ISUZU Complaints

DEALER SOLD ME VEHICLE WITH OPEN CAMPAIGN 00V253000 & 00V376000 AND DID NOT INFORM PRIOR TO PURCHASE. NOW ADVISES AN ISUZU DEALER TO HANDLE REPL'MNT.

WHEN DRIVING AND UPON ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A STOP, WHEN THERE IS A BUMP IN ROAD WAY, AND ONCE BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOORBOARD, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK THE PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS UNEVEN. *YH

I TOOK MY ISUZU RODEO TO HAVE THE ROCKER ARM NOISE FIXED. AFTER PICKING UP THE CAR HAVING ALREADY DONE THE LEFT SIDE OF THE MOTOR AND NO THE RIGHT.....THE IDLE NEVER HAS BEEN THE SAME..CAR HAS BEEN IN ON 5 TIMES NOW FOR A TOTAL OF 13 DAYS. THEY CANT FIGURE IT OUT. TOLD ME UNTIL THE IDLE IS UP ALL THE TIME THEY CANT FIX IT...THEY JUST DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS. *AK

MY SON WAS TAKING ME TO O'HARE AIRPORT ON 12/21/00. RODEO SUDDENTLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE SUV WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AT THE TIME AND WE COULD NOT DISENGATE IT. FOR A HARROWING 6 MILES, HE PUMPED THE BRAKES UNTIL IT SLOWED BUT WE COULD NOT STOP IT. DUE TO IT BEING 6:30 AM AND A LOT OF GOOD LUCK WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. FINALLY WHEN THE CAR HAD SLOWED WE PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND REGAINED CONTROL. THE SMELL FROM THE BRAKES BY THAT TIME WERE OVERWHELMING. THE CAR DEALER INFORMED US THAT THE THROTTLE CABLE HAD COME UNDONE. THEY DEEMED IT AN "ADJUSTMENT AND CHARGED US TO REATTACH IT. THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBLITY FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE BRAKES SUSTAINED IN OUR ATTEMPT TO SAVE OUR LIVES. I WANT TO ALERT YOU TO THE MECHANICAL DEFECT IN THIS CAR AND HOPE THAT NO ONE HAS LOST LIFE OR LIMB YET. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER INCIDENTS. THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AT THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS BOARD FOR ISUZU. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THIS CAR ON A HIGHWAY DUE TO MY LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT ABOUT 80-85MPH, AND REAR AXLE BROKE RIGHT OFF. A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE INCIDENT, VEHICLE WAS MAKING ALOT OF NOISES. HAS NOT CONTACTED DEALER YET. *AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING 80MPH ON HIGHWAY AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE FROM BACK END. FISHTAILED, AND LOST BRAKES, AND REAR TIRE CAME OFF. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. *AK

ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE (HEADLIGHTS, SIDE MARKERS, DASH LIGHT ETC) FLICKER OFF AND ON, THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS SINCE DAT OF PURCHASE, DEALER UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM STATING MAYBE A BULLETIN WILL BE ISSUED. NLM

ENGINE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY BACK IN OCTOBER (ABOUT ONCE A WEEK FOR THREE WEEKS) TOLD THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH OUR FOOT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR BEFORE STARTING THE CAR. CAME ON AGAIN AND I DROVE IT RIGHT IN AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. WATCH OUR DRIVING HABITS! CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR 9 DAYS STRAIGHT. BROUGHT IT OUT AND DEALER SAID IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY HAD IT BUT AFTER DOING THE OIL CHANGE THEY STARTED UP THE CAR AND SAID THAT IT CAME ON AND NEEDED A THROTTLE ADJUSTMENT. BROUGHT IT BACK OUT FOR THE THROTTLE ADJUSTMENT AND PROBLEM SEEMED TO HAVE DISSAPPEARED. ONE DAY IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. BROUGHT IT OUT AND THE COMPUTER ACKNOWLEDGED ANOTHER MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE THROTTLE WAS NEEDED. THEY DID THIS AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO HAVE GONE AWAY. MONDAY, JANUARY 29, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, IT CAME ON AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE REDUCED POWER LIGHT CAME ON. THIS TIME DEALERS CAME AND GOT THE CAR AND FIVE TROUBLE CODES REGISTERED ON THE COMPUTER. FIXED PROBLEM AGAIN AND RESET THE COMPUTER. I HAVE HAD IT! THERE IS NO RHYME TO REASON AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENS AND WE DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL! I CANNOT RELY ON THIS CAR!*AK

WHILE TRAVELING 55MPH VEHICLE ENDED UP ON TWO WHEELS, AND UPON COMING DOWN REAR AXEL BROKE.*AK

BRAKES DID NOT GRAB RIGHT OFF IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE PUT A STICK IN THE SPOKES OF A TIRE AND THEN THE BRAKES GRAB ALL OF A SUDDEN. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE ABS MODULE, THE MASTER CYLINDER, AND THE BRAKE FLUID COMPLETELY FLUSHED.*AK
