ISUZU Complaints

WHEN THE ABS ENGAGED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AND ACCELERATED FORWARD. THIS OCCURRED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ONCE RESULTED IN THE TRUCK HITTING A BRICK WALL. THERE WAS AN ABS RECALL 02I002000, BUT IT ONLY AFFECTED EARLIER MODELS. *JB ALSO, GRINDING NOISE WAS OBSERVED BY CONSUMER. ISUZU WAS CONTACTED BY CONSUMER REGARDING THE INCIDENT (CASE #4029006). CONSUMER MADE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY CONSUMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ISUZU RODEO VEHICLES. DEALER AGREED TO REPLACE ABS MODULE WHICH WAS RECALLED IN EARLIER MODELS. *LA

THE CONSUMER HAD TO REFILL THE VEHICLE WITH OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS PERTAINING TO THE OIL BURNING QUICKLY. THE MECHANIC DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *JB

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM THREE MONTHS AGO. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE DEALERSHIP STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO CONDUCT THE RECALL. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB

THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AT A RAPID PACE WHEN SLOWING DOWN. THIS RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE NOT SLOWING DOWN IMMEDIATELY. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ABS MODULE. *AK THE CONSUMER HAD AN ACCIDENT AFTER BEING TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY. THE BRAKES WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS A HUMMING SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. *SC *JB

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 99 RODEO IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE 66,000 MILES AND THE PROBLEM JUST BEGAN WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT CONSTANTLY MOVES UP AND DOWN, EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK. THE GAS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND EVENTUALLY STARTS TO BLINK. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $400 AND $500 TO REPAIR AND THAT EVENTUALLY THIS WOULD TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, IT WILL COST EVEN MORE TO REPAIR. I WAS ALSO TOLD TO MAKE SURE I REFUEL AFTER 150 MILES TO ENSURE THAT THE CAR DOES NOT BREAK DOWN. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *LA

OUR 2000 ISUZU TROPPER IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE DEFECTS OF THE CAR COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE DEAD OR COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURIES. THE REDUCE POWER IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE DRIVER WILL BE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY POSTED SPEEDS UP TO 70 MPH AND THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY REDUCE SPEED TO AS LOW AS 35 MPH. THE CAR ALSO REDUCES POWER FOR SPEEDS AS LOW AS 40 MPH TO ABOUT 15 MPH AND THERE IS NOTHING THE DRIVER CAN DO. DUE TO THIS DEFAULT, OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN PLACED IN DANGER BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD TO MAKE ERRATIC MOVES TO AVOID BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE CAR OCCURS WHEN IT IS AT IDLE (FOR EXAMPLE, A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT), THE CAR WILL SIMPLY SHUT-OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME SO UNSAFE WE HAVE STOPPED DRIVING IT AND NOW RELY ON ONE VEHICLE. WE TAKEN THE CAR IN SIX TIMES AND IT STILL NOT REPAIRED. A. HARRIS
