ISUZU Complaints

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR RECALL REPAIRS CONCERNING ABS LIGHT STAYING ON. CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED, ABS LIGHT CONTINUED TO STAY ON. *AK

IT WAS RAINING. WENT TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF SCOTT BLVD AND N. DECATUR GOING AT APPROX 10 MILES AN HOUR. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. I RELEASED AND TRIED AGAIN AND THERE WAS NOTHING. HIT THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. THE MODULE FOR THE ABS WAS REPLACED IN APRIL 2003.

THE CONSUMER HAD JUST LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. THE NEXT DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINE THAT THE SERPENTINE BELT FELL OFF. *NM

WHILE BRAKING THE PEDAL WAS HARD AND CAUSED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEM WITH THE ABS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR NHTSA RECALL #02I002000ON. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND THAT THEY REPLACED THE COMPONENT INDICATED IN THE RECALL. *NM *NM

THE OIL LIGHT INDICATOR HAD A DELAY IN INDICATING HOW MUCH OIL WAS IN THE PAN. CONSUMER WAS OUT OF OIL, THEN THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATED WHEN DEPRESSED WHILE GOING DOWN AN INCLINE. WHEN THIS OCCURRED VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. THIS RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT NO FAILURE CODE WAS FOUND. *AK

THE GASOLINE QUANTITY INDICATOR DISPLAYS A LOWER FUEL LEVEL THAN THE ACTUAL AMOUNT IN THE TANK. IT ALSO INTERMITTENTLY DROPS TO EMPTY AND THE "LOW FUEL" WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATES. OUR 1999 ISUZU RODEO HAS JUST OVER 44,000 MILES AND IS IN "MINT CONDITION". THOUGH THIS IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN, IT DOES RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT PRODUCT RELIABILITY AND QUALITY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE TO INDICATE AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS PART IS NECESSARY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PART ALONE LISTS FOR OVER $250, ADD IN LABOR AND THE COST CAN EASILY EXCEED $500. THIS PART SHOULD FUNCTION QUITE A BIT LONGER THAN FOUR YEARS SINCE, ON MOST VEHICLES, THIS PARTS LAST THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.*AK

TO START WITH, I HAVE HAD CONTINOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES, WHICH SQUEAL LOUDLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THEY MOAN & CREEK ON THE INSIDE THEN FORCEFULLY PUSHES MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL-- THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN A REAL PROBLEM. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS 4 TIMES NOW, 2 OF WHICH WERE DONE MYSELF. I CANNOT GO THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE FREEWAYS, BARELY EVEN UP TO IT, AS THE VEHICLE SHAKES & VIBRATES SO VIOLENTLY, IT FEELS LIKE ITS BEING PULLED APART IN EVERY DIRECTION, TAKING ME WITH IT. I CAN ONLY GET TO ABOUT 46 MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING & VIBRATIONS START IN. THE STEERING WHEEL I HAVE TO GRIP TIGHTLY WITH BOTH HANDS JUST TO STAY ON THE ROAD, IT SHAKES SO MUCH. THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT IF I HAVE TO TAKE MY HANDS OFF THE WHEEL EVEN FOR A SECOND. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW & DOOR PANEL RATTLES WHEN THE WINDOW IS ROLLED DOWN AT ANY LENGTH, I CAN PHYSICALLY MOVE THE WINDOW. THERE IS A CONTINUED BUZZING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SPEAKER WHEN THE RADIO IS ON, EVEN TURNING OFF THE BASS DOESN'T HELP. IT'S NOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $1300 FOR AN EXTENDED 'WARRANTY' AT A $100 DEDUCTIBLE, BUT HAS REFUSED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED THE SMOG CERTIFICATE, BUT WAS CHARGED FOR THE SMOG. THE DEALER WHO SOLD THIS PIECE OF JUNK TO ME HAS COMPLETELY WIPED HIS HANDS OF IT AS SOON AS IT WAS DROPPED OFF ON HIS LOT. SAID HE WASN'T 'RESPONSIBLE' FOR ANYTHING THIS VEHICLE NEEDED. I'M OUT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS ON THIS VEHICLE. I WASN'T LOOKING TO GET A VEHICLE THAT NEEDED SO MUCH WORK DONE TO IT RIGHT FROM THE START. IT HAS BEEN & CONTINUES TO BE A LIVING NIGHTMARE! I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL AGENCIES, ONLY TO HAVE THEM SHUT THERE DOOR IN MY FACE, BECAUSE THIS IS A USED VEHICLE. MY HANDS ARE LITERALLY UP IN THE AIR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE-- WHAT IS MY LEGAL RECOURSE?? *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH ANTI LOCK BRAKES WOULD NOT LOCK, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HIT A MEDAL FENCE. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BRAKES EXPERIENCED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK
