Isuzu Rodeo Equipment Electrical Air Conditioner Safety Report | May 01, 2005
Reported on May 01, 2005
| I BOUGHT A 1999 ISUZU RODEO 4X4 FROM AUTO WEST HONDA AT THE ROSEVILLE AUTO MALL IN SACRAMENTO CA. I PURCHASED THIS CAR APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO WITHOUT A WARRANTY. I WAS DESPERATE FOR A CAR AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS NOT AFFORDABLE. THE ISUZU HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE A/C ABOUT A WEEK AFTER BUYING THE CAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE LOOKED AT IT FREE OF CHARGE. THEY FOUND THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN A HOSE AND IT WOULD COST $600 TO FIX. DO TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS NOT A DRIVING HAZARD THE REGULAR WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST. AFTER DRIVING THE ISUZU FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS THE FUEL GAGE MALFUNCTIONED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND WITH OTHER OWNERS OF ISUZU?S AND FOUND THAT THEY ALL HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THERE A/C AND FUEL GAUGES. I ALSO FOUND THAT THE SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK EASILY MALFUNCTIONS IN MANY OF THE RODEOS THOUGH AN ONLINE BLOG ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCES TO REPAIR. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANYTHING I COULD DO TO FIX MY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE ALWAYS GIVEN ME THE RUN AROUND WHEN I ASK QUESTIONS AND SO I GAVE UP. THEN MOMENTS AGO A FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT THIS WEB SITE THAT I CAN TRUST. *TR | |
