ISUZU Complaints

WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE LEFT REAR OF THE VEHICLE DRIFTED OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE LEFT TRAILING ARM HAD DISCONNECTED FROM THE FRAME. *TR

MY 1999 ISUZU ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, WE HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND ALL OF SUDDEN I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I WAS LUCKY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE ROAD. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE LOWER CONTROL BAR HAD SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME DUE TO RUST. THIS IS ONLY AN 11 YEAR OLD CAR, THIS SHOULD NOT HAD HAPPENED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY ISUZU RODEO FROM THE STORE AND WHEN I TURNED THE CORNER I LOST CONTROL OF THE REAR END! I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED UNDER MY CAR AND REALIZED MY FRAME WAS RUSTED OUT. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 2 YEARS AND I WAS TOLD IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED!!! *TR

THE FRAME OF MY 1997 ISUZU RODEO HAS RUSTED SO BADLY THAT IT HAS BROKEN IN HALF. I CAN PULL CHUNKS OUT OF THE FRAME WITH MY BARE HANDS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE IT. *TR

THE SWAY BAR OF THE REAR WHEEL AT THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY ISUZU RODEO 2001 FELT OFF OF THE FRAME WITHOUT A WARNING. AFTER A CLOSE INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS DUE TO A SEVERE CORROSION OF THE FRAME. THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED UP ON ENTERING IN A PARKING LOT. DUE TO THE LOW SPEED I MANAGED TO STOP PROMPTLY. I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A BUSY STREET THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 ISUZU RODEO AND THE FRAME IS RUSTED AND IS ABOUT TO SEPARATE AND IT CAN'T BE FIXED. I'VE BEEN TO 5 MECHANICS AND THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING THAT I MAY AS WELL JUNK IT, BUT I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF FOUR WHO NEEDS TRANSPORTATION. *TR

THE FRAME ON MY 2000 ISUZU RODEO HAS MAJOR STRUCTURAL RUST PROBLEMS. I AM WORRIED SOMETHING IS GOING TO GIVE WAY AND CAUSE A MAJOR CRASH IF I DRIVE IT ANY FURTHER. PLEASE WORK ON THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

I OWN A 2002 ISUZU RODEO. I AM THE ONLY OWNER. LAST YEAR 2009, IT SUDDENLY STARTED HAVING A JERKING MOVEMENT WHENEVER I STOP AND THEN ACCELERATE. IT GOT SO BAD THAT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME $695.00 TO FIX WHAT THEY SAID WAS A TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAK. IT RAN OK FOR A WHILE AND THEN I STATED NOTICING THAT I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GEAR WOULD SHIFT AND ON THE DASH INDICATOR IT WOULD BE SHOWING THAT THE GEAR IS IN PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL OR SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN DRIVE. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF THE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SWITCH THE ENGINE OFF AND ON A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE THE FAULT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. TODAY JUNE 30, 2010, I WAS DRIVING WHEN DASH INDICATOR FLIPPED TO NEUTRAL AND THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. BY THE TIME I GOT TO PULL OFF THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD AND I HAD TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO MOVE IT OFF THE ROAD. I AM NOTICING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAYS MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY SHOT. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR THE ODI TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO OWNERS DO NOT HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR REPAIRS ON THESE VEHICLES. I WILL BE CONTACTING ISUZU HEAD QUARTERS WITH A COMPLAINT, BUT I AM SURE THAT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AS THEY HAVE NEGLECTED TO INFORM CONSUMERS OF THIS PROBLEM SO THEY CAN GET VEHICLES CHECKED BEFORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS OCCUR. NOW I WILL BE STUCK WITH PAYING FOR REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHEN ISUZU IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NEGLECTED TO FIX IT. *TR

OWNER OF A 2000 ISUZU RODEO, RIGHT REAR (2009) SUSPENSION LOWER LINC COMPONENT RUSTED AND BROKEN OFF. CAUSING UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING WHILE DRIVING ... (JUNE 2010) LEFT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINC COMPONENT RUSTED AND BROKEN OFF. CAUSING UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I DRIVE A 2001 ISUZU RODEO 4X4. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 111,000 MILES ON IT AND IS IN GREAT SHAPE. IT IS GARAGED YEAR-ROUND IN TAUNTON MASSACHUSETTS. ON MONDAY JUNE 21, 2010 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON ROUTE 44 IN REHOBOTH MASSACHUSETTS. I STARTED HEARING A GRINDING NOISE AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. UPON LOOKING UNDER MY VEHICLE I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THE SHIELD THAT COVERS THE PLASTIC GAS TANK WAS ROTTED THROUGH. THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF THE GAS TANK IS NOW VISIBLE AND THE SHIELD IS THE PART THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE. I WENT TO A MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY AND HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT. WHEN THE MECHANIC PUT THE CAR ON THE LIFT HE SAW EXTENSIVE RUST AND SOME ROT UNDER THE VEHICLE ON THE FRAME. HE STATED THAT I WOULD BE LUCKY TO GET 2 MORE YEARS OF USE OUT OF THE RODEO BEFORE IT WOULD BE TOTALLY ROTTED OUT. AS OF RIGHT NOW IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE GAS TANKS SHIELD BEING ROTTED OUT. THE MECHANIC TRIED TO ORDER ME A REPLACEMENT BUT HIS SUPPLIER SAID THE PARTS ARE NO LONGER BEING MADE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET ONE WOULD BE FROM A JUNK YARD AND MOST OF THE PARTS IN THERE WOULD MOST LIKELY BE ROTTED AS WELL. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN, AGES 12 AND 8 ; I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO DRIVE THEM AROUND IN THIS CAR AND FEEL WRONGED BY ISUZU. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT AGAINST THEM AND EXPECT A RESOLUTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I WOULD BE PERFECTLY HAPPY GETTING THE CAR FIXED, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT MONTHS FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU *TR
