ISUZU Complaints

TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY I-78 EAST DURING A RAINSTORM THE STEERING ROD GAVE CAUSING ME TO SPIN ABOUT THREE TIMES FACING THE ON COMING TRAFFIC. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID EITHER SOMEONE LOSEN THEM OR THEY WHERE NEVER TIGHTENED FROM THE MANUFACTEUR. THE NUTS WHERE TIGHTENED AND THE TIRES WHERE REALINED...

ORIGINAL TIRES ON VEHICLE WERE DUELER 684. REPLACED WITH SAME TIRE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. UNDERSTOOD AT THAT TIME THE DUELER 684 WAS NO LONGER PRODUCED BUT LOCAL FIRESTONE STORE SPECIAL ORDERED LAST 3 TIRES FROM ANOTHER LOCATION'S STOCK SO I WOULD ONLY HAVE TO REPLACE 3 TIRES AND USE MY ORIGINAL UNUSED SPARE. ON 6/12/00 I NOTICED A BULGE ON BACK LEFT TIRE WITH SMALLTIRE SEPARATION. I IMMEDIATELY REPLACED WITH SPARE. DURING THE WEEK BEFORE I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE FOR REPLACEMENT THE DEFECTIVE TIRE WAS ON MY SPARE RACK AND TOTALLY DECOMPRESSED WITH HALF OF THE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. I WAS LUCKY! LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER (STORE #008842) PRO-RATED TIRE FOR $49.99. TIRE ONLY HAD ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. FIRESTONE REPLACED WITH DUELER H/L P-MET P245/70R16. OTHER TROOPER AND SAME TIRE OWNERS SHOULD ALSO KNOW ABOUT THIS TIRE!! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THE DUELER 684'S AND HOPE THESE ARE ALSO RECALLED!( DOT NUMBER: Y7MT TIRE SIZE: P245/70R16 )

WINDSHIELD WIPERS START AND STOP WHEN EVER THEY WANT.THEY DO NOT WORK AT ALL NOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT RAINS!!! I HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE LAST 3 CHEVY PRODUCTS THAT I HAVE OWNED.OUR LOCAL DEALER SAID HE HAS REPLACED OVER 200 UNITS IN THE LAST YEAR,AND PARTS FOR THIS WIPER UNIT ARE NOT AVALIBLE AT ANY AUTO PARTS STORE.VIRTUALLY EVER PERSON I HAVE SPOKEN WITH WHO OWNS A CHEVY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM,BUT INSTEAD THE DEALERS ARE MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OFF THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET THAT A LOT OF ISUZU'S HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. ISUZU HAS IGNORED THE PROBLEM AND SHIFTED THE BLAME TO OTHERS WITH A RIDICULOUS TORQUE LIMIT. *NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED IN SUMMARY. *AK
