1999 Isuzu Rodeo complaints

IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR MY VEHICLE (99' ISUZU RODEO 4CYL) WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BY KING ISUZU IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FL. UNDER THE RECALL CAMPAIGN#01I002000, THE TIMING BELT AND TENSIONER FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START, ALSO THE VALVES AND PISTONS WERE DAMAGED. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT HERE IT IS, ABOUT SIX MONTHS LATER AND 15,000 MILES MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAPPENING AGAIN AND ISUZU REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MARK SMITH (SERVICE REP.) FOR ISUZU ADVISED ME THAT THE PARTS THEY REPLACED WERE ONLY WARRANT FOR 12,000 MILES, BUT I FEEL LIKE IF THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED THEN MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPAIRED. *JB

BAD SENDING UNIT ON 1999 ISUZU RODEO LS. LEAVING ME NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL I ACTUALLY HAVE AND CAUSED VEHICLE TO DIE OUT WHILE DRIVING. *NLM

THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2003 MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO BEGAN MAKING UNUSUAL SOUNDS FROM INSIDE THE HOOD AND THE ABS LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. UPON LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD, I DISCOVERED THE BRAKE MODULE WAS RUNNING DESPITE TURNING THE CAR OFF AND REMOVING THE KEY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE MODULE FROM RUNNING WAS TO REMOVE THE NEGATIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE CREST ISUZU DEALERSHIP IN PLANO, TEXAS AND SPOKE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN'S FIRST RESPONSE WAS THAT I MAY QUALIFY FOR A FREE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THERE WAS A "MANUFACTURER'S INSTALLATION PROBLEM" ON SOME OF THE RODEOS COMING FROM CERTAIN PLANTS. I GAVE HIM MY VIN NUMBER AND HE CAME BACK AND TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE LIST. I FOUND IT ODD THAT ISUZU WOULD RECOGNIZE THAT SOME PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE, BUT NOT RESPOND TO MINE. MY NEXT STEP WAS TO CONTACT THE OWNER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT OF AMERICAN ISUZU MOTORS, INC. I INITIALLY SPOKE WITH DON WHO INFORMED ME THAT IN JULY, ISUZU WAS LAUNCHING A CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE ALL BRAKE MODULES IN 1999 ISUZU RODEOS. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A SAFETY UPGRADE AND DID NOT MEAN THAT THE PART HAD ANY PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF MY MODULE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT YET JULY. I AM BEING TOLD TWO SEPARATE STORIES FROM ISUZU EMPLOYEES. I NEED A WRITTEN RESPONSE FROM ISUZU EXPLAINING HOW MY DEFECTIVE BRAKE MODULE IS NOT RELATED TO THE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE ALL BRAKE MODULES IN JULY. I DON'T THINK ISUZU WANTS TO BE RESPON

I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF SOME RECALLS ON MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO. I AM HAVING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALLS. MY ABS BRAKE LIGHT IS GOING ON AND OFF AND I AM HAVING SOME TROUBLE STOPPING. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON AND WHEN SITTING STILL THE CAR ACTS AS THOUGH IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF. IT IS RUNNING REALLY HARD WHEN I COME TO A STOP. I BELIEVE THAT THESE HAVE TO DO WITH THE RECALL. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING IS MY GAS GAUGE IS NOT REGISTERING HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR AND THE GAS LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. I KNOW THAT IT IS FULL BECAUSE THE GAS PUMP STOPS. *NLM

I HAVE 1999 ISUZU RODEO. I GOT THE ABS KEEP RUNNING AND GOT A LIGHT ON PROBLEM RECENTLY AND I GOT THE ABS DIAGNOSTIC AT DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAVE ABS SHORT AND NEED TO REPLACE ABS MODULE. I CHECKED THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND FOUND ABS RECALL STARTING 1998 MODEL. I ALREADY HAVE THREE ACCIDENTS FROM EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES BEFORE. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET MINE TO GET THE RECALL SERVICE? *NLM

GOT OIL CHANGE 3 WEEKS AGO......WENT TO CHECK OIL LEVEL........AND ENGINE WAS DRY. *NLM

ABS INDICATOR ASSOCIATED WITH WIRE HARNESS. THIS PROBLEM WAS ASSOCIATED WITH 1998 MODELS AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED FOR 1999 MODELS TOO. ABS MODULE NEEDING REPLACING AT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES. ALSO EXPERIENCE DELAY OR LAPSE TIME FOR VEHICLE TO STOP.

WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AT ABOUT 65,000 MILES, THE GASOLINE INDICATOR DID NOT WORK. I HAD TO HAVE THE SENDING UNIT REPLACED, AT A TOTAL COST OF OVER $500. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT THIS STAGE IN THE VEHICLE'S LIFE. I HAD THOUGHT TO JUST USE THE TRIP ODOMETER, UNTIL I RAN OUT OF GAS TWO TIMES - NOT A GOOD SITUATION FOR A WOMAN ALONE. *NLM

THE ODOMETER FAILED. THE DEALER R WAS NOTIFIED AND THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED BUT IT REOCCURED. *NLM

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *NLM

IN AUGUST OF 2002 , I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 RODEO THAT I HAD LEASED NEW IN 2002 AND THIS RUNNING NOISE CONTINUED AFTER I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. IT WAS THE ABS MODULE. IT HAD TO BE UNPLUGGED TO KEEP THE BATTERY FROM BEING RUN DOWN. THE REPAIR IS ABOUT $500.00 AND ISUZU WANTS TO IGNORE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPONENT. BEFORE THE NOISE STARTED,THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS VERY LONG AND THERE WAS A POPPING FEELING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD "NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT WAS THE WAY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FELT" THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. ALL OF THIS STARTED WITH 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE RODEO THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECALLED BY ISUZU WITHOUT THE COST OF LIFE OR MONEY TO THE CONSUMER. *JB

WHEN I TRY TO STOP MY 99 RODEO ABOUT 1 OUT OF 5 TIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL PULSATE VERY FAST ACCOMPANIED BY A SOUND (LIKE A QUIET MACHINE GUN) COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS IS THE ABS KICKING IN. DEALER SAYS I'M NOT COVERED. HAVE CONTACTED ISUZU BUT ONLY GET ANSWERING MACHINE. READING ON AN ISUZU FORUM (NOT SPONSORED BY ISUZU), THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH RODEO'S THAT ISUZU DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS IF YOUR OUT OF WARRANTY. MY 99 HAS 29,000 MILES ON IT BUT IT IS OVER 3 YEARS. I BOUGHT IT NEW. *JB

THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *NLM

THE VEHICLE WENT AIRBORNE AND LANDED ON THE FRONT END AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.*JB

BRAKES WON'T ENGAGE TILL FOOT IS HAVE WAY TO THE FLOOR. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. PH

I HAVE A 99 ISUZU RODEO WITH ABOUT 37,500 MILES. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO (EARLY JANUARY 2003), I STARTED UP THE RODEO AND HEARD A VERY LOUD SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, WHICH CONTINUED EVEN WHEN I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVED THE KEYS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SOUND WAS TO UNPLUG THE ABS FUSE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE ABS CONTROL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED (ABOUT A $500 REPAIR.) FROM MY INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH MID- TO LATE-90S RODEOS.

1999 ISUZU RODEO 6 DISC CD CHANGER NON-FUNCTIONAL. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 6 NEW CD'S STUCK IN THE UNIT. ISUZU REFUSES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED 3 WEEKS AGO. ISUZU WANTS $300 TO SEND THE CHANGER OFF TO HAVE CD'S REMOVED. ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP, THIS HAPPENS TWICE A MONTH.

OEM TIRES WEAR OUT QUICKLY, MY WIFE AND I OWNED 2 OF THESE VEHICLES. ONE WITH YOKOHAMAS ONE WITH GOODYEARS. UNEVEN TREAD WEAR RESULTIN IN TIRE CUPPING AND VERY ROUGH RIDE. HER RODEO WAS A LS 4WD MINE IS A 2WD BASE MODEL. I LOOK AT TIRES ON OTHER RODEOS I COME ACROSS IN PARKING LOTS AND ALL SHOW SIGNS OF UNEVEN WEAR. ALSO ABS SYSTEM IS JUNK. ANY STOP NOT EXECUTED ON EVEN LEVEL PAVEMENT RESULTS IN LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND VERY LONG BRAKING DISTANCES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND I CONSIDER IT VERY DANGEROUS. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE "COMPUTER" GETS CONFUSED AND RESETS DURING ANYTHING OTHER THAN IDEAL BRAKING CONDITIONS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FURTHER! MY BRAKES JUST FAILED THE OTHER DAY AS I WAS BACKING UP AND I HIT ANOTHER CAR. DT

