Isuzu Rodeo Engine And Engine Cooling Safety Report | June 15, 2003
Reported on June 15, 2003
| I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO BRAND NEW FROM MANUAL OLDS/ISUZU IN NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT, EACH TIME TELLING ME THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE A/C IS ON, THE COMPRESSOR TURNS ON AND OFF AND IS VERY LOUD. WHEN THE COMPRESSOR TURNS ON THERE IS A TERRIBLE RATTLING IN MY DASHBOARD. I EVEN HAD THE GENERAL MANAGER RIDE WITH ME AND HE HEARD THE NOISE AND TOLD ME THAT WAS NORMAL. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER BRAND NEW VEHICLES AND WHEN THE A/C WAS ON, #1 YOU COULDN'T HEAR THE COMPRESSOR CONSTANTLY SHUTTING ON AND OFF AND #2 WHEN THE COMPRESSOR DID TURN ON, I DID NOT HEAR ANY RATTLING NOISE OR ANY NOISE FOR THAT MATTER. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND I HAVE NOT HEARD OTHER CARS DO THIS, ESPECIALLY A NEW VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHEN I HAD 4,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND I AM TIRED OF THE TREATMENT THEY ARE GIVING ME, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAVE HEARD THE NOISE THEMSELVES. I KNOW THAT I AM A FEMALE BUT I AM NOT SO IGNORANT TO ACTUALLY THINK THAT THIS IS NORMAL. | |
