ISUZU Complaints

WINDOWS CONTINUE TO FOG UP DEFROSTER NOT WORKING PROPERLY. LOCKS AND BACK HATCH IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AS WELL. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF RECALL NOTICE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATORS FOR 95 MODELS AND I ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE TWO. *LA

WHEN CHANGING THE TIRES OR ROTATING LUGS CONTINUE TO STRIP. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE'S HAD SEVERAL RODEOS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS BECOMING TO BE A REAL SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM! *LA

I OWN A 1998 ISUZU AMIGO. I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN DEC. 2000 REQUIRING MY PAINT TO BE REPLACED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR. WHEN THEY MATCHED THE PAINT TO THE COLOR BY ISUZU IT WAS WRONG . ALL THE INSIDE DOORS ARE RED BUT THE PAINT ON THE OUTSIDE IS PURPLE. I TRIED MANY TIMES TO GET ISUZU TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FADED PAINT BUT THEY WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALLS. OR LETTERS. I AM NOW APPROACHING THE FIVE YEAR MARK. MY POINT IS FEB.29,2000 THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT MECHANICALLY THEN THERE WOULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE BODY PAINT ALSO. WHO CAN I CONTACT TO HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM? TERI JEFFRIES. *JB

SENSORS UNITS HAD TO REPLACED AND OVERHEAD CAM SENSOR. NOTICED IT'S NOT A COMMON PROBLEM. NOW FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE, AND THE CHECK ENGINE ILLUMINATES. DEALER SAYS IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENSOR. SEEMS THAT ISUZU WOULD WANT TO CORRECT COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THEIR PRODUCTS TO KEEP THE CONSUMERS DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES. *LA

DRIVER WAS TURNING ONTO A RAMP WHEN THE STEERING BECAME STUCK IN TURNING POSITION, CAUSING VEHICLE TO HIT A GUARD RAIL. *AK

I HAVE A 2002 ISUZU RODEO THAT HAS ABS SENSORS REPLACED TWICE WITHIN A TWO-MONTH PERIOD. BOUGHT BRAND NEW LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, AND BOTH TIMES THE BRAKES MADE NOISE AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THE SECOND TIME, MY ABS FAILED TO ENGAGE AND I WAS ABOUT A FOOT AWAY FROM HITTING A POLICE CAR. *LA

THE BRAKES IN THE RODEO SOUND STRANGE AT TIMES. I HEAR A GROWLING NOISE, AND IT JUST KEEPS GOING DOESN'T SLOW DOWN LIKE IT SHOULD AT TIMES. I TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED AND I QUOTE FROM THE DEALER: "500 TEST DROVE VEHICLE ALL BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKED GOOD, NORMAL ABS OPERATION AND THIS IS WITHIN FACTORY SPECS." *LA

MY COMPLAINT IS SIMILAR TO ODI ID #10020690. THE FRONT WIPERS WILL NEITHER PARK NOR OPERATE IN THE INTERMITTANT MODE. THE PARTS COUNTER EMPLOYEE AT MCINZEY BOND ISUZU IN HOUSTON STATED THAT THEY REPLACE AND SELL A BUNCH OF THE COMBINATION ALARM/WIPER CONTROL MODULES FOR THIS REASON. THIS WIPER DEFECT IS EVIDENTLY HISTORIC AND RECURING IN A LARGE NUMBER OF ISUZU RODEOS. THESE MODULES ARE $212 EACH PLUS LABOR. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.

1998 ISUZU HOMBRE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. 1996-1997 ISUZU HOMBRE WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.

CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT HOOD PROBLEMS. HOOD WILL NOT CLOSE AS IT SUPPOSE TO. ALSO, WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, VEHICLE WAS LEAKING OIL FROM THE FRONT PART WHERE THE ENGINE WAS LOCATED. DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND STATED THAT THEY WILL PICK UP THE VEHICLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AT THE TIME OF THIS CALL. *AK