ABS FAILURE DESIGN PROBLEM. EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE ESPECIALLY ON WET OR BUMPY SURFACES. THE ABS SYSTEM SEEMS TO DISENGAGE ANY SIGNIFICANT BRAKING EFFECT. THIS HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, NOTHING APPEARS TO HELP THE BRAKES ENGAGE IN A NORMAL FASHION. THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A DESIGN PROBLEM DESPITE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS AND A RECALL ON 1998 VEHICLES THAT THEY WILL NOT APPLY TO MY 1999 MODEL. THIS IS NOT A MATTER THAT CAN BE RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THEIR DEALER WITHOUT OUTSIDE INTERVENTION. THE PROBLEM IS SERIOUS AND IS ENDANGERING MY FAMILY. THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS DRASTICALLY INCREASED WITH THIS SYSTEM. I WOULD FEEL MUCH SAFER IF THE SYSTEM COULD BE PERMANENTLY DISENGAGED, SO I COULD STOP IN AN EMERGENCY. DT

WHEN DRIVING ON BUMPY ROADS OR IN WET CONDITIONS ABS BRAKES INGAGE UNNECESSERALLY CAUSING INCREASED VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THREE OCCASIONS SCARYING THE HELL OUT OF ME. ON APPROACHING A T-JUNCTION IN WET CONDITIONS, I APPLIED THE BRAKES IN NORMAL FASHION AND A LOUD JUDDERING NOISE WAS HEARD. BRAKE PEDAL WENT SOFT, VEHICLE LURCHED FWD AND FINALLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING OTHERWISE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. I HAVE DISCONNECTED THE ABS SINCE AS THE VEHICLE IS UNCONTROLLABLE IN THESE SITUATIONS. DT

CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING THE ABS PUMP FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER NOTIFIED. MR *TT *JB

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WHEN BRAKING OVER ROUGH TERRAIN, PINE CONES, POT HOLES, ETC. THE BRAKES RELEASE AND RECATCH WITH THE PEDAL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. DT

WHEN TURNING OFF ENGINE, CONSUMER STATES' ABS PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN. CONSUMER HAS TO DISCONNECT PUMP IN ORDER FOR PUMP TO STOP RUNNING. TOOK TO DEALER AND THE DEALER DISCONNECTED THE ABS MODULATOR. NOW THE ABS LIGHT IS ON. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. MR

CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO APPLY BRAKES, HOWEVER VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND JUMPED OVER A CURB INTO A PRIVATE YARD THROUGH A FENCE AND HIT A POLE.MR *TT *JB. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON A SIDE STREET AND HE APPLY HIS BRAKES RPM WENT UP 7000. AND HIS VEHICLE WOULD'NT STOP THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE AND SHAKE. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

MR

EA 99 000/BRAKING SYSTEM-ABS:CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE ABS MOTOR WOULD REMAIN ON AFTER SWITCHING OFF THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE TO DEACTIVATE THE ABS MOTOR. DEALER CONTACTED. NLM

ORIGINAL AC COMPRESSOR FAILED IN DEC 2000 AT 35,000 MILES AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. REPLACEMENT AC COMPRESSOR FAILED IN SEP 2000 AFTER APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES. AMERICAN ISUZU AND ITS LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THE AC COMPRESSOR TO FAIL AT 35,000 MILES. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME THAT AC COMPRESSOR FAILURE AT 35,000 IS NOT NORMAL. FURTHERMORE I WAS TOLD THAT OTHER PARTS BESIDES THE COMPRESSOR SHOULD BE CHANGE AFTER A COMPRESSOR FAILURE TO ENSURE THE REPLACEMENT COMPRESSOR DOES NOT FAIL PREMATURELY. MR

