THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN ISUZU DEALER BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE A CRACKED HEAD ON THE ENGINE.

TL* - THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE OWNS A 2002 ISUZU RODEO. SHE PURCHASED THEVEHICLE IN APRIL 2005. THE VEHICLE HAD AN ODOMETER READING OF APPROXIMATELY 16000 MILES AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, AND IT CURRENTLY HAS 66,000 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT IS 6000 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY. THE MOTOR SEIZED ON DECEMBER 15, 2005 WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, IN CEAR WEATHER AND THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE FINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAVE SUGGESTED THAT THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO FAIL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NEITHER ISUZU NOR HOFFMAN FORD WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIR WORK. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS FROM ISUZU OWNERS WITH THE SAME FAILURE. *AK

CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE IT STRUCK THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE COLLISION WAS ENOUGH TO CAUSE OVER $4000.00 IN DAMAGE TO THE ISUZU BUT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE JERKS FORWARD EVERY TIME THE GEAR IS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. UPON INSPECTION THE INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED THERE IS A HOLE IN THE PISTON COVER CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE. THE PISTON COVER NEEDS REPLACED.

2002 RODEO GAS FUEL PUMP IS DEFECTIVE. *TS THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATES THERE IS NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 05V466000 REGARDING FUEL PUMP FAILURE. THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO THE MANUFACTURER, WHO HAS CONFIRMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *AK

DRIVER SIDE FRONT BRAKE PADS SHEARED CLEAR OF THE CLIPS, JAMMED THE ROTOR TO WHERE IT COULD NOT BE TURNED BY HAND, BROKE THE SEALS ON THE CALIPER PISTONS RELEASING BRAKE FLUID. *JB RESULT WAS A DRIVER SIDE TIRE THAT WAS LOCKED UP ALMOST TO THE POINT OF SKIDDING AND NO BRAKES. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM THE TIME THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED (A STRANGE SOUND) TO THE POINT AT WHICH THERE WERE NO BRAKES. ALSO, NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WAS EVER SEEN BY THE DRIVER. TOPPED OFF THE BRAKE RESERVOIR, PUMPED THE BRAKES ABOUT 6 TIMES UNTIL RESERVOIR WAS BACK DOWN TO "ADD" AND STILL NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT VISIBLE ON THE DASH. *JB

I HAVE A 2002 ISUZU RODEO. I WAS COMING FROM A GAS STATION GETTING READY TO TURN ONTO THE STREET WHEN MY VEHICLE JUST DIED..IT WAS PUSHED TO A SIDE STREET AND LEFT. WE WENT BACK ABOUT ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATER AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THEN THE NEXT DAY IT DIED ON THE STREET AGAIN WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE WHOLE VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN, YOU COULDN'T EVEN JUMP IT.

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 ISUZU RODEO. VEHICLE IS LEAKING ANTI-FREEZE. HE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER, AND HE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ANYMORE.*AK

DT: CONTACT STATES WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING BEING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE LOCAL SERVICE DEALER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED, BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN.*AK

I HAVE LESS THAN 55,000 MILES ON MY 2002 RODEO. A MONTH AGO WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE GEAR SHIFT FROM 1 TO 2ND WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THE TRUCK WOULD SHAKE AND SHUDDER AND START TO STALL BEFORE KICKING INTO GEAR - MAKING MY INABILITY TO OPERATE VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO ACCIDENTS (LUCKILY I HAD NONE). I TOOK TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION MY BE SHOT COMPLETELY - I HAD LEAKED 4 QRTS OF FLUID WITH NO INDICATION THAT I WAS LOW. WHEN HE ORDERED THE PART FROM THE LOCAL DEALER - HE ADMITTED TO ME THAT WITH OTHER VEHICLES IT IS RARE THAT THESE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND NEED TO BE BACK ORDERED AND THAT B/C THEY HAD ON HAND THIS MUST BE A COMMON PROBLEM. HE SEALED THE LEAKS (THERE WERE SEVERAL). HOWEVER, THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL LEAKING AND I'M NOT SURE IS THERE WOULD BE ANY RESOLVE WITH REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH RODEO TRANSMISSION AND IS A DEFECTIVE PART THEN A RECALL IS IN ORDER.

