS OF SLIPPING/SPINNING WHEN ACCELERATING. IT PROGRESSIVELY BECAME SLOWER TO ACCELERATE WHEN PASSING, CHANGING LANES. IN SEPT. 05 THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD AGAIN, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE GOING UP A HILL, CAUSING A NEAR ACCIDENT WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED AGAIN, FOR THE THIRD TIME! WHAT GOOD IS ISUZU AXIOM'S 10 YEAR/120,000 MILE WARRANTY IF THE TRANSMISSION KEEPS GOING OUT SUDDENLY AS I DRIVE IT? THE WARRANTY WON'T PREVENT ME FROM BEING IN AN ACCIDENT THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS. IN ADDITION IT HAS EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING DEFECTS. 2) SEPT. 04 THE TIMING BELT CRACKED AT 44,000 MILES, NEEDING REPLACED. PER THE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE IT SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACED UNTIL 100,000 MILES. 3)JUNE 04, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GAS METER DIPPED TO EMPTY AFTER JUST FILLING UP. THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED REPLACED. 4)JUNE 04, THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AT THE DEALER. 5)MARCH 04 AND OCTOBER 04 THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS NEEDED REPACKED AND NOW NEED FULLY REPLACED DUE TO BARELY PASSING SEPT 05 STATE INSPECTION. 6)THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SKIDS TO STOP WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED IN THE RAIN. *JB

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THE TRUCK GOES INTO POWER DOWN MODE. WE HAD IT TOWED AND THEY FOUND NOTHING BECAUSE THE COMPUTER DID NOT SET A CODE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. WHEN YOU LET THE TRUCK COOL DOWN THE LIGHT GOES OFF. THEY NEVER FIND ANYTHING. *JB

VIBRATIONS IN THE FRONT END. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES AND HAD THEM BALANCED 3 TIMES. I ALSO HAD THEM REPLACE THE TIRES AGAIN. FRONT HUBS WERE LEAKING AND THEY SAID THIS WAS NORMAL. THIS TRUCK IS NOT STABLE. *JB

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ONE DAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2000 ISUZU RODEO. I STARTED TO GET BAD GAS MILEGE. I TOOK IT TO THE ISUZU DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE GAS FILTER BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THEY THEN TOLD ME IT WAS MY FUEL PUMP OR SENSOR ACUTALLY AND THAT ISUZU WOULD NOT REPLACE IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY PART AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DROP THE $300 AND SOME TO PAY FOR IT. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS UNDER WARRANTLY EXCEPT THAT.

BOUGHT USED 2000 ISUZU RODEO 2 YEARS AGO ONLY HAVING 30,000 MILES ON IT, SINCE I BOUGHT IT I HAVE PUT OIL IN IT ABOUT EVERY 2 WEEKS, NO LEAKS, JUST ALWAYS SEEMING TO BE LOW. A WEEK AGO IT JUST STOPPED, TOWING IT TO A GARAGE ONLY TO FIND OUT IT LOST OIL PRESSURE WHICH CAUSED IT TO STOP. THE END RESULT IS IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE AND IT ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. I DO NOT HAVE 7000 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO, ON TOP OF A CAR PAYMENT ON TOP OF IT. IS THERE ANY RECALL OR HELP I CAN GET FROM THE MANUFACTURER? *NM
