THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM INDICATION LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION. CHECK THE MESSAGE BOARDS ON THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL SEE ALOT OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. ALSO THE EGR VALVE PROBLEM WHERE THE VEHICLE CLOGS WITH CARBON BUILD UP CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENLY AND THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT. THE PROBLEMS HAPPEN TO ENOUGH OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *NM

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STARTED RIDING ROUGHLY AND HESITATED WHILE ACCELERATING. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE HEAD GASKET WAS CRACKED. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY YEAR WITH MY AIR CONDITIONER. THE COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED EVERY TIME, TWICE LAST YEAR WITH IN 3 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. THEY HAVE REPLACE THE FOLLOWING PARTS AS WELL GASKETS, DRYER, VALVES AND COOLING CLUTCH. NOW I HAVE IT IN THE SHOP AGAIN TODAY. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AT FIRST EXCEPT THAT I WAS LOW ON FREON AND THEY SAID I SHOULD BE ADDING EACH YEAR. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. NOW THEY TELL ME THEY FOUND A BAD O RING THAT GOES TO THE HOSE OFF THE DRYER FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER. I HAVE TO PAY $100 FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY CHARGE. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD EVEN HAVE TO PAY THIS.

ORGINAL VALVE STEM SEALS MALFUNCTIONED. EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OIL ENTERED COMBUSTION CHAMBER CAUSING ACCUMULATION OF ABNORMAL AMOUNTS OF CARBON DEPOSITS WHICH RAISED TEMPERATURE IN COMUBUSTION CHAMBER LEADING TO PRE-IGNITION / DETONATION WHICH RUINED THE ENGINE. COST OVER $7,500 TO REPLACE ENGINE THAT WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND HAD BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 75,000 MILES UNDER NORMAL OPERATION. *AK

MY RODEO IS AT 61000 MILES, EXACTLY 1000 MILES OVER WARRANTY AND I HAVE TWO CRACKED CYLINDER HEADS WHICH IS $4500 TO FIX. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND I HAD NO WARNING. I HAVE SPENT 3 DAYS CALLING ISUZU HEADQUARTERS AND RECEIVING NOTHING BUT VOICEMAIL. AFTER LEAVING 15 MESSAGES I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RETURN CALL.*AK

#10023836 | June 26, 2003

LEASE IS COMPLETE ON JULY 9, 2003. ON JUNE 26, 2003 WITH ONLY 43,947 MILES, WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN A CORNER, THE HEAD GASKET BLEW. THIS IN TURN CAUSED THE RADIATOR TO FAIL, WHICH CAUSED THE FOLLOWING NEEDED REPAIRS: REPLACEMENT OF THE HEAD GASKET, MANIFOLD GASKET, RADIATOR, VALVE GRIND GASKET, PCM MODULE AND VARIOUS SMALL TICKET ITEMS SUCH AS THE OIL FILTER AND COOLANT. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO CALLED FOR WARRANTY INFORMATION AND WAS TOLD THAT ONLY A 3 YR, 50,000 MILE WARRANTY WAS AVAILABLE. I THEN CALLED ISUZU CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOLD ABOUT THE 5 YR, 60,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. CONTACTED OUR LOCAL ISUZU DEALER WHO STATES THAT ONLY THE HEAD GASKET IS COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND THE REMAINING REPAIRS WOULD BE SUBJECT TO EVALUATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS NEGLECTED. UNTIL JUNE 26, 2003, THE ONLY MAINTENACE REQUIRED BY...
