1999 Isuzu Vehicross problems

“MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND DRIVERSIDE WINDOW HAVE NEVER WORKED RIGHT. SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BEING CHARGED SEVERAL TIMES THEY STILL DON'T WORK. AT WWW.VEHICROSS.INFO ALL THE OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ISUZU IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEIR DEALERSHIPS DO NOT SEEM TO EVER FIX THE PROBLEM NOR DO THEY HONOR IT AS A WARRANTY ISSUE. MYSELF ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER VEHICROSS OWNERS WOULD LIKE TO SEE ACTION TOWARDS IZUSU TO RESOLVE THEIR WINDOW ISSUE. *JB”

“I OWN A 1999 ISUZU VEHICROSS WITH 107,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS NEVER GIVEN TROUBLE UNTIL NOW. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN METICULOUS ABOUT OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES IF NOT SOONER. I HAD AN COMPLETE OIL CHANGE 2 WEEKS AGO. YESTERDAY SAW OIL LIGHT FLICKERING AND ADDED 2 QTS OIL IMMEDIATELY. DROVE A COUPLE BLOCKS AND SAW OIL LIGHT FLICKERING AGAIN. PULLED INTO GARAGE AND THEY SAID "BONE DRY"! ADDED 3.5 QTS OIL RIGHT THEN. DROVE LESS THAN 1 MILE ONTO EXPRESSWAY ENTRY RAMP- CAR STOPPED DEAD RIGHT THERE! - I COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN KILLED BY SEMI BEARING DOWN BEHIND ME AT 55 MPH. LUCKILY I ESCAPED WITH MY LIFE BUT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED ANYWHERE: ON THE EXPRESSWAY FOR EXAMPLE AND I WOULD TODAY BE DEAD. CAUSE: SEIZED ENGINE FROM LACK OF OIL. TWO WEEKS AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AND ONLY AN HOUR AFTER 5.5 QTS OIL HAD BEEN ADDED: BONE DRY AGAIN. I'M TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ISUZU OWNERS AND THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY MAKE. I TOLD ISUZU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST ME. COST OF NEW ENGINE TO ME: $5,500! I HAVE LOAN ON THIS CAR FOR $6,600 ALREADY AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE. THE CONSUMER IS AGAIN LEFT STRAPPED TO DEAL WITH THIS…”

“MY 1999 ISUZU VEHICROSS HAS HAD CRONIC ISSUES WITH THE WINDOWS GETTING STUCK 3/4'S WAY AND SOMETIMES 1/2 WAY. I'M SURE ISUZU KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WHEN I SAY THAT. ANYWAYS, THE OWNERS HERE NEED A PERMENANT REPLACMENT PART TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.”

“WINDOWS FAIL TO GO UP PROPERLY. DEALERS DENY PROBLEM OR JUST REPLACE REGULATORS & PROBLEM RECURS. MANY OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS & SOME HAVE HAD THEIRS IN SEVERAL TIMES. POORLY DESIGNED LIFT MECHANISM. ISUZU IS AWARE OF PROBLEM BUT DENIES. *AK”

“I PRESENTLY OWN A 1999 ISUZU VEHICROSS WITH 54K MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JAN.,2004. AFTER SIX MONTHS THE ELECTRIC PASSENGER WINDOW FAILED TO OPERATE(THE WINDOW ALWAYS RAN OFF TRACK SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL IT BY HAND TO CLOSE IT). THE DRIVER'S WINDOW IS ALSO BEGINING TO SHOW THE SAME SYMPTOMS. ISUZU IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINT AND THE PROBLEM IS WELL PUBLISIZED. THE VEHICROSS IS A LIMITED PRODUCTION VEHICLE(LESS THAN 5,000)BUT THE RATE OF FAILURES REPORTED IS EXTREMELY HIGH. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION INTO THIS FAILURE. I HAVE NOT SPENT ANY MONEY FOR REPAIRS YET BUT MAY BE FORCED TO SPEND AS MUCH AS 3 TO $400.00 PER WINDOW BECAUSE OF, WHAT I BELEIVE, IS A FACTORY DEFECT. AT THIS TIME ISUZU MAKES NO PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AND IS NOT COVERING ANY REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY.*AK”

“THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RANGE MODE SWITCH FAILED, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL AS THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE, AS FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION AS HIGHER SPEEDS IS NOT SAFE. ISUZU MOTORS OF AMERICA IS AWARE OF THIS AND HAS FAILED TO ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THE ISSUE.*AK”
