ISUZU Complaints

WHILE IN MOTION AND WITH OUT ANY WARNING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED IN THE HIGHWAY. CONSUMER HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SERVICE SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A POOR CONNECTION AT H-7, AND THE CONNECTOR WAS REPLACED. THE MECHANIC INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS WAS A FACTORY DEFECT. *JG

ABS FAILURE DESIGN PROBLEM. EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE ESPECIALLY ON WET OR BUMPY SURFACES. THE ABS SYSTEM SEEMS TO DISENGAGE ANY SIGNIFICANT BRAKING EFFECT. THIS HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, NOTHING APPEARS TO HELP THE BRAKES ENGAGE IN A NORMAL FASHION. THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A DESIGN PROBLEM DESPITE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS AND A RECALL ON 1998 VEHICLES THAT THEY WILL NOT APPLY TO MY 1999 MODEL. THIS IS NOT A MATTER THAT CAN BE RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THEIR DEALER WITHOUT OUTSIDE INTERVENTION. THE PROBLEM IS SERIOUS AND IS ENDANGERING MY FAMILY. THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS DRASTICALLY INCREASED WITH THIS SYSTEM. I WOULD FEEL MUCH SAFER IF THE SYSTEM COULD BE PERMANENTLY DISENGAGED, SO I COULD STOP IN AN EMERGENCY. DT

WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE TIRE PROBLEMS AND PAINT PROBLEMS, FIRST WITH THE RIMS AND THEN WITH BODY PAINT DOOR CHECKS HAVE BEEN FIXED TWICE AND AUTO TRANS PICKUP SENSOR FAILURE. TIRES AND RIMS WERE FINALLY RELPACED AFTER 40,000 MILES OF PROBLEMS. DT

THE ECU HAS CAUSED ERRATIC ENGINE BEHAVIOUR AND COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE LEAVING US STRANDED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNTRUSTWORTHY OVER IT'S ENTIRE LIFE. MANY TIMES THE IGNITION SYSTEM HAS FAILED IN TRAFFIC WITH OUR BABIES IN THE CAR LEAVING US STRANDED IN THE HEAT. THIS UNIT SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOME OF THE HUNDREDS SPENT ON MIS-DIAGNOSIS, MOTEL BILL'S AND TOWING SERVICE, ETC. REIMBURSED BY GM/DELCO -ISUZU. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF NECESSARY. DT

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS DEFECT THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND ON INTERMITTENLY. AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

WHEN DRIVING ON BUMPY ROADS OR IN WET CONDITIONS ABS BRAKES INGAGE UNNECESSERALLY CAUSING INCREASED VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THREE OCCASIONS SCARYING THE HELL OUT OF ME. ON APPROACHING A T-JUNCTION IN WET CONDITIONS, I APPLIED THE BRAKES IN NORMAL FASHION AND A LOUD JUDDERING NOISE WAS HEARD. BRAKE PEDAL WENT SOFT, VEHICLE LURCHED FWD AND FINALLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING OTHERWISE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. I HAVE DISCONNECTED THE ABS SINCE AS THE VEHICLE IS UNCONTROLLABLE IN THESE SITUATIONS. DT