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

WHEN VEHICLE IS "WARM" AND IDLING CLUTCH WILL CONTINOUSLY SLIP. CLUTCH WAS REPLACED IN 01/02, AND PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN AFTER 2,000 MILES. CONSUMER VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IN TRAFFIC.*AK

THE CATALIC CONVERTER, UPSTREAM VALUE,ERG VALUE AND A GASKET WAS COMPLETELY BURN OUT BY ONE OF THE OTHER COMPONETS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FAIL TO APPEAR. THE ONLY NOTICE THAT I HAD WAS THE JERKING OF THE CAR AND AT THIS TIME I WAS NOT GETTING ANY PULL FROM THE ENGINE. THE FASTEST THAT I COULD GO WAS ONLY 30 MPH. I ASSUME THAT I HAD GOTTEN SOME BAD GAS. MY CAR JUST DIED ON ME WHILE TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE AUTO SHOP, AND AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT APPEAR.*AK

ABS BRAKES LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ALSO, HAD TO UNPLUG FUSE DUE TO THE FACT IT WAS DRAINNIG THE BATTERY. BRAKES WERE INOPERATIVE.*AK

WHEN CAR WAS FIRST PURCHASED, BRAKES WOULD OCCASIONALLY STICK RESTRICTING CAR TO 35 MPH ON HIGHWAY. DEALER SUGGESTED LETTING BRAKES "WEAR" IN. PROBLEM CONTINUED OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS, WE LEARNED TO PULL THE BRAKE PEDAL UP TO RELEASE WHEN STUCK. IN MARCH OF 2002 THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A SHORTED WIRE AND FIXED IT. ON 7/10/02 WIFE APPLIED BRAKES WHILE ENTERING ON RAMP TO HIGHWAY, CAR WENT INTO A 540 DEG SPIN, NO ACCIDENT OCCURED. THE NEXT MORNING, ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND ABS UNIT CONTINUALLY MADE NOISE EVEN WHEN KEY WAS REMOVED FROM IGNITION. DEALER WAS CALLED I TOLD THEM "MY WIFES RODEO IS MAKING A RUNNING NOISE LIKE A FAN WITH THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION" DEALER (SANDY IN SVC)SAID INSTANTLY "OH, THATS THE ABS UNIT, I USUALLY RECOMMEND PULLING THE ABS FUSE OR IT MAY DRAIN THE BATTERY". THE NEXT DAY I CALLED TO TALK TO SVC MGR (JOHN MICHAEL), I SAID "WIFES RODEO WAS MAKING A NOISE, LIKE A FAN RUNNING, WITHOUT KEY IN IGNITION" JOHN QUICKLY INTERJECTED "AND THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON". IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT ISUZU SEEMS TO BE IGNORING AT THE COST OF CONSUMERS, POSSIBLY THE COST OF SOMEONES SAFETY. WE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $250-$500 REPAIR BILL (3 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY). I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS NUMEROUS REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED ON RODEOS ABS FAILURES.*AK

CONSUMER STATES SHE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND HEARD A STRANGE NOISE, AFTER OPENING THE HOOD, CONSUMER FOUND THE ABS MODULE WAS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AND WAS CONSTANTY RUNNING, THE ABS LIGHT DID ILLUMINATE, THE DEALER PULLED THE ABS FUSE AND STATED THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDED REPLACED. *SLC

