ISUZU Complaints

THE VEHICLE'S RPMS REVVED TO 5000 AND ACCELERATED FORWARD WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER MOTORIST DUE TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *JB AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH HIS BRAKES. UPON ENTERING THE REPAIR SHOP, THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN ALMOST HITTING THE WALL. *PH

HAD TO REPLACE ABS MODULE LAST YEAR DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. ITEM WAS RECALLED THIS YEAR CAMPAIGN NO 021-002. CONTACTED AMERICAN ISUZU MOTORS TO REIMBURSE---THEY REFUSED. *LA

FUEL GAUGE FAULTY, CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON. ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED, HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE STRANDED DRIVERS DUE TO INCORRECT READING. *LA

I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE INABILITY TO STOP MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO ON OCCASION EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD THE ABS CONTROL MODULE REPLACED ACCORDING TO THE 02I002000 RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ABS CIM ON 10/29/2003. ON 1/9/2004, I LOST CONTROL OF MY BRAKES TWICE IN WINTER WEATHER. THE BRAKES WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WITH A GRINDING SOUND AND TO STOP, I USED MY HAND BRAKE. I HAD A FRIEND RECREATE THE PROBLEM THE SAME DAY. I DON'T BELIEVE THE RECALL HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR! *LA

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES, BECAUSE THE MOTORIST IN FRONT OF HER SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND WHEN THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WHICH CAUSED A COLLISION. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE ROTORS AND OTHER BRAKE PARTS NEEDED REPLACEMENT.*AK *CB *JB

DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO PERFORM ABS RECALL 02I002000 REPAIRS FOR OVER 60 DAYS. ALSO, DEALER DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.*AK

THIS IS AN ONGOING DEGRADATION OF THE HYDRAULIC LIFTER SYSTEM THAT WILL LEAD TO AN EVENTUAL ENGINE FAILURE. ACCORDING TO ISUZU MECHANICS, THE HYDRAULIC LIFTER SYSTEM IN THE ISUZU V-6 IS PRONE TO OIL SLUDGE BUILD-UP AND THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE CAN ONLY BE AVOIDED THROUGH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE HYDRAULIC LIFTER SYSTEM. WHEN FIRST DIAGNOSED, THE MECHANICS USED A OIL CLEANER TO QUIET THE VALVE TRAIN. HOWEVER, AFTER MULTIPLE CLEANINGS AND SWITCHING TO SYNTHETIC OIL AS ADVISED BY ISUZU THE VALVE KNOCK REMAINS AND CONTINUES TO WORSEN. SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET OVER THE PAST YEAR INDICATE THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE ISUZU V-6 AND HAS OCCURED WITH SIGNIFICANT REGULARITY. SO MUCH SO, SEVERAL WEBPAGES ARE DEVOTED TO THE PROBLEM.*AK

FUEL GUAGE HAS STOPPED REPORTING THE LEVEL OF FUEL CORRECTLY. IT CAN BOUNCE ANYWHERE FROM A 1/4 TO 1/2 A TANK OFF OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK.*AK

DURING A 40 MPH CRASH INTO A CONCRETE CENTER DIVIDER ON A INTERSTATE IN WHICH THE VEHICLE MADE CONTACT WITH THE FRONT AND DRIVER FRONT AREA, CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGES. INCLUDING PUSHING BUMPER,GRILLE,HEADLIGHTS AND HOOD UP INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. TO MY SHOCK THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? DO THEY JUST TELL YOU THEY ARE THERE AND THEY DON'T WORK WHEN YOU NEED THEM??? I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ISUZU PRODUCT AND AM SEEKING A CLAIM AGAINST ISUZU TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!! *LA

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, ALL FOUR WHEELS LOCKED UP.*AK
