1996 Isuzu Rodeo problems

“FOR THE 2ND TIME THE LUGS & STUDS ON THE ISUZU RODEO HAVE EITHER BROKEN/CRACKED OR STRIPPED WHEN A TIRE ROATION IS BEING PREFORMED. BOTH TIMES SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE MANUELLY TRIED TO REMOVE THE LUGS . AND AFTERWARDS TRIED TO TIGHTEN THE LUGS. AS A RESULT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE - SINCE THE STUDS ARE BUILT FROM THE INNER SIDE OUTWARD. NOW WITH SEVERAL LUGS STRIPPED AGAIN, I FEAR I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE AXLE AGAIN. *AK”

“MY EGR VALVE ON MY 96 ISUZU RODEO KEEPS GOING OUT. I HAVE WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND HE SAID THAT IN THE LAST YEAR HE HAS SOLD OVER 100 EGR VALVES FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THEM. I NEED TO KNOW WHY THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS DO TO IT BEING AN ONGOING PROBLEM CAUSING EXTREMELY BAD GAS USE. *JB”

“THESE ROTORS RUST AND FLAKE HORRIBLY AND CAUSE FAILURE OF THE BRAKES. MY SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE THAT IT WASNOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THESE ROTORS HAVE FAILED EVERY 2 YRS/ 20K MILES. I HAVE NEVER REPLACED ROTORS ON A VEHICLE, LET ALONE THAT OFTEN. THESE ROTORS NEED TO BE RECALLED THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY SERVICE PERSON AT COCHRAN AND BY ANOTHER MECHANIC WHICH SEVICES MY OTHER DAR THAT RODEO ROTORS HAVE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE. WHY ARENT THEY ON A RECALL LIST? THIS COSTS ME 6-800.00 DOLLARS AT EACH FAILURE!! I AM GRATEFUL IT DIDNT COST MY LIFE. THERE ARE NO SQUEELERS TO WARN / IN 10 MILES FROM WORK, MY BRAKES STATRED TO GRIND THEN GOT WORSE AND LOUDER AND THE PEDDLE GOT SOFTER AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STOP EVEN DRIVING SLOW AND DOWNSHIFTING. DANGEROUS/ VEHICLE WAS JUST INSPECTED BY DEALER 3MNTHS/3K MILES EARLIER IN JULY/NO BRAKE TROUBLE THEN/FAILURE 3MNTHS/3K MILES LATER.*AK”
