This Problem Across All Years
I HAVE A 1993 ISUZU RODEO THAT STARTED LEAKING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL ONTO THE MANIFOLD. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS A VALVE COVER GASKET SEAL AND REPLACED IT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS COMING FROM THE REAR CAMSHAFT MOUNT/SEAL AREA. I LOOKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND THERE WAS, BECAUSE IT WAS SO UNUSUAL. TO MY SURPRISE THOUGH THE RECALL DOESN'T COVER MY VIN, ALTHOUGH IT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR. IS THERE ANY WAY TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THANKS. *JB

THIS COMPLAINT CONCERNS THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID #94V132000 WHICH IS FOR A RECALL ON 1993 ISUZU RODEOS. I CALLED AN ISUZU DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA AND TOLD THEM 1993 ISUZU RODEO IS HAVING THE PROBLEMS DESCRIBED BY THE RECALL. THEY SAID MY VIN # WAS NOT COVERED. HOWEVER, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL SUMMARY: CONSTANT EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION OF THE CYLINDER HEAD CAUSES THE CAMSHAFT SEAL END PLUG CAN BECOME DISLODGED FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD. THIS ALLOWS OIL TO LEAK FROM THE CAMSHAFT. OIL IS LEAKING FROM MY CAR AND HAS BEEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THIS HAS CAUSED ENGINE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. AND IT IS CAUSING OIL TO LEAK ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM, WHICH AS STATED IN THE RECALL CAN CAUSE AN ENGINE FIRE. I'M NOT SURE WHY MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL , BUT I'D LIKE TO FIND OUT SINCE MY CAR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY VIN # IS [XXX]. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT THE PHONE # OR E-MAIL ADDRESS LISTED. THANK YOU. *AK UPDATED 07/17/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

MY ENGINE JUST "DIED" IN AUGUST 2000. BEST CHEVROLET AND ISUZU IN HINGHAM MA SAID THAT I NEEDED A NEW OR REBUILT ENGINE. I HAVE TAKEN EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 1993. I DID NOT WANT A REBUILT AND VERY NICELY, BUT FIRMLY, ASKED THAT THEY COVER IT AND GIVE ME A BRAND NEW ENGINE, TO WHICH ISUZU CORP. AND THE DEALER AGREED IF I PAID FOR THE LABOR COSTS OF INSTALLING IT. I THOUGHT THIS SOUNDED FAIR AT THE TIME, SO I AGREED. I HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JULY 1994 AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED BY ISUZU CORPORATION OR THE DEALER! I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OF "WHITE SMOKE" BLOWING OUT THE EXHAUST ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE IT IN WRITING (FOR THE MECHANICS TO INVESTIGATE) ON ALL MY RECEIPTS. THIS PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED, YET THEY KEPT CHARGING ME FOR "LOOKING INTO IT" -- A $100. HERE, $200. THERE. I ALSO ASKED THEM TO SAVE THE OLD ENGINE AFTER THE BRAND NEW ONE WAS INSTALLED AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT AS THEY HAD TO "TURN IT IN." (I'VE SINCE LEARNED THIS VIOLATES MASS. LAW) AT THE TIME, I TOLD HIM THAT DOESN'T MAKE SINCE. WHY WOULD THEY HAVE TO TURN IN AN OLD, NON WORKING ENGINE TO GET A NEW ONE?!? MY BROTHER, ADAM HOOVER, WAS A WITNESS TO THIS CONVERSATION. ALSO, SINCE THEN, I'VE LEARNED THAT WHEN A REBUILT ENGINE IS PURCHASED, THE DEALER TURNS IN THE OLD ONE FOR THE "CORE." I PAID OVER $3500. SUPPOSEDLY FOR LABOR COSTS! I WAS BLATANTLY RIPPED OFF AND I WANT TO GET MY MONEY BACK. THIS VEHICLE STILL BLOWS WHITE SMOKE AND I FEEL IT'S A TICKING TIME BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF! I'M AFRAID THE ENGINE IS GOING TO BLOW AGAIN. THANKS.
