ISUZU Complaints

ON THE NIGHT OF THE 22ND OF MARCH 2005, I WENT TO THE POTAMKIN DEALERSHIP TO BUY AN IZUSU RODEO, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY VEHICLE THEY HAD WAS ON THAT THEY WERE USE IT AS A DEMONSTRATION, THAT THEY WILL GIVE ME A GOOD DEAL ON IT, THE VEHICLE HAD A NOISE ON IT BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS NOTHING THAT THEY WILL MAKE THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS. THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK, AND I TOLD THEM THAT THE NOISE WAS VERY BAD AND THAT I WILL BRING THE VEHICLE BACK, THE VEHICLE HAD 2783 MILES ON IT AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A BAD TRANSMITION, I WAS 5 DAYS WITHOUT A CAR TO GO TO WORK. THE PROBLEM WAS GENERATED WHEN THE DEALER INSTEAD OF EXCHANGE THE CAR, THEY WILL FIX IT AND PUT A NEW TRANSMITION, I HAVEN'T HEAR FROM THEM, AND FOR WHAT I OBSERVED THE SERVICE IS VERY POOR, I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD IT EXCHANGE THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT QUESTIONS ASK, THEY NEW THAT THE CAR WASN'T READY FOR SALE, BUT THEY CHOOSE TO SET UP A NEW SALESMAN THAT HE SAW THE OPORTUNITY TO MAKE BUSINESS WITH ME, ALSO I CALLED THE CREDIT UNION TO TRY TO STOP THE CHECK, BUT FOR ONE NIGHT TO THE OTHER MORNING THE DEALER CASHED THE CHECK, THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. I REALLY NEED HELP FROM YOU TO GET MY CAR BACK AND IN GOOD CONDITION, THIS PEOPLE ARE CROOKS IN WHAT THEY DID, I WOULDN'T SALE A CAR THAT HAS MECHANICAL FAILURES.*AK

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL 04V199000 FOR ACCELERATOR CABLE IN MAY . SIX APPOINTMENTS AND EACH ONE WAS CANCELLED BY THE DEALER. CURRENTLY, DEALER DID NOT SERVICE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD TO GO TWO HOURS AWAY FOR THE RECALL SERVICE TO HER VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER DID NOT RECEIVE THE PART NOR THE SERVICE. *TC

99 ISUZU TROOPER USES OIL IN EXCESS AND IS NOW LEAKING COOLANT FROM UNDER MOTOR ??? GO FIGURE!! IT'S NOT EVEN AT 70,000 YET. ISUZU NEEDS TO HELP CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED THEIR WORTHLESS VEHICLES. IT SEEMS THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT MILEAGE TO STOP THE WARRANTY AT! *AK

MY FUEL GAUGE HAS FAILED AND I WENT TO ISUZU DEALERSHIP AND THE ASE MECHANIC TOLD ME HE HAS REPLACED A TON OF THESE AND IT WOULD COST 800.00 DOLLARS. I WAS UPSET AND DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE EXPEIRENCED THE SAME ISSUE. ISUZU IS AND HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE CONSUMER.*AK

NHTSA CAMPAIGN 94V132000; ISUZU ISSUED A CAM SHAFT RECALL ON THE ENGINE. THIS VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL LEAKING OIL, EVEN AFTER REPAIRED TWICE FOR THAT RECALL.*AK

FUEL GAUGE WAS READING INCORRECTLY. IT WOULD INDICATE THAT I WAS ABOUT OUT OF FUEL WHEN I ACTUALLY HAD ABOUT 1/2 A TANK LEFT. ISUZU DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. *JB

ISUZU TROOPER 1999 PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM, ENGINE BURNING OIL. *BF AFTER THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT LEAST 30 TIMES. THE DEALER GAVE THE CONSUMER ALL TYPES OF EXCUSES UNTIL FINALLY THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THERE WERE OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS A HARD SHIFT WITH THE TRANSMISSION, WATER LEAKING THROUGH THE SUN ROOF, DIFFICULTY STARTING THE VEHICLE, UNEVEN TIRE WEAR, IN JUST 65,000 THE CONSUMER HAS GONE THROUGH 3 COMPLETE SETS OF TIRES. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE AND IT COULD NOT BE ALIGNED. THE TIE RODS WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. IN THE PAST THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WHILE THE CONSUMER HAD HER FOOT FIRMLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY IDLED HIGH WHILE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE HAS ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE IT WAS IN PARK. ANOTHER MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PREVIOUS DEALER INSTALLED SEVERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONETS INCORRECTLY AND THERE WERE ALSO SOME DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THE CONSUMER WAS GETTING POOR GAS MILEAGE. *JB

PRIOR TO LEAVING ON TRIP FROM MINNESOTA TO MONTANA I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS FINE. JUST OUTSIDE BILLINGS, MT MY ENGINE MADE A LOUD BANGING SOUND FOLLOWED BY ENGINE POWER LOSS AND FINALLY THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. ZERO OIL REGISTERED IN THE ENGINE. DIAGNOSED AS A SEIZED CRANK BY THE ISUZU DEALERSHIP. 70,100 MILES AND A SEIZED ENGINE OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED. $6,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE DOES NOT MAKE FISCAL SENSE GIVEN THE WHOLESALE VALUE OF TRUCK WAS $7500.*JB

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE ON IT'S OWN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

OIL SLUDGE CAUSING OVER CAM TO FREEZE AND DAMAGE TO LOWER UNIT ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WARRANTY CO AND DEALER CLAIM NOT THERE PROBLEM. OIL CHANGES AT CORRECT TIMES. *AK
