ISUZU Complaints

THE TIRE HAD A COMPLETE BLOW OUT IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE OUTSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE COMPLETELY WAS CUT OUT OF THE REST OF THE TIRE. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE WHEEL RIM WHILE I WAS TRYING TO BRING THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE EMERGENCY ROAD SERVICE OF ISUZU. THE ROAD WAS A STRAIGHT AND WELL MAINTAINED PIECE OF US84 APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES OUTSIDE OF BROWNWOOD TEXAS. *AK (TIRESIZE: P245/70R16)

WHILE PUTTING SUNROOF BACK ON VEHICLE IT EXPLODED, CONSUMER RECEIVED CUTS TO FACE/ NECK AND LEGS. *AK

ON AT LEAST 5 OCCASIONS CONSUMER EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS(5-15 MPH)A SENSATION WAS FELTED SIMILAR TO THER EACTION OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PULSE BUT VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL BRAKE TRAVEL. DEALER SAID THIS WAS CAUSED BY AN INADEQUATE AFTER MARKET BRAKE JON.

ENGINE INTERMITENTLY STALLS AT THE VARIOUS SPEEDS SPECIALLY AT THE FREE EXITS AND THE STOPS FOR TRAFFIC LIGHTS.*AK

SINCE DAY ONE WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING SHAKING AT 55MPH AND HIGHER,AFTER 48000 MILES WE DECIDED TO CHANGE THE TIRES AND SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX OUR PROBLEM,GUESS WHAT,DIDN'T EVEN CHANGE A THING,WE ARE SO UPSET AT THE FACT THAT WHILE DRIVING OUR TRUCK WHICH WE ARE LEASING AND THOUGHT OF BUYING AFTER WE HAD FINISHED THE LEASE FEELS SO UNSAFE THAT AFTER THE LEASE IS OVER THIS WILL BE THE LAST ISUZU WE EVER BUY!!! ALONG WITH THE TIRE ISSUE WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT AN ENGINE RATTLING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING ON HILLS AND THE DEALER WE TOOK IT TO SUGGESTED WE CHANGE FUEL TYPES AND GRADES,THE OWNERS MANUAL SUGGEST THE GRADE WE HAD BEEN USING?? SO WHY CHANGE,WELL WE TRIED THAT TOO...YOU CAN GUESS DIDN'T CHANGE A THING,STILL RATTLES!!!!!!!!WE HAVE HAD MANY OTHER THINGS GO WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK SINCE WE BOUGHT IT AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH A VEH OTHER THAN THIS ISUZU..THE LATEST THING WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH IS A THUNK NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK WHEN LETTING OFF THE BRAKES AT A STOP LIGHT AND STARTING TO PULL AWAY....THUNK!! YOU HEAR IT AND FEEL THE TRUCK JOLT!!...WE HAD THE REAR AXLE FLUID CHANGED AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ASWELL...HA HA...GUESS AGAIN...STILL THERE...OUR NEXT OPTION TO THE ISUZU RODEO NIGHTMARE IS TO JUST PARK THIS THING AND WAIT TILL THE LEASE IS UP AND LET EVERYONE WE KNOW AND THEY KNOW NEVER TO BUY AN ISUZU RODEO UNLESS THE HAVE MONEY TO THROW AGAIN....NEXT TIME WE'LL LOOK AT AN AMERICAN MADE CAR!!!*AK (TIRESIZE: 23575R15)

WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING WHEN IT RAINNING. WIFE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN A RAIN STORM.*AK

REAR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN BY APPLYING OUTSIDE OR INSIDE HANDLES. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

BRAKES FAILURE OCCURS WHEN BRAKING WHILE GOING OVER ANY TYPE OF BUMP SUCH AS ANY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, SPEED BUMP, ROAD DRAINAGE GRATE, ETC.. AT SLOW SPEEDS (10-25 MPH). THIS PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS ON WET ROADS. THIS HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD INTO AN INTERSECTION AND NARROWLY MISS REAR-ENDING VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS, THE ABS TAKES OVER CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES FOR 1-3 SECONDS AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LURCH FORWARD. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS WILL RESULT IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT ONE OF THESE DAYS.*AK

WHEN GOING ON REVERSE (BACKING UP) AND I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE FRONT WHEELS MAKE A CLICKING SOUND THAT IS MORE OF A CRACKING SOUND. IT FEELS LIKE IF THE TIRES ARE GOING TO COME OFF. MY BROTHER WHOM ALSO HAD A MINI VAN LIKE MINE, EXCEPT HIS WAS A 1997 HONDA ODDISSEY NOTICED THE PROBLEM BEFORE I HAD NOTICED MINE. ANOTHER FRIEND FROM CHURCH WITH A 1996 ISUZU OASIS SHARED THE SAME PROBLEM: (THE CLICKING SOUND WHEN GOING ON REVERSE) I DID NOT WORRY BECAUSE MINE DID NOT HAVE THAT CLICKING SOUND UNTIL JUST RECENTLY (AT 47,909 MILES). THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH EITHER SUSPENSION, WHEELS OR WHATEVER HOLDS THE WHEELS. WE DON'T FEELS SECURE ANYMORE UNLESS THIS IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT? THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR TIME.
