Isuzu Rodeo Sport Fuel System, Other Safety Report | May 12, 2007
Reported on May 12, 2007
| I PURCHASED A USED 2001 ISUZU RODEO SPORT IN JUNE 2005. THE VERY NEXT WEEK I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO CARMAX DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARING THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THEY INSISTED IT WAS JUST MY GAS CAP NOT WORKING PROPERLY. MY TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED NOT EVEN 1 YEAR AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE. FOR THE LAST YEAR MY CHECK ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND CRUISE CONTROL LIGHTS APPEAR WHEN I HIT A BUMP, THEN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIES OUT. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 15 TIMES A DAY. I'VE COME VERY CLOSE TO BEING HIT BY OTHERS MANY TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT & THEY SAID THE DIAGNOSTIC COMES UP AS A FUEL INTAKE SENSOR ISSUE. SO I'M JUST VERY CONFUSED, THE CAR DIES OUT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, USUALLY WHEN A BUMP IS HIT.. HOW COULD THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE GAS?? I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH BECAUSE I'VE DISHED OUT THOUSANDS TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED OVER THE LAST 2 YRS. COME TO FIND OUT, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVING DEFECTIVE WIRING IN THE ENGINE, LEADING TO THE CAR DYING OUT WHILE DRIVING. I WAS JUST IN SHOCK. HOW COULD THIS ISSUE NOT HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED YEARS AGO. MANY OF THE COMPLAINS INCLUDE ACCIDENTS BEING A MAJOR PART OF THIS ISSUE. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE AND ISUZU IS AWARE. WHY IS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF A DEFECT THAT IS IN THE 2001 MODELS.. PLEASE READ THE ARTICLES ON LINE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW MANY COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS ISSUE THERE REALLY ARE. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD NOT DYE OUT WHILE IN MOTION... MY CHILDREN AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AND UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE DEFECT AT THIS TIME. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS WITH ISUZU. THANK YOU *TR | |
