ISUZU Complaints

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY ON MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT THAT NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED. THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL, AND PRESENTS A TRAFFIC SAFETY CONCERN IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL WHILE DRIVING.

AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP, I APPLIED THE BRAKES WITH WHAT WAS TYPICAL FORCE FOR SUCH CONDITIONS. THE ROAD WAS WET AND AS I WAS BRAKING, THE VEHICLE WENT OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE OVERPASS OF THE ROAD. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE WHEELS LOCKED UP, AND THE VEHICLE SKIDDED, USING EXCESSIVE BRAKING DISTANCE, THUS RESULTING IN A LOW-SPEED REAR-END ACCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. LITTLE DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY VEHICLE, A 1999 ISUZU RODEO WAS PUSHED BACK. I NOW FIND OUT THAT ISUZU HAS ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE ABS, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ACCIDENT AND THE RESULTING DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE DAMAGE HAS NEVER BEEN REPAIRED. I WOULD LIKE ISUZU, AS A PART OF ITS RECALL CAMPAIGN TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER, FREE OF CHARGE.

DT: CONSUMER STATES THAT THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SHE IS CONCERNED THAT SHE WILL RUN OUT OF GAS AND SHE CANNOT KEEP UP WITH HOW MUCH GAS SHE ACTUALLY HAS.*TT *SB

DT: WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT MIDNIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING. THERE WAS A LOUD THUMP. PULLED OVER ,AND TIRE HAD EXPLODED. HAD TOWED TO HOME. CALLED AAA TO COME OUT AND CHANGE TIRE AND PUT ON SPARE TIRE. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF RUNNING OVER OR STRIKING AN OBJECT. WHEN WENT TO SERVICE DEALER FOR TIRES, DEALER SAID TIRE SHOULD NOT HAVE DETERIORATED. DEALER SUGGESTED CONSUMER TAKE PICTURE OF THIS UNIQUE DAMAGE TO THE TIRE. NO PROBLEMS SINCE THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THERE WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THE REMAINING TIRES WERE CONTINENTIAL BRAND TIRES ,AND THE VEHICLE STILL SHOOK, EVEN AFTERALANCING TIRES AND ALIGNMENT.*AK

DT: WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T START BECAUSE LIGHT IN DASHBOARD WOULD SAY UNKNOWN DRIVER,. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE WIRING. SECOND TIME SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION, AND PUT IN A NEW IGITION. FOR 3 NIGHTS AFTER GETTING IT BACK IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AGAIN.*AK

MY 1999 ISUZU VEHICROSS HAS HAD CRONIC ISSUES WITH THE WINDOWS GETTING STUCK 3/4'S WAY AND SOMETIMES 1/2 WAY. I'M SURE ISUZU KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WHEN I SAY THAT. ANYWAYS, THE OWNERS HERE NEED A PERMENANT REPLACMENT PART TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

DT: CONTACT STATES VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE SERVICE DEALER DID REPAIRS 4 TIMES, BUT IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE PROBLEM RETURNED. *AK

2003 RODEO ENGINE FAILUE AT 48K. ISUZU REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY AND BLAMING ME FOR DAMAGE BECAUSE I CANNOT PRODUCE ALL OF MY OIL CHANGE RECIEPTS. MY 2000 RODEO ENGINE FAILED AT 35K AND ISUZU REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM AMAZED AT HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND "OIL USAGE" POST I AM FINDING ON THE WEB FROM OTHER ISUZU OWNERS.

FIRST OF ALL I'VE HAD MY AXIOM FOR 3 YEARS AND ITS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP ON A LEAST 7 OR 8 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE INITIAL PROBLEM THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS THE CONTINUED FAILURE OF THE A/C. EACH AND EVERYTIME THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN WHICH WAS FIXED. ALSO DOING THESE VISITS I WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT A POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHICH WAS ALWAYS IGNORED AND NOT RESOLVED. THEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING ON A REGULAR BASIS BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD GEAR AND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH FUEL GUAGE INDICATOR. MY TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A WEEK IN WHICH THE FUEL INDICATOR WAS RESOLVED AND A SEAL WAS REPLACED FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE IN WHICH I DID. NOW ITS BEEN 3 WEEKS SINCE I'VE RECEIVED MY TRUCK BACK AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BETWEEN 3RD & 4TH GEAR. I'VE RESEARCHED OTHER COMPLAINTS AND THERE SEEMS TO BE AN OVERALL WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I'M NERVOUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS
