Isuzu Rodeo Electrical System Safety Report | June 03, 2013
Reported on June 03, 2013
| SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES TO START WITH. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS WITH THE WINDOWS. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP, SO WE GOT THE SWITCH TESTED, SWITCH TESTED OK SO WE PURCHASED A NEW MOTOR. INSTALL THE NEW MOTOR AND WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP. THEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED TO ACT UP INTERMITTENTLY. THEN THE AUX PLUGIN BLEW A FUSE, CHANGE THE FUSE AND IT BLEW AGAIN. NOTICED THERE WAS CORROSION ALL THE TIME AT BATTERY CABLES, SO I CHANGED THE BATTERY. THEN THE STARTER WAS NO GOOD. CHANGED THE STARTER AND NOW THE BATTERY IS NOT GOOD. CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE IS A GROUND AT THE STARTER;NONE FOUND. TAKE BATTERY OUT AND EXCHANGE. IN THE MEANTIME THE CAR STALLS OUT INTERMITTENTLY. I CAN BE GOING 50MPH OR 25MPH, IT WON'T MATTER, THE CAR JUST STALLS OUT.I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE WHEEL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. RADIO GOES OFF AND ON SOMETIMES BUT MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE CAR STALLING OUT.I CAN ALSO SMELL SOMETIMES WIRES MELTING. I OPEN THE HOOD TO CHECK AND I FIND NOTHING. I SERVICE THE CAR EVERY 4 MONTHS. MY MECHANIC ADVISED FOR ME TO TAKE IT TO SOMEONE WHO CAN CHECK THE ELECTRICAL. THERE ARE TOO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES GOING ON WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL OR OK. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE FRONT WINDOWS. AND THE FUSE STILL BLOWS FOR THE AUX PLUGIN. WILL BE CHECKING ON ALTERNATOR NEXT BUT THE DASH DOES NOT INDICATE ANY ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY NOT CHARGING. | |
