TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ISUZU ASCENDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK AND STARTING THE ENGINE, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

I PURCHASED A 2000 ISUZU RODEO FROM A DEALERSHIP ON DECEMBER 4, 2014. I GOT IT HOME ONLY TO REALIZE THE ENTIRE FRAME IS RUSTED ALMOST COMPLETELY THROUGH. IT'S WORSE IN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. THE FRAME UNDER THE HATCHBACK AREA IS ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T TAKE IT BACK AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT ANYONE AT ISUZU. THE SUV IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHERWISE. *TR

LEFT REAR FRAME RUSTED THROUGH EVIDENTIALLY THE PERSON NEW OF THE PROBLEM NOW I HAVE NO TITLE AND THEY STOLE MY TRADE OF A 95 LEXUS GS300. *TR

I OWN A 2001 ISUZU RODEO. I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. DEALER SENT US TO HIS MECHANIC WHO FIXED IT. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, HE FIXED AGAIN MANY TIMES. EVENTUALLY HE SAID THERE WAS PROBABLY A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT, SO I DIDN'T. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A YEAR LATER AND I HAD IT ADDRESSES WHEN I HAD MY BRAKES CHECKED. THE GUY THAT DID MY BRAKES TOLD ME I COULD HAVE IT FIXED OR JUST IGNORE IT, THAT IT WAS NOT IMPORTANT. THE NEXT THING THAT WENT OUT WAS MY AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING SYSTEM. I ENDED UP PAYING 1300 TO GET FIXED IN THE SUMMER OF 2014. THE NEXT THING WAS THE REAR WIPER STOPPED WORKING. I STILL HAVE NOT REPLACED THAT. SHORTLY AFTER THE WIPER STOPPED WORKING I NOTICED THE CRUISE CONTROL & THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE ON, I NO LONGER DRIVE AT NIGHT. LAST YEAR THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, I HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH MY MILEAGE TO FIGURE OUT IF I NEED TO FILL UP. JUST RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE STARTING TO STALL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 70. I HAD MY HEATER, RADIO AND WIPERS ON FOR THE RAIN. I DECIDED TO TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE IT WAS STARTING TO GET A LITTLE DARK AND JUST WHEN I TURNED THEM ON THE DASH LIGHTS FADED AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER. I QUICKLY TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND THE CAR WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THIS WAS VERY SCARY, I WAS AFRAID TO TURN MY LIGHTS BACK ON. ONCE I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAS GOING INTO THE MOUNTAINS, THE FOG WAS TO DENSE TO IGNORE THE LIGHTS. I TURNED THEM ON THIS TIME WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I KNOW I DID NOT HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS, THANKFULLY I WAS MORE OR LESS ON THE ROAD ALONE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS CAR I SEE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I THINK WE SHOULD START A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. *TR

CITY OF TEMPE ARIZONA IS FORCING VEHICLE OWNERS TO REDUCE THE OVERALL LENGTH OF THEIR VEHICLE (21 FEET) TO PARK AT THEIR HOMES. THE MOST ECONOMICAL WAY TO COMPLY IS TO CHOP IN THE MIDDLE TO KEEP THE TOW ARRANGEMENT WHICH WEAKENS THE STRENGTH AND INTEGRITY OF THE METAL CAUSING A HAZARD FOR THE PUBLIC. THIS INCLUDES TRAILERS IN TRAILER PARKS. *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING A 1999 ISUZU RODEO WHEN HE HAD AN ACCIDENT. SINCE THERE WERE NO "BRAKE MARKS" ON THE ROAD THE ACCIDENT WAS CONSIDERED TO BE HIS FAULT. HE STATED THAT HE TURNED LEFT FROM A STOP SIGN AND CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS ON, APPLIED BRAKES AND CAR CONTINUED TO REV UP CAUSING HIM TO LOSE CONTROL, HIT A DITCH, AND LAND CAR ON IT'S SIDE. NO INJURIES EXCEPT SORE WRIST. THE CAR HAS 138,000 MILES *TR

**I HAVE NEVER BEEN AWARDED ANY FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FOR MY VEHICLE ON SAFETY RECALL 10V-436, UPON SURRENDERING MY VEHICLE FOR EVALUATION ON 1-4-2010, AFTER IT WAS DEEMED UNREPAIRABLE ON 2-10-2010.** I RECD. RECALL NOTICE AROUND 12-10-09, RE: ISUZU SAFETY RECALL 10V-436. I TOOK MY RODEO TO J. SHORKEY ISUZU 1-4-10 FOR EVALUATION. AFTER MANY PHONE CALLS BACK AND FORTH WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I RECD. A PHONE CALL FROM TERRY @ ISUZU (800-255-6727) 2-10-2010, STATING MY VEHICLE WAS UNREPAIRABLE AND ISUZU IS OFFERING ME $3,950. I WAS SO CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THAT, I TOLD HIM THAT $3,950 WAS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AS A SETTLEMENT FOR MY VEHICLE BEING IN PRISTINE SHAPE IT WAS IN AND THAT I WOULD GET BACK TO HIM WITH AN ACCEPTABLE OFFER I WOULD ACCEPT. BTW, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW, THEREFORE I AM AN A TITLE OWNER. I FOLLOWED UP WITH HIM OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS GIVING HIM BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON MY VEHICLE, ETC. I FIGURED I WOULD HOLD OUT TO RECEIVE A MORE ACCEPTABLE FINANCIAL OFFER. HOWEVER, AS OF 12-6-14, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT FROM ISUZU FOR MY RODEO. WHICH HAS BEEN SITTING AT J. SHORKEY ISUZU, IN NORTH HUNTINGDON, PA SINCE 1-4-2010. I AM NOW PREPARED TO FILE AS MANY OFFICIAL COMPLAINTS AS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO GET THIS CLAIM SETTLED, AFTER ALL THIS TIME. I FILED AN OFFICIAL CONSUMER COMPLAINT WITH THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL IN 2010, FOR WHICH THEY DECLINED TO ASSIST ME AT THE TIME SINCE I REFERENCED THE NHTSA BEING INVOLVED WITH THIS RECALL. *TR
