1997 Isuzu Rodeo

I OWN A 1997 ISUZU RODEO. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY PRIVATE DRIVEWAY ON THE NIGHT OF OCTOBER 26, 2003. I EXITED THE VEHICLE CLOSING MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WHEN UNEXPECTEDLY THE ENTIRE BACK WINDSHIELD SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. THE GLASS WAS NOT FRACTURED OR BROKEN PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, NOR DID ANY OBJECT HIT THE WINDSHIELD IT JUST SHATTERED. THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE AND ISUZU FELT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM COST ME $527 TO REPLACE. QUITE A SET BACK FOR AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE STUDENT. I HAVE HAD MANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE, WHICH ISUZU WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY MOST INCLUDING THE WINDSHIELD WERE SAFETY HAZARDS AND HAD SOMEONE BEEN A PASSENGER IN THE BACK OF VEHICLE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. PLEASE HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS VEHICLE. *LA

BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGEERS AUTOMATIC WINDOWS HAVE BROKEN. THE MIDDLE CONSOLE IS BROKEN. THE HOOKS FOR THE BACK SEAT DO NOT LATCH THE SEAT AND THE SEAT FLIES FORWARD DURING BRAKING (A DISTRACTING HAZZARD). THE ENGINE MAKES A TICKING NOISE. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO GET TOO HOT. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO SMELL OF OIL EVEN AFTER SHORT TRIPS. THE BELTS MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS JUST STARTING - I JUST HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE STATION AND THE SERVICE MAN SAID HE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE TIME AFTER TIME,1997 ISUZU RODEO WHICH COSTING ME ABOUT 24000.00 DOLLARS WITH HIGH INTEREST,NOW PROBLEM WITH CRANK SHAFT STICKING OUT ABOUT 1 AND A HALF INCHES WHEN YOU MASH DOWN ON CLUTCH IN WHICH SERVICE MECHANICS SAY IT SHOULD NOT DO,AND THAT IT IS COMING OUT TOO MUCH. ABS LIGHT STAYS ON,TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE LIKE THE VALVES. CAN NOT PAY ON IT GOOD BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS SPENDING MONEY TO TRY TO KEEP IT RUNNING. PAYMENT OF 384.00 DOLLARS PER MONTH FOR 5 YEARS. PURCHASED FROM THOMSON GEORGIA JEEP AND DODGE DEALERSHIP. BURNING OUT ALTERNATORS WHICH COST ME OVER 180.00 DOLLARS TWICE,COUPLE OF STARTERS,PICK-UP SWITCH,REAR END SQUEAKING,CRANK AND CAM SENSORS. IT HAS BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER AND I DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO KEEP SPENDING ON REPAIRS AND TRY TO MAKE PAYMENTS. MAKES ME WONDER WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT,AND WHAT ITS HISTORY WAS. EVEN HAS FOUL FUME ODORS A LOT. *NLM

AS OF MY LAST TIRE ROTATION, MY TIRE SUPPLIER HAS REFUSED TO WORK ON THE CAR DUE TO THE FAILURE RATE OF THE THREADS ON THE LUGS AND THE RESULTANT FAILURE OF LUG NUTS AND THE LUGS AS WELL. THE SUPPLIER INITIALLY TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURES AND---REPLACING SEVERAL LUGS AND LUG NUTS. HOWEVER, I AM NOW BEING DEPRIVED OF MY FREE TIRE ROTATIONS UNDER THE TIRE PURCHASE AGREEMENT DUE TO THE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE LUGS. THIS FAILURE IS NO DOUBT UNDER REPORTED AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL BECAUSE SEVERAL OF THE STRESSED AND DAMAGED LUGS HAVE SNAPPED OFF WHILE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN. *JB

I WAS IN ANA ACCIDENT ON SEPT. 4, 2002. I COULD NOT STOP IN TIME FOR THE WRECK THAT HAPPENED 1/4 MILE IN FRONT OF US SO I PROCEEDED TO SLAM INTO THE REAR-END OF THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT INJURED THE SHERIF SAID THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT IT DID NOT! I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND THAT COULD HAVE SAVED MY LIFE BUT IT DID NOT WORK! THANK YOU FOR CARING ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE AND LETTING THEM FILL THIS FORM OUT.*AK
