ISUZU Complaints

THE ABS MODULE CAME ON FOR NO REASON UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND STAYED ON, EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED. UNPLUGGING THE POWER TO THE ABS MODULE WAS REQUIRED TO PREVENT IT RUNNING UNTIL OVERHEATING AND MELTING OR SOMETHING ELSE BAD. *AK

I AM WRITING TO NOTIFY YOU OF THE CONTINUING PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY 2001, ISUZU, RODEO (VIN [XXX], (SEE ENCLOSURES 1. & 2.), AND TO REQUEST RESOLUTION OF THESE PROBLEMS WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 13 JANUARY 2001 FROM WEST LOOP DODGE, INC. IN FORT WORTH, TX WITH ASSISTANCE OF MY GRANDFATHER, REV. [XXX]. THE MODEL TEST-DRIVEN WAS IMPRESSIVE BECAUSE OF ITS MECHANICAL/FUNCTIONAL, WARRANTY AND SAFETY FEATURES. (SEE ENCLOSURES 3.) I WAS SOLD ON BUYING A RODEO AND I DID. HOWEVER, APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE RODEO, AND HAD DRIVEN IT TO COLLEGE STATION, HOUSTON AND BACK FOR TWO ROUND TRIPS; [XXX]., SALESMAN, INFORMED ME THAT THE INCORRECT VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS ON MY FINANCE PAPERS. (SEE ENCLOSURES 10.) SO, INSTEAD OF CHANGING VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS ON THE PAPERWORK, [XXX]. INSTRUCTED ME TO EXCHANGE THE VEHICLE IN MY POSSESSION FOR THE CORRECT IDENTICAL VEHICLE. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE COLOR AND THE LACK OF TINT ON THE BLACK RODEO WAS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO VEHICLES. [XXX]. COMPENSATION FOR THE INCONVENIENCE OF DRIVING FROM COLLEGE STATION TO FORT WORTH WAS INSTALLING TINT (ROLANDS WINDOW TINTING 7800 HWY 80, SUITE 103 FORT WORTH, TX 76116) AND PROVIDING TWENTY DOLLARS FOR GAS. (SEE ENCLOSURE 4.) NEVERTHELESS, THREE MONTHS AFTER THE EXCHANGE, THE BLACK RODEO, CURRENTLY IN MY POSSESSION (ALTHOUGH REPRESENTED TO BE IDENTICAL TO THE SILVER VEHICLE THAT WAS TEST DRIVEN, PURCHASED, AND USED FOR 12 DAYS), NOW APPEARS TO BE A LEMON.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR HAS A ROTTEN EGG SMELL. TECH SAID TO USE LOW GRADE GAS INSTEAD OF HIGH GRADE GAS & THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE. THE CAR STILL HAS A ROTTEN EGG SMELL. THE CAR STARTS TO PING AFTER 2,500 MILES AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE. AFTER ADDING A HALF QUART OF OIL THE CAR STOPS PINGING. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 3,000 MILES AS RECOMMENDED. THE CAR ON OVER 20 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF MOST TIMES THIS OCCURS WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. ONE TIME MY HUSBAND, TWO CHILDREN AND MYSELF WERE IN THE CAR DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL AT A PARK AT A SLOW SPEED & THE CAR SHUT OFF. FORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO THESE ISSUES. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO BE ADDING OIL TO A NEW CAR EVERY 2,500 MILES AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT IS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO TAP WHEN THE OIL IS LOW AND THAT MY CAR IS NOT OUT OF OIL IT IS ONLY A QUART SHORT WHEN THE TAPPING BEGINS. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALLING AND THEREFOR TELL ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF MY OTHER CARS. I LEASED A NEW CAR SO THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND HAVING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE ALL OF THE TIME.*AK
