ISUZU Complaints

THIS AND OTHER PROBLEMS THAT HAVE OCCURED WITH THIS VEHICLE I BELIEVE WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR VEHICLES EITHER IN 1992 OR 1993 RECALL BY ISUZU OR NHSTA. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK

WHEN CAR WARMS UP YOU CANT DRIVE OR IT WILL STALL. ONCE WARMED UP IT WILL NOT START. I SAW AN ARTICLE ON THE ISUZUPERFORMANCE WEB SITE THAT SAID OTHER VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT ALSO STATED THE REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM IS A FAULTY ECU COMPUTER MADE AND INSTALLED BY AC DELCO. I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD THIS INFORMATION BEFORE I WENT OUT A BOUGHT PARTS TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM MYSELF. IF ITS THE COMPUTER, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THAT ON MY OWN. A RESPONSE ON THIS ISSUE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT ANY MPH VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, AND AT THE SAME TIME, POWER STEERING WILL BE LOST. *AK

STEERING LINKAGE IS LOOSE; CLICKS BACK AND FORTH WHEN DRIVEN ON A STRAIGHT ROAD.

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS I TRIED TO STOP RAPIDLY AND THE ABS ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT LET THE VEHICLE STOP. IT JUST MADE A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR . I RAN INTO A DITCH ONCE, AND 3 TIMES I BARELY AVOIDED HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND.*AK

AFTER 5 MONTHS, 7,500 MILES, WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, ENGINE BEGAN TAPPING AND RESULTED IN SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. DEALER HAS RODEO, BUT CANNOT LOCATE ENGINE. WE ARE AFRAID THAT VEHICLE WILL LOSE MARKET VALUE BECAUSE OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT IN EARLY YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. *AK

ENGINE REVES BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED THE CAR SURGES FORWARD. THIS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO NUMEROUS TO COUNT. VEHICCLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER (BERNARD ISUZU) 5 TIMES, NOT REPAIRED, REQUESTING REPLACEMENT FROM MANUFACTURER. THEY ARE UNRESPONSIVE. *AK

MY WIFE AND I WENT ON VACATION AND WAS EXITING ON THE THE FREEWAY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. AFTER A SECOND OR TWO IT POPPED BACK UP AND THE BRAKES ENGAGED WITH A LOUD METAL GRINDING/HITTING SOUND. IN THE PROCESS OF STOPPING AND ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF US THE RODEO HOPPED A LITTLE BIT. LATER THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID CONTAINER AND THE FLUID LEVEL WAS AT THE MAX LINE. BUT I DID NOTICE CRUD IN THE BRAKE FLUID WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT WOULD GET IN THE FLUID EXECT FROM THE SYSTEM. THE CAP TO THE BRAKE FLUID HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN OFF TO MY KNOWLEDGE. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPEDED BEFORE AND WE TOOK THE RODEO TO THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT IT FROM AND THE MECHANIC TOOK THE RODEO FOR A TEST DRIVE AND NO PROBLEM OCCURED AND NOTHING WAS CHECKED WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE MECHANIC DIDN'T CHECK THE BRAKE LINES, MASTER CYLINDER, ETC. *AK

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, DEALER FOUND CRANK SENSOR HAD INTERMITTENT OPERATION. *SLC

SHOCKS NO GAS CHARGE IN FRONT RIGHT, WEAK IN RF. LR. RR. WEAK CAUSES EXTREME BODY ROLL SUV. BOTTUMS OUT OVER SMALL BUMPS DEALER CONTACTED LOOKED FOR LEAKS NONE DID NOT PULL OFF SHOCK TO CHECK I AM IN PROCESS OF FINDING AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT, THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT CORRECTED.*AK
