ISUZU Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH ON A RURAL ROAD AND I NOTICED THAT UPON GIVING SOME GAS THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL. THEN I NOTICED THAT ALL MY INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WERE OUT....EVERYTHING GONE. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WITH DIFFICULTY IN STEERING (THERE WAS NO POWER), I PULLED TO STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND TURNED THE IGNITION KEY OFF, THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE AWAY. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAPPENED (LAST WEEK).....A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I KNOW ISUZU SHARES PARTS WITH GM (E.G. MY TRANSMISSION IS GM). I HOPE THIS IS NOT AN EXAMPLE OF THAT GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM.....BUT CERTAINLY HAS THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS OF IT. BUT IT IS VERY SCARY LOOSING COMPLETE POWER LIKE THAT. *TR

2008 ISUZU I-370. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIR BAG MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE BLACKED OUT AT THE WHEEL, AND THE VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER 3 TIMES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *JB

MY CAR RUNS FINE BUT FOR SOME REASON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL IS ERRATIC OR DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, MY SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATES, THE RPM, OIL AND GAS LEVEL GAUGES DO NOT WORK AT ALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN VEHICLE, APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, NORMAL DRY CONDITIONS, DRIVER-SIDE REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING ARM BRACKET BROKE FREE FROM FRAME. VEHICLE VEERED RIGHT SLIGHTLY AND GENERATED A GROANING SOUND. PULLED VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. UPON INSPECTION UNDERNEATH VEHICLE REALIZED FRAME SECTION CORRODED COMPLETELY THROUGH ALLOWING TRAILING ARM BUSHING MOUNTING BRACKET TO COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM FRAME. LOW MILEAGE (CONSIDERING YEAR) WELL CARED FOR VEHICLE IN OTHERWISE GOOD CONDITION. HAVE SENSE LEARNED THIS TO BE AN ALL TOO COMMON PROBLEM KNOWN BY OEM BUT NOT BY SECONDARY BUYERS, THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE ON ROAD. LESS THAN A YEARS USE FROM THIS VEHICLE AFTER LOAN/PURCHASE. *TR

ENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH IGNITION SWITCH IN THE RUN POSITION. AFTER STOPPING, I HAD TO REINSERT THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO STAY IN THE RUN POSITION. IT WOULD START EASILY THEN STOP WITH SWITCH STILL ON. MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH, NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. *TR

WHILE SLOWLY DRIVING ON OUR HOME STREET I WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. OUR MECHANIC ADVISED US THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE FRAME HAD SNAPPED. THE REAR SHOCK ON THAT SIDE PULLED OFF THE FRAME DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE RUST. THE OTHER SIDE SHOWS SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE RUST ALSO. THE CAR IS NOW NOT PASSABLE FOR VEHICLE INSPECTION AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE REST OF THE CAR LOOKS GREAT. *TR

THE FRAME IS RUSTED OUT AND FALLING OFF IN CHUNKS. I DIDN'T GET AN INSPECTION DONE IN JAN 2013 BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THE YEAR BEFORE THAT THE RUST IS GETTING BAD. OTHER THAN THE FRAME, THE VEHICLE IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. IT ISN'T A SAFE VEHICLE. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY HUSBAND TO DIALYSIS AND THE CAR FELT DIFFERENT, THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD A FLAT TIRE OR SOMETHING, I DIDN'T HAVE A FLAT TIRE SO IT WAS WINDY AND THOUGHT MAYBE WIND WAS PUSHING ME. IT JUST FELT FUNNY AND I WAS ALARMED. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TURNING A CORNER AT LOW RATE OF SPEED (THANK GOD) AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SCRATCHING. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND CALLED A MECHANIC AND TOOK IT THERE. THE MECHANIC JUST TOLD ME TODAY THAT HE CAN'T BE DRIVEN IT IS A TOTAL LOSS THE UNDER CARRIAGE AND SUSPENSION IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. I NEVER RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE AND MADE AWARE, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. I AM ASKING FOR RELIEF AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. IT NOT EASY TO JUST PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN YOU HAVE A ISUZU RODEO PAID OFF. PLEASE CONTACT US. *TR
