1999 ISUZU VEHICROSS — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

I OWN A 1999 ISUZU VEHICROSS WITH 107,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS NEVER GIVEN TROUBLE UNTIL NOW. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN METICULOUS ABOUT OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES IF NOT SOONER. I HAD AN COMPLETE OIL CHANGE 2 WEEKS AGO. YESTERDAY SAW OIL LIGHT FLICKERING AND ADDED 2 QTS OIL IMMEDIATELY. DROVE A COUPLE BLOCKS AND SAW OIL LIGHT FLICKERING AGAIN. PULLED INTO GARAGE AND THEY SAID "BONE DRY"! ADDED 3.5 QTS OIL RIGHT THEN. DROVE LESS THAN 1 MILE ONTO EXPRESSWAY ENTRY RAMP- CAR STOPPED DEAD RIGHT THERE! - I COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN KILLED BY SEMI BEARING DOWN BEHIND ME AT 55 MPH. LUCKILY I ESCAPED WITH MY LIFE BUT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED ANYWHERE: ON THE EXPRESSWAY FOR EXAMPLE AND I WOULD TODAY BE DEAD. CAUSE: SEIZED ENGINE FROM LACK OF OIL. TWO WEEKS AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AND ONLY AN HOUR AFTER 5.5 QTS OIL HAD BEEN ADDED: BONE DRY AGAIN. I'M TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ISUZU OWNERS AND THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY MAKE. I TOLD ISUZU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST ME. COST OF NEW ENGINE TO ME: $5,500! I HAVE LOAN ON THIS CAR FOR $6,600 ALREADY AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE. THE CONSUMER IS AGAIN LEFT STRAPPED TO DEAL WITH THIS FAULT MANUFACTURING. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL. *NM

MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND DRIVERSIDE WINDOW HAVE NEVER WORKED RIGHT. SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BEING CHARGED SEVERAL TIMES THEY STILL DON'T WORK. AT WWW.VEHICROSS.INFO ALL THE OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ISUZU IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEIR DEALERSHIPS DO NOT SEEM TO EVER FIX THE PROBLEM NOR DO THEY HONOR IT AS A WARRANTY ISSUE. MYSELF ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER VEHICROSS OWNERS WOULD LIKE TO SEE ACTION TOWARDS IZUSU TO RESOLVE THEIR WINDOW ISSUE. *JB

I OWN A 1999 ISUZU VEHICROSS THAT HAS A DRIVERS WINDOW PROBLEM, I RECENTLY FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL VEHICROSS YET THE DEALER CLAIMS THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. THE COST TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS 800 DOLLARS WHICH IS NOT A GUARANTEE. *JB

MY 1999 ISUZU VEHICROSS HAS FAULTY WINDOW REGULATORS AND TRACKS. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. THE POWER MOTORS STRAIN TO POSITION THE WINDOWS IN THEIR "CLOSED" LOCATION. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE MY HAND OFF THE STEERING WHEEL TO ASSIST THE MOTORS IN GETTING THE WINDOWS UP. IN MY OPINION THE FAULTY POWER WINDOW HARDWARE AND DESIGN MAKES FOR A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING. I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHERS WHO OWN THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT ON A MORE SEVERE SCALE REQUIRING MULTIPLE REPAIRS COSTING 100'S OF DOLLARS EACH TIME. *JB

MY 1999 ISUZU VEHICROSS HAS HAD CRONIC ISSUES WITH THE WINDOWS GETTING STUCK 3/4'S WAY AND SOMETIMES 1/2 WAY. I'M SURE ISUZU KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WHEN I SAY THAT. ANYWAYS, THE OWNERS HERE NEED A PERMENANT REPLACMENT PART TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
