ISUZU Complaints

EA99008; WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMP OR POT HOLE BRAKES WILL FAIL. AFTER GOING OVER BUMP AND REAPPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE WILL EVENTUALLY STOP.*AK CONSUMER STATES THERE HAVE ALMOST BEEN NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING DOWN A DRIVEWAY OR A HILL, CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD, THAT IS HOW THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM WORKS ON THIS VEHICLE. *JB

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE UNNECESSARY AT LOW SPEED CAUSING NEAR MISSES ( REARENDING, ROLLING INTO CROSS TRAFFIC, HITTING PEDESTRIANS).*AK

DURING A HARD/SUDDEN STOP BRAKE PEDAL DROPS AND WHEELS LOCK, LOUD NOISE FROM BRAKES. *AK

REAR DOORS FAIL TO OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. DOORS WOULD BE UNLOCKED, AND USING HANDLE WILL NOT OPEN THEM.*AK ISUZU WOULD NOT ASSIST CONSUMER IN REPAIRS. *SLC

LUG NUTS AND BOLTS ARE BRITTLE AND THREADS ARE BROKEN. BOLTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.*AK

THESE ARE NOT ALL THE REPAIRS FOR THE VEHICLE, JUST THE MAJOR ONES THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED NUMEROUS TIMES.NO SAFETY DEFECT. *AK

GASKETS LEAKY. CAUSED EXTRA FUEL TO BE DUMPED TO ENGINE. DID NOT GET BURNED. DAMAGED ALL 6 SPARK PLUGS. NECESSITATED FLUSH OF FUEL INJECTOR, REPLACEMENT OF ALL 6 PLUGS, REPLACEMENT OF ALL GASKETS. *AK

ON DOWNHILL, UNEVEN SURFACE, BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND BRAKES GO INTO A NON-APPLIED MODE, AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY A CAR LENGTH, THE BRAKES WILL LCOK UP, MAKE A SLAMMING SOUND, AND PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN DUPLICATED BY THE TECHNICIAN ON BOTH MY VEHICLE AND MY HUSBAND'S VEHICLE (SAME MODEL/YEAR). HIS RESPONSE WAS THAT ALL VEHICLES OF THIS MODEL WILL DO THE SAME THING, EVEN THE BRAND NEW ONES, AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER CONSIDERS THIS A "NORMAL" CONDITION. I HAVE REQUESTED THE MANUFACTURER TO BUY-BACK MY VEHICLE UNDER THE LEMON LAW SINCE IT HAS BEEN REPORTED FOUR TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION, BUT THE REQUEST HAS BEEN REFUSED BECAUSE THERE IS NO FAILURE. I FEEL THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, NOT TO MENTION WHAT IS DOES FOR MY NERVES WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

FUEL PUMP STARTED MAKING NOISE AT 42000 MILES ISUZU SAID THIS PROBLEM CAN NOT BE CORRECTED, AND THAT MOST PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS NOISE. *AK

BRAKES: WHEN COMING TO A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR GOING OVER A BUMP AT A RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED, THERE IS A DELAY AND BRAKES DO NOT WORK. BRAKE IS PUSHED DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK BARELY STOPS IN TIME. ALMOST HIT PEDESTRIANS TWICE DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE! I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. DEALER TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. TRANSMISSION: CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN SOMETIMES. IT REVS HIGH AND HAS OCCASIONALLY LUNGED FORWARD WHILE BRAKING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AT THIS POINT, I DON'T WANT THIS TRUCK ANYMORE. THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT AND TWO RECALLS ALREADY. THE MAIN REASON IS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE WHEN BRAKES FAIL AGAIN!!!!*AK