THE CONSUMER TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER AND IT WAS ON FOR ABOUT 30 MIN. TEN MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF THE REAR WINDSHIELD EXPLODED INTO DRIVEWAY AND STREET. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE POLICE AND DEALERSHIP TO SEND SOMEONE TO CHECK CAR. THE CONSUMER WANTED THE DEALER TO INSPECT BEFORE CLEANED UP BUT THEY REFUSED ANY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THE WINDOW TINT INSTALLED WAS AGAINST THE HANDBOOK RULES. *BF *NM

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE AUTOMOBILE SUDDENLY LOST THE POWER. THE ENGINE OIL WAS GONE. I PUT SLIC50 WITH MY ENGINE OIL AND THE ENGINE DID NOT BURNED COMPLETELY. HOWEVER, WITHOUT SLIC50, THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY BURNED AND CAUSED THE ACCIDENT ON I-285 IN ATLANTA.*AK

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE REAR TINTED WINDOWS SHATTERED AFTER THE CONSUMER TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM. DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE TINT APPLIED ON THE WINDOW. *AK

I HAVE A 2002 ISUZU RODEO LS WITH A SIX CYLINDER ENGINE AND A 2 WHEEL DRIVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS SEALED AND THE OWNER'S MANUAL REQUIRES SERVICE AT 120,000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN THE VEHICLE UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS, AND I HAVE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING BEHIND THE VEHICLE. NONETHELESS, MY TRANSMISSION RECENTLY STARTED TO SHUDDER AND LURCH WHEN THE VEHICLE INITIALLY ACCELERATED FROM LOW TO SECOND GEAR. WHEN THIS PROBLEM BEGAN, THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 55,500. THE PROBLEM GREW PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, AND I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE AT ABOUT 56,000. THE DEALERSHIP TO WHICH I TOOK THE CAR ADVISED ME THAT A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION HAD GONE BAD AND THAT THEY HAD SEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES AND THAT ISUZU HAD A REPLACEMENT PART TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IF IT IS INDEED A DEFECTIVE PART, I THINK A RECALL MAY BE WARRANTED FOR SAFETY REASONS. MOST NOTABLY, THE PROBLEM CAUSED MY CAR TO MOMENTARILY STOP ACCELERATING IN LOW GEAR, AND ON ONE OCCASION, THE DELAYED ACCELERATION CAUSED A CLOSE CALL BECAUSE MY CAR MOMENTARILY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEFT-HAND TURN. THE OTHER CONCERN IS THAT AFTER SHUDDERING AND NOT ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY CATCH THE GEAR AND LURCH FORWARD, AGAIN, A SAFEY CONCERN DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT OF THE CAR.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IT GOT STUCK. CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE COMPUTER SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK WHILE SWITCHING TO THE HOV LANE THE GAS PEDAL STUCK. CAR FINALLY STOPPED ACCELORATING AFTER THREE MINUTES. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RETURN THE CONSUMERS CALLS. *TC