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE AUGUST 1999. AT VARIOUS TIMES FOR NO RHYME OR REASON THE VEHICLE SURGES AND I HAVE HAD TO USE 2 FEET TO TRY AND STOP THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AS WELL AS OTHERS TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM. THEY EVEN CALLED ISUZU TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE IT AND THEY COULDNT DO IT BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT IT WASNT. IT CONTINUES TO DO IT. ON JUNE 16 I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, IT SURGED AND I HIT A PICK UP TRUCK IN THE REAR. HE HAD NO DAMAGE BUT I DID. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ( MAROON ISUZU) AND THE NEW SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO START FROM SQUARE ONE AGAIN EVEN IF THOUGH I HAD ALL THE INVOICES OF SERVICES PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE. HE HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS AND TOLD ME HE COULDNT FIND THE PROBLEM. I ASKED HIM IF HIS WIFE OR DAUGHTER WAS IN THIS CAR WHAT WOULD HE DO? HE SAID I WOULD SELL THE CAR, AND GIVE THE PROBLEM TO SOMEONE ELSE. I YELLED AT HIM SAYING THAT ISNT SOLVING THE PROBLEM, AND I WOULDNT DO THAT TO A UNSUSPECTING SOLE, HE SAID WELL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS BRING IT IN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER ( CERAMI, IN PARAMUS, NJ). THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULDNT TOUCH THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE FROMT BUMPER AND RADIATOR WAS FIXED. I HAVE SINCE CALLED ISUZU AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOTE IT IN THEIR RECORDS. THATS IT? HE SAID YES. I NEED HELP DESPERATELY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU. THANK YOU DEBBIE LIGIERI. *AK

I HAD A NARROW ESCAPE TODAY, WHEN THE ABS UNIT ON MY CAR STARTED BELLOWING SMOKE; I WAS LUCKY THAT THE CAR DID NOT CATCH FIRE!! HAD TO CALL THE "FIRE DEPT.,JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS OKAY. AM HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. AM VERY FRUSTATED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO A 2.5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE!! I AM APPALLED THAT ISUZU HAS NOT YET SENT OUT A NOTICE TO OWNERS REGDS., THIS PROBLEM; THE ABS ON MY ISUZU OVERHEADED AND NEARLY SET THE WHOLE VEHICLE ON FIRE, ENDAGERING LIVES. I WAS NOT EVEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

TIMING BELT BROKE(RECALL 01I002), THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING AND THE VALVES WERE BENT. CONSUMER IS ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE RENTAL CAR ACQUIRED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REPAIRS AND FOR THE MONIES SPENT FOR SCOTTS AUTO SHOP. *JG

THE ABS MODULE CAME ON FOR NO REASON UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND STAYED ON, EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED. UNPLUGGING THE POWER TO THE ABS MODULE WAS REQUIRED TO PREVENT IT RUNNING UNTIL OVERHEATING AND MELTING OR SOMETHING ELSE BAD. *AK

VEHICLE IDLES VERY FAST, STALLS AT SLOW SPEEDS, THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT LEAST 10 TIMES, DEALER HAS REPROGRAMMED PCM. DID NOT REMEDY PROBLEM.*AKJG

CAR HAS A ROTTEN EGG SMELL. TECH SAID TO USE LOW GRADE GAS INSTEAD OF HIGH GRADE GAS & THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE. THE CAR STILL HAS A ROTTEN EGG SMELL. THE CAR STARTS TO PING AFTER 2,500 MILES AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE. AFTER ADDING A HALF QUART OF OIL THE CAR STOPS PINGING. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 3,000 MILES AS RECOMMENDED. THE CAR ON OVER 20 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF MOST TIMES THIS OCCURS WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. ONE TIME MY HUSBAND, TWO CHILDREN AND MYSELF WERE IN THE CAR DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL AT A PARK AT A SLOW SPEED & THE CAR SHUT OFF. FORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO THESE ISSUES. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO BE ADDING OIL TO A NEW CAR EVERY 2,500 MILES AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT IS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO TAP WHEN THE OIL IS LOW AND THAT MY CAR IS NOT OUT OF OIL IT IS ONLY A QUART SHORT WHEN THE TAPPING BEGINS. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALLING AND THEREFOR TELL ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF MY OTHER CARS. I LEASED A NEW CAR SO THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND HAVING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE ALL OF THE TIME.*AK

GAS READER IS READING INCORRECTLY. *AK. CONSUMER STATES DEALER TOLD HIM THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES ALREADY, SOMETHING TO DO WITH INSTRUMENTS INSIDE THE FUEL TANK/NOT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGE. NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN TANK NOW? CONSUMER IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY. *YD

CONSUMER STATES THAT THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ANTILOCK BRAKES AND ARE UNABLE TO STOP. NLM CONSUMER ADDS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT IS ON AND FOUND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SENSOR HAD FAILED. VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, #1 CYLINDER COIL, PCM RELAY AND CRANK SENSOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED. *TT

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK
