ISUZU Complaints

LUG NUTS SNAP OFF EVERYTIME TIRES ARE REMOVED FOR ROTATION. THIS IS NOT THE MECHANICS FAULT. IT IS A DEFECT AND ISUZU SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THE REPLACEMENTS. I'M GETTING SOAKED EVERYTIME I TAKE MY CAR IN FOR ROTATION OF MY TIRES, WHICH SHOULD BE FREE BECAUSE I PURCHASED THE TIRES AT THE ESTABLISHMENT. INSTEAD, I AM GETTING CHARGED $80-$100 EVERYTIME BECAUSE THE LUG NUTS BREAK OFF AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED! BASED ON WHAT I SEE ON THIS WEBSITE, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND ISUZU SHOULD BE FOOTING THE BILL FOR THIS. DT

OEM TIRES WEAR OUT QUICKLY, MY WIFE AND I OWNED 2 OF THESE VEHICLES. ONE WITH YOKOHAMAS ONE WITH GOODYEARS. UNEVEN TREAD WEAR RESULTIN IN TIRE CUPPING AND VERY ROUGH RIDE. HER RODEO WAS A LS 4WD MINE IS A 2WD BASE MODEL. I LOOK AT TIRES ON OTHER RODEOS I COME ACROSS IN PARKING LOTS AND ALL SHOW SIGNS OF UNEVEN WEAR. ALSO ABS SYSTEM IS JUNK. ANY STOP NOT EXECUTED ON EVEN LEVEL PAVEMENT RESULTS IN LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND VERY LONG BRAKING DISTANCES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND I CONSIDER IT VERY DANGEROUS. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE "COMPUTER" GETS CONFUSED AND RESETS DURING ANYTHING OTHER THAN IDEAL BRAKING CONDITIONS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FURTHER! MY BRAKES JUST FAILED THE OTHER DAY AS I WAS BACKING UP AND I HIT ANOTHER CAR. DT
