ISUZU Complaints

WHEN DRIVING AT 25 MPH CONSUMER HEARD A KNOCKING AND TICKING NOISE WITHIN THE FRONT END. ALSO, ABS LIGHT AND THE GAS LIGHT DID NOT WORK DURING LONG DRIVES. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL 00V058000 CONCERNING REAR AXLE FAILURE. CALLED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT, AND DEALER SAID WHEN PARTS WOULD CAME IN CONSUMER WOULD GET A CALL. HOWEVER, DEALER NEVER CALLED. *AK

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. HAD NO BRAKES. VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD SUDDENLY & HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER & WAS INFORMED THAT ABS SYSTEM WAS THE CAUSE, AND DEALER COULD NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM.*AK THE CONSUMER CLAIMS DEFECTIVE ABS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT THAT OCCURED. *YH

THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE EXCESSIVE BOUNCE WHEN LOADED WITH 4 PASSENGERS, LEADING TO A POSSIBLE CONTROL PROBLEM. USUALLY IT IS ONLY JUST ME OR TWO PASSENGERS IN THE CAR, AND I NOTICED THE PROBLEM FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN I HAD 4 PASSENGERS (NO OTHER LUGGAGE OR ITEMS IN CAR) ON NORMAL ROADS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE, AND THEY HAVE PERFORMED A COMPLETE INSPECTION OF THE SUSPENSION, SHOCKS, ETC., AND CAN FIND NO PROBLEMS. IT APPEARS TO BE EITHER A DESIGN ISSUE OR POSSIBLY A PROBLEM WITH INSUFFICIENT SUSPENSION FOR THE VEHICLE. I HAD A 1994 RODEO AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR PROBLEM, SO THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A DESIGN OR COMPONENT CHANGE WHICH HAS CHANGED THE RIDE. *AK

MY REGULAR MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS ELECTRICAL. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, BUT ON THE WAY HOME IT STALLED AGAIN. WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP THE CAR WILL SHAKE AND IDLE HIGH AND THEN STALL. IF I PRESS THE GAS AND KEEP THE CAR REVED UP IT WILL EVENTUALLY RETURN TO REGULAR IDLE, BUT SOMETIMES STILL STALLS.*AK

VEHICLE HAD A ROUTINE SERVICE ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO WHICH COST ABOUT $400. WHEN DRIVING, FOR THE PAST WEEK OR TWO, THE BRAKES SEEMED TO BE MAKING A PUMPING NOISE WHEN DEPRESSED. THE SERVICE CENTER REPORTED THAT BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE COMPLETELY WORN AND WARPED. I'M NOT SURE HOW THEY COULD HAVE MISSED THIS IN THE LAST SERVICE VISIT. *AK

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE GOING OVER A BUMP OR MANHOLE COVER, TRUCK SEEMED TO SKID. THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE WHEN PAVEMENT WAS WET. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED A COUPLE OF CRASHES. PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. BUT, PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. *AK *ML

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED IN HARD STOP MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH RESULT IN CRASH ON TWO OCCASIONS. *AK

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR RECALL (00V058) REPAIR OF THE REAR AXLE WHICH WAS MAKING THE NOISE, RETURNED AFTER BEING REPAIRED ONE DAY. *ET

ENGINE --WHILE DRIVING (USUALLY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MPH) AND USUALLY WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT THE ENGINE WILL COMPLETLY SHUT ITSELF OFF. THE WARNING LIGHTS KICK ON AND THE ENGINE KICKS OFF. ON OCCASION, WHILE PARKED OR GOING INTO REVERSE THE ENGINE WILL DO THE EXACT SAME THING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHILE PARKED THE RPM'S SEEM TO INCREASE GREATLY BEFORE THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. I HAVE HAD THE CAR REPEATEDLY AT THE DEALERSHIP HOWEVER, THEY CLAIM THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING IT. THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE RANDOM AND DO NOT ALWAYS REOCCUR GIVEN THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS. IT DID HAPPEN YESTERDAY AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT! AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM (NOT AS SEVERE) IS THAT WHEN AT A STOPLIGHT THE VEHICLE HAS A TENDENCY TO LUNGE FORWARD A BIT. (EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE) IT SEEMS TO ME THAT BOTH PROBLEMS MAY BE RELATED (I.E. A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM ?) HOWEVER, I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A VEHICLE THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T FIX AND I NOW CONSIDER EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. (TO THE POINT THAT IT PUTS ME IN LIFE THREATING SITUATIONS IF IT DIES WHILE IN ANOTHER MAJOR INTERSECTION) *AK