THIS COMPLAINT CONCERNS MY 2002 ISUZU RODEO VEHICLE. WHILE TRAVELING FROM DALLAS TO BEAUMONT, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE STOPPED AND THE OIL AND WATER WAS FINE BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO BURN. AFTER CHECKING THE OWNER'S MANUEL I LEARNED THAT THE LIGHT INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE EMMISSION CONTROL. THE MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN I ENTERED THE DEARLERSHIP WAS 23,815 MILES AND THE CAR NOT ONLY HAS IZUSU'S WARRANTY BUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS/100,000 MILES. AFTER JK CHEVROLET/ISUZU SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECKED OUT THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD THAT THE EGR FUEL SYSTEM UNIT NEEDED SERVICE AND THAT THERE WAS CARBON DEPOSITS AND CORROSION BUILD UP WHICH RESTRICTED THE FLOW OF UNBURNED FUEL MIXTURE TO THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALE (EGR). I MIGHT ALSO NOTE THAT PRIOR TO THIS I WAS GETTING 13 MILES PER GALLON ON THIS VEHICLE.....THE ADVERTISED AVERAGE IF 17 TO 23 MPG. ISUZU REFUSED TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THEY STATED IT WAS A "MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE". QUITE FRANKLY, I HAVE OWNED MANY DIFFERENT MAKES OF CARS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD CARBON BUILD UP IN ANY OF THEM, EVEN ONE THAT HAS OVER A 100,000 MILES ON IT. IF THIS IS STARTING AT 23,800 MILES THEN WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLE? I DO NOT USE CHEAP GASOLINE IN MY CARS. I USE THE MIDDLE GRADE OF CHEVRON OR SHELL GASOLINE. WHILE TAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT JK I LEARNED THAT HAD SEEN MORE AND MORE OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH LOW MILEAGE ISUZU WHICH TO ME WOULD INDICATE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. AT MY EXPENSE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SERVICED THE EGR FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE UNITS AND REMOVED CARBON DEPOSITS AND CORROSION BUILD UP FROM THE ENGINE. THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED #10196 FUEL SYS TUNE U $48.00, # 8-97104-317-2 GASKET: EGR VLV $7.60 AND LABOR EGR FUEL SYSTEM SERV. UNITS 2 TECHS $144.35.*AK

I DRIVE AN ISUZU RODEO WHICH WAS JUST DIANOSED WITH A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION. THE HOUSING WHICH HOLDS ALL THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS IS DAMAGED AND "COULD HAVE SORTED OUT THE SYSTEMS IN MY VEHICLE" AND MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE STALLED OUT. THIS DAMAGE IS SO SERIOUS, I COULD NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE OFF THE LOT. MY CAR IS NOW DOWN 7 -10 DAYS WHILE THIS REPAIR IS MADE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC THAT THIS HAPPENS IN 10% OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE RETURNED FOR REPAIR. I AM NOW OUT MONEY FOR A RENTAL AND INCONVENIENCED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND CONSUMERS SHOULD BE WARNED OF THIS DANGEROUS AND SERIOUS MANUFACTURING ERROR. *AK

REAR WINDOW ON MY 2002 IZUSU RODEO EXPLODED. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME,THE DEALERSHIP CLAIM THAT THE AFTERMARKET TINT I INSTALL HOLD THE HEAT ON WHEN THE REAR DEFROSTER IS ON AND CAUSE THE WINDOW TO EXPLODE. *AK

I HAVE A 2002 ISUZU RODEO THAT HAS ABS SENSORS REPLACED TWICE WITHIN A TWO-MONTH PERIOD. BOUGHT BRAND NEW LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, AND BOTH TIMES THE BRAKES MADE NOISE AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THE SECOND TIME, MY ABS FAILED TO ENGAGE AND I WAS ABOUT A FOOT AWAY FROM HITTING A POLICE CAR. *LA

I OWN A 2002 ISUZU RODEO. THE ABS SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED 3 TIMES SO FAR.*AK I TALKED TO A FEW PEOPLE WHO OWN ISUZU RODEO AND THEY ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM OF THE ISUZU RODEO .WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

WHEN THE THUMPING OCCURRED THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, THE CONSUMER HAD TO RIDE IN THE SHOULDER TO KEEP FROM COLLIDING WITH OTHER VEHICLES. *AK THE FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT A NORMAL SPEED SHE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS A THUMPING UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE FAILED STOP AND SLID PARTIALLY INTO AN INTERSECTION. THE SERVICE REP STATED IT WAS FROM THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BEING ACTIVATED AND THE BRAKES PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. *CB ALSO THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START, THE DEALER FOUND THE GROUND HARNESS ON THE ALTERNATOR LOOSE AND STRIPPED OUT WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT TO THE RED ZONE. *JB
