ISUZU Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS OUT WITH OUT ANY WARNING. THIS CAUSES THE LOSS OF STEERING, AND BRAKE EQUIPMENT. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED SIX TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. *MR

THERE IS A LOUD SCREAMING SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. THERE IS A SLIGHT VIBRATION UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OCCASIONAL STALLING.*MR

HERE WE ARE AGAIN WITH THIS CRAZY FUEL LIGHT. CAN HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS AND FUEL LIGHT IS GLEAMING AND BLINKS EMPTY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!!!!!. LAST WEEK MY WIFE RAN OUT OF GAS DOING 45 MPH. YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCKING YOUR STEERING WHEEL CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. LUCKILY SHE DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I ASSURE YOU THAT IF MY WIFE IS THE ONE TO GET HURT....LOOKOUT ISUZU I'M TAKING EVERYTHING........FIX IT NOW!!!!! *JB

EVERY TIME IT RAINS MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING WHILE I AM DRIVING. NO ACCIDENTS AS OF YET BUT CLOSE CALLS. MY ENGINE OVERHEATS TOO EASILY. *NM

THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT 60,000 MILES. IT SHOWS THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY AFTER 10 GALLON CONSUMPTION. LOOKS LIKE ISUZU USED SOME CHEAP FAULTY COMPONENT THAT DOESN'T LAST TOO LONG, AND THIS SHOULD QUALIFY FOR A RECALL. PLEASE ADVISE. *JB

LUG NUT BOLT SHEARED OFF. I SAW WHERE OTHERS HAD SAME PROBLEM SO IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE DEALER WHO BROKE IT. THE DEALER REPLACED IT BUT USED A LUG NUT WHICH HAS ALREADY RUSTED. I HAVEN'T TRIED TO TAKE THE RUSTY LUG NUT OFF SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE BOLT IS RUSTED TOO. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE LUG NUT, AT LEAST, BEFORE IT RUSTS ONTO BOLT. THIS SOUNDS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW I AM SO PARANOID ABOUT ONE OF MY WHEELS FALLING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING IT THAT I HAVE TO CHECK ALL FOUR TIRES EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE, I AM AFRAID TO TAKE IT ANY FURTHER THAN THE LOCAL AREA AND AFTER ONLY 45,000 MILES, I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS A MONEY PIT THAT IS ALREADY USED UP. *JB

1998 RODEO HAD 44,200 MILES AND NEEDED TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET. HAD BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR LOST OF HEAT AND BURNING SMELL AND DEALERSHIP REPLACED THERMOSTAT BUT PROBLEM WAS BACK WITHIN 2 WEEKS AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE HEAD GASKET. *JB

VEHICLE BURNED UP TO FOUR QUARTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN ROUTINE OIL CHANGES. *PH THE MANUFACTURER TOLD THE CONSUMER SINCE THE MILEAGE WAS BEYOND LIMITATION OF ANY WARRANTY, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *JB

FRAME BROKE IN HALF WHILE 4 FEET UP FROM THE GROUND ON A LIFT AT STATE INSPECTION STATION. *AK *JB

WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND IT WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THEN, CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. INSURANCE COMPANY FOUND THAT VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL 021002000 CONCERNING ABS BRAKE FAILURE BEFORE THE CURRENT OWNER BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE, BUT RECALL REPAIR PARTS FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO STOP. *AK *MR
