ISUZU Complaints

SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES TO START WITH. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS WITH THE WINDOWS. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP, SO WE GOT THE SWITCH TESTED, SWITCH TESTED OK SO WE PURCHASED A NEW MOTOR. INSTALL THE NEW MOTOR AND WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP. THEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED TO ACT UP INTERMITTENTLY. THEN THE AUX PLUGIN BLEW A FUSE, CHANGE THE FUSE AND IT BLEW AGAIN. NOTICED THERE WAS CORROSION ALL THE TIME AT BATTERY CABLES, SO I CHANGED THE BATTERY. THEN THE STARTER WAS NO GOOD. CHANGED THE STARTER AND NOW THE BATTERY IS NOT GOOD. CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE IS A GROUND AT THE STARTER;NONE FOUND. TAKE BATTERY OUT AND EXCHANGE. IN THE MEANTIME THE CAR STALLS OUT INTERMITTENTLY. I CAN BE GOING 50MPH OR 25MPH, IT WON'T MATTER, THE CAR JUST STALLS OUT.I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE WHEEL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. RADIO GOES OFF AND ON SOMETIMES BUT MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE CAR STALLING OUT.I CAN ALSO SMELL SOMETIMES WIRES MELTING. I OPEN THE HOOD TO CHECK AND I FIND NOTHING. I SERVICE THE CAR EVERY 4 MONTHS. MY MECHANIC ADVISED FOR ME TO TAKE IT TO SOMEONE WHO CAN CHECK THE ELECTRICAL. THERE ARE TOO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES GOING ON WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL OR OK. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE FRONT WINDOWS. AND THE FUSE STILL BLOWS FOR THE AUX PLUGIN. WILL BE CHECKING ON ALTERNATOR NEXT BUT THE DASH DOES NOT INDICATE ANY ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY NOT CHARGING.

1999 ISUZU AMIGO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET CORROSION RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING THAT RECALL # 12V306000 BE INVESTIGATED AND EXTENDED. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE DID NOT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AS CONFIRMED BY PHONE WITH CUSTOMER SUPPORT 08/13/13 ACKNOWLEDGING THE NOTICE WAS RETURNED AS UNDELIVERABLE SEPTEMBER 2012. CUSTOMER SUPPORT FIRST CLAIMED TO HER HUSBAND, VIA PHONE ON 08/13/13 THAT TWO NOTICES WERE SENT, BUT UPON HER CALLING THAT SAME DAY, CUSTOMER SUPPORT SAID ONLY ONE NOTICE WAS SENT TO OWNERS. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED, HER VEHICLE WAS NINE DAYS PAST THE JULY 31ST DEADLINE FOR THE SUSPENSION CHECK-UP.

THE FRAME ATTACHED TO THE REAR STABILIZER BAR DECAYED OFF. AFTER INVESTIGATION THE WHOLE FRAME IS DISINTEGRATE BEYOND REPAIRS. *TR

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE CERTIFIED ISUZU DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR DURING THE 2010 RECALL FOR PREMATURE RUST (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : EA09018) ACCORDING TO THEM MY VEHICLE DID NOT REQUIRE THE BRACKET TO BE INSTALLED. THEY TREATED THE PART WITH THE PREVENTIVE COMPOUND. DURING RECENT MAINTENANCE TO MY TRUCK WE NOTICE THE ENTIRE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED, TO A POINT THAT YOU A EASILY POKE YOUR FINGER THROUGH THE CHASIS IN MULTIPLE AREAS. I TOOK IT BACK TO HYUNDAI OF LOUISVILLE TO BE INSPECTED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET (WHICH WAS THE ONLY PART RECALLED) NEEDED TO HAVE THE BRACKET INSTALLED BECAUSE IT DOES CURRENTLY SHOW DAMAGE. AFTER CONTACTING ISUZU THEY INFORM ME THAT SINCE THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED THEY WILL NOT COVER INSTALLATION OF THE BRACKET. SO I AM NOW STUCK WITH A FAMILY VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE! I DID EVERYTHING REQUIRED OF ME DURING THE RECALL. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! WHAT AM I TO DO NOW??? *TR

WHILE DRIVING I FELT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SWING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, THEN SECONDS LATER THERE WAS NO BRAKE. I WENT TO INVESTIGATE AND NOTICE THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME OF THE CAR WAS ROTTED OUT. THE BRACKET THAT "HOUSE" THE SHOCK WAS ROTTED OUT, WHICH CAUSED THE SHOCK TO BREAK LOOSE AND SEVER THE BREAK LINE. THE BRACKET THAT ATTACHED THE AXLE TO THE FRAME WAS ALSO ROTTED AND IS SEPARATING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY, NO ONE WAS HURT. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT PROCESS TO TAKE TO ENSURE VEHICLE ISSUES ARE CORRECTED CONSIDERING THIS YEAR ,MAKE AND MODEL WAS ON THE RECALL LIST, AND THAT SEVERAL NEWS CHANNEL (TEAM 5 INVESTIGATES) AS DONE REPORT ON THIS VERY PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER RECEIVING RECALL INFO IN 2010 ISUZU DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE AND TREATED THE FRAME WITH CHEMICAL TO PREVENT FURTHER EROSION. JUST HAD MY TRUCK IN REPAIR SHOP WHEN THEY NOTIFIED ME OF THE UNSAFE CONDITION OF PASSENGER SIDE REAR FRAME. YOU CAN STICK YOUR FINGER THROUGH THE FRAME, BECAUSE IT HAS RUSTED THROUGH. CONTACTED ISUZU TODAY AND THEY REFUSE TO LOOK AT IT. *TR
