ISUZU Complaints

THE RIGHT TAILGATE CABLE ON MY 1997 ISUZU HOMBRE XS PICKUP TRUCK BROKE. THE LEFT TAILGATE CABLE ON MY PICKUP TRUCK BROKE LAST YEAR. LUCKILY, IT DID NOT CAUSE INJURY. THIS MODEL WAS MADE BY CHEVROLET (IT''S SISTER MODEL IS THE CHEVY S-10). I UNDERSTAND THE FULL-SIZE PICKUPS BY CHEVROLET HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

IN 2003 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE OF A STRONG GAS SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS A LOOSE CLAMP ON THE FUEL HOSE. THE ECM WAS RECOMPUTERIZED BECAUSE OF ROUGH IDLE AND THE MOTOR WOULD DIE USUALLY WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON. IT STILL HAD THE GAS SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND NOW THE GAS GAUGES READ EMPTY AND THE GAS LIGHT BLINKS NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THERE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND GOES AND THE GAS CAP IS CLICKED 3 TIMES ATFER I PUMP GAS. LATELY MY GAS MILEAGE IS TERRIBLE AND WITH THE STRONG GAS SMELL IN MY VEHICLE I'M VERY CONCERNED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH A 2001 VEHICLE. ALSO THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW DOES NOT ROLL UP PROPERLY. MY REAL CONCERN IS WITH THE GAS SITUATION.

CONSUMER RECEIVED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE ABS COIL INTEGRATED MODULE REPLACEMENT 021-002 NOTICE. REPAIR WAS DONE AT 83,383 MILES, AND THE PARTS WERE UNDER WARRANTY FOR TWELVE MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES. CURRENTLY, VEHICLE AT 100,000 MILES EXPERIENCED THE SAME ABS PROBLEMS. *AK

NHTSA RECALL 021002000/ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. CONSUMER MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. *AK *LA

THE FRONT WINDOWS ON OUR IZUSU TROOPER (1999) BOTH DRIVER & PASSENGER HAVE JUST FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. BOTH OF THEM IN TWO YEARS WHILE DRIVING DOWN STREET. NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT AS THE LITTLE TABS ATTACHED TO THE WINDOW INSIDE JUST BREAK AND THE WINDOW FALLS.

CONSUMER STATED THAT SHE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTE ON ABS BRAKE FAILURE IN OCTOBER 2003, AND EACH TIME SHE CALLED THE ISUZU DEALER THEY TELL HER THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. DEALER PROMISED THAT THEY WILL CALL HER BACK ONCE PARTS ARRIVED, BUT THEY NEVER DID SO. CONSUMER DID NOT REMEMBER NAME, ADDRESS OR TELEPHONE NUMBER OF THIS PARTICULAR DEALER. CONSUMER INDICATED THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE ANY BRAKE PROBLEM, BUT DID WANT THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OFF. *AK

VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT STOPS OR WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE TURNS. AT WHICH POINT, POWER STEERING IS IMPOSSIBLE AND THIS PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED IN 11/2002, RECURRED IN 05/2003, BOTH TIMES, THE DEALER RECTIFIED PROBLEM.*AK

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT PROVIDE ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS, EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF, SO I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GAS UP EVERY OTHER DAY SO I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS LIKE I DID ONE MORNING JUST GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE. IF THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THE ISUZU RODEO'S PLEASE LET ME KNOW.*AK

THE ORIGINAL AND THE REPLACEMENT TIRES DEVELOPED CRACKS IN THE SIDEWALL AT LOW MILEAGE. ALSO, VEHICLE EXPERIENCED STRIPPING OF THE LUG, NUTS AND STUDS UPON TIRE REPLACEMENT.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED IN RAIN DURING HARD DOWNPOUR. I THINK THE CIRCUIT BOARD CRACKED LIKED THE RECALLED CHEVROLEROLET S-10S AND CHEVROLET TRUCK ALSO MADE BY GM.THEY RECALLED ALL CHEVY TRUCK MADE AT SAME PLANT AS MINE FOR WIPERS STOPPING.MY HOMBREE WAS MADE IN USA BY CHEVY. THIS IS APOX 100TH TIME THIS HAS FAILED. *AK
