ISUZU Complaints

I HAVE A CONTINUING POWER WINDOW MECHANISM PROBLEM THAT IS AFFECTING BOTH WINDOWS. IT WAS FIXED ONCE PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIRS WERE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY SICE THE VEHICLE WAS NMORE THAN THREE YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. THROUGH A USER GROUP, I'VE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THE WINDOW PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON. ISUZU DENIES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.*AK

(1) NORMAL FUELING AND DRIVING (2) FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR FAILS TO REPORT ACCURATELY, FUEL LAMP FAILS AND LIGHTS PREMATURELY; CHECK ENGINE LAMP FAILS AND ALSO LIGHTS AND SEEMS TO BE TRIGGERED BY THE INACCURATE LOW FUEL LEVEL EVENTS; OWNER IS ANNOYED AT PREMATURELY FILLING GAS TANK AND WOULD LIKE MANUFACTURER/DEALER TO RESOLVE THESE PROBLEMS. PROBLEM PERSISTS DESPITE FOLLOWING DEALER RECOMMENDATIONS (3) DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT 'CHECK ENGINE' LAMP ACTUALLY REFERS TO THE GAS CAP, DEALER RECOMMENDED TIGHTENING GAS CAP TO RESOLVE CHECK ENGINE LAMP ISSUE. REFILLING GAS TANK AND DRIVING A FEW MILES RESOLVED PREMATURE FUEL LAMP ISSUE, BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY. THESE ISSUES REOCCUR WITHIN DRIVING 50 MILES OF A FULL TANK. CHECK ENGINE LAMP ISSUE PERSISTS. PREMATURE LOW FUEL LAMP ISSUE PERSISTS. UNDERESTIMATED FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR ISSUE PERSISTS.*AK

POWER WINDOW MOTOR FAILURE DUE WINDOW TRACK MISALINGMENT ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. PASSENGER SIDE REPLACED IN JUNE OF 2004 UNDER WARRANTY BUT IS FAILING AGAIN.*AK

AN ONGOING INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH ENGINE STALLING WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP POSITION. VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY RESTART AT TIMES OR NOT AT ALL UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EACH TIME.*AK

I OWN A 2001 VEHICROSS BY ISUZU. I BOUGHT IT NEW SIX MONTHS AGO AND HAD ONLY 14,000 MILES ON IT. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE TRACK ALIGNMENT. AT THE MOMENT I HAVE 24,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS BEGINNING TO FAIL.

THE WINDOWS ON BOTH SIDES HUNG UP WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE THEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I BELONG TO A CLUB & PRACTICALLY EVERYONE IS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. SHOULD THE WINDOW BECOME SERIOUSLY LODGED, IT COULD BREAK & CAUSE INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER.*AK

THE WINDOWS OF MY 2000 ISUSU VEHICROSS CONSTANTLY BIND UP. I'VE HAD TO REMOVE THE SEAL AROUND THE WINDOWS JUST TO GET THEM TO ROLL UP. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE OF THE VEHICLE AND IS A SERIOUS ANNOYANCE!*AK

WINDOWS FAIL TO GO UP PROPERLY. DEALERS DENY PROBLEM OR JUST REPLACE REGULATORS & PROBLEM RECURS. MANY OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS & SOME HAVE HAD THEIRS IN SEVERAL TIMES. POORLY DESIGNED LIFT MECHANISM. ISUZU IS AWARE OF PROBLEM BUT DENIES. *AK

I OWN A 1999 VEHICROSS BY ISUZU. I BOUGHT IT TWO YEARS AGO AND HAVE ONLY 469 MILES ON IT. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE TRACK ALIGNMENT. *AK IT COST ME $800 TO FIX. UPON COMING IN CONTACT WITH AN ORGANIZATION OF SEVERAL HUNDRED VEHICROSS ENTHUSIASTS I DISCOVERED THAT THIS TYPE OF WINDOW FAILURE IS EPIDEMIC WITH THIS MODEL CAR. SOME OF THE OWNERS HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES -- I.E., THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN FIXED ONLY TO FAIL AGAIN, SOMETIMES THREE OR FOUR TIMES. AT THE MOMENT I HAVE 29,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND NOW THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW IS BEGINNING TO FAIL. I HAVE CONTACTED ISUZU BUT THEY DENY THERE IS A PROBLEM. ON THE OTHER HAND I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS BY ISUZU THAT DO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM. SINCE THERE WAS A LIMITED DISTRIBUTION OF THIS PARTICULAR MODEL CAR -- SOMEWHERE IN THE AREA OF 4000 PLUS OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD -- IT APPEARS THE WINDOW FAILURE RATE IS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THAT TOTAL NUMBER. I WOULD ASK THAT THE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING INVESTIGATION OF THE INTERNAL ISUZU DOCUMENT MENTIONED ABOVE. IF THERE IS, AS IT APPEARS, A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WINDOW MECHANISM, THEN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF VEHICROSS OWNERS WHO HAVE IMPROPERLY BEEN CHARGED TO REPAIR IT, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES.

I BOUGHT AN ISUZU VEHICROSS AND FOR THE FIRST MONTH, EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. 6 WEEKS AFTER MY PURCHASE, MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CAME COMPLETELY OFF TRACK. I HAVE HAD IT FIXED 3 SEPARATE TIMES, AND NOW MY PASSENGER SIDE IS STARTING TO FAIL. ISUZU CLAIMS IT IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW, BUT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OF THEIR MECHANICS AT VARIOUS DEALERS AND THEY'VE ALL ADMITTED TO THIS BEING A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WHICH ISUZU WON'T DEAL WITH. *AK
