Isuzu Amigo — Recalls, Reliability, Specs & VIN Decoder

My 99 isuzu amigo was in a crash in 6/03 when a driver turned left at an intersection in front of my isuzu. Brakes were forcibly applied on the isuzu, but it didn't stop. A 16-mth old in the turning car was fatally injured & later died. Others were hurt & my isuzu was totaled. Isuzu sent me a note 7/03 that stated the brakes require longer than normal stopping distance & should be replaced. I researched & found isuzu knew of the defective brakes in 6/02, when they announced they were upgrading them. Neither isuzu nor ge capital (the financing company) ever notified me until the 7/03 note from isuzu. Instead of addressing this, and the risk i may be sued by the other cars driverge & their attorney is demanding i pay $18m on top of $11m they already got from my insurer. Ge ignores an agreement we reached in 2002 whendue to deceptive sales tactics by isuzus salesmanthey accepted a deposit stolen from me by the salesman & payments i made under duress as payment in full. This was reached when ge learned the dealership fired the salesman after they investigated and confirmed my report of the deceptive/faked contract. Per our agreement, ge was to send me the title & was to report the contract paid in full to credit bureaus. Ge reported full payment to the bureaus, but never sent me the title. By keeping the title, ge was able to misrepresent themselves as lienholder & got my insurer to pay theminstead of me$11m in funds & salvage for my isuzu. And now ge is demanding $18m from meall in spite of our 2002 agreement. I wrote ge & american isuzu motors advising that their negligence in the defective brakes killed a baby & injured others. I also requested reimbursement of $11m, vehicle replacement & damage costs. Ge & isuzu ignored my letter. Ge continues, with their attorney, pursuing me for $18m. Please recall 98/99 isuzus to prevent more people from being killed by the negligence of isuzu & ge.

Ea9999008, abs braking system malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to have no braking capability, and resulting in a crash. *ak.et.

Pulling into a parking space at low speed i put on the brakes and heard a grinding noise and the brakes failed. I crashed into a concrete wall, causing front-end damage to my car. The body damage was repaired (5/20-6/03/04) and the car was sent to the dealer to diagnose the problem. Dealer stated that they could not find a problem with the brakes (6/02-6/03). The body shop went to pick up the vehicle (6/04) and when the porter drove it to the front, the brakes failed and he crashed. The dealership called the isuzu engineers and were told to pull the master cylinder off. They said when they did that the piston was stuck to the booster causing and intermittent brake problem. Dealer made all repairs at their cost and called me to pick up the car on friday (6/11). I drove the car and on wednesday morning (6/16) the brakes failed and i called the dealer to pick up the car. The dealer rep called me on friday (6/18) and said that i had to replace my rear brakes because they were not isuzu parts (i had them done at another mechanic, not long ago) and also the abs module (which i replaced already at my cost on 6/07/02). The dealer said the car was working fine and returned it to me on friday (6/25). I did not actually take the car back until the following friday, because the dealer had scratched the door and needed to repair. I picked the car up on friday (07/02) and drove it home and parked it in my garage. On monday (07/05), i backed out of the garage and the brakes made the same grinding noise and failed to work. I pumped them until they stopped and then pulled back into the garage to park it and they failed a second time causing me to crash into the garage wall. I had a friend with me who witnessed everything and was somewhat sore after the accident. I called the dealer to pick up the car and the said they were having an isuzu engineer flow in to look at the car. That is where i stand so far, $1470.16 out of my pocket and i still don't have my car.*ak

I began experiencing braking problems about a year after i purchased the vehicle. When stopping suddenly, the vehicle had extending stopping distances. I had the brakes inspected and was told the brake pads were in good condition. I proceeded to search the internet for recalls and found a safety notice on the abs system. I brought my vehicle into a dealership for service and was told this notice did not pertain to my vehicle. Shortly after this, i was involved in an accident. The vehicle did not stop when i applied the brakes resulting in a collision with two other vehicles. Three months after the accident, i received a safety improvement campaign notice regarding my vehicle and the abs. *jb

The abs system in my truck engages at times when it should not and dramatically reduces stopping distance. On sept 6th this resulted in my crashing into a light pole causing some major damage.

The timing belt broke on the vehicle ruining the entire moto. The timing belt was a recall item and was replaced at around 20000 miles. The belt broke now at 70,000 miles. The vehicle has not been repaired in that it needs an entire motor at a cost of $4000. *nm

My isuzu amigo (1999 4wd) stopped dead in traffic while driving with a lot of traffic. I was scared to death and almost hit in multiple directions. The car would not start, would not move, and i had to have it towed on a flatbed truck. I was incredibly traumatized by this incident, and very nearly killed by the semi-truck directly behind me. After contacting multiple persons from isuzu motors, they assured me that this had happened in most of the engines they had put in this vehicle. They also told me that if i was the original owner, they would fix it, regardless of warrenty, but since i was the second owner, they would not help me at all. Since this was such a common problem, not to mention such a safety issue, i thought they would have been a little more helpful.*ak

Vehicle shut off without prior warning. Dealership was aware of problem. *ak

While driving vehicle stalled without warning, also could not control vehicle until turning it off,contacted dealer and dealer stated there was nothing they could do. *ak *slc

1998 isuzu amigo with 95000 miles had the oil pump shell out destroying the crank and block under normal driving conditions with clean oil and regular maintenance. *jb

Dt: the contact stated there was a knocking sound in the engine. The dealer has not inspected the vehicle to determine the cause of the problem. A local mechanic said the valves were knocking ,and it could possibly be the lifters. *ak

To start off i was never notified regarding the recall for the timing belt. I just happen to find it myself on the internet doing a search for recalls. I took the vehicle to isuzu and had 2 of the recalls fixed. (timing bet "belt kit" and rear axle "bolt kit") this was on feb, 5 2003 at 88803 miles. On april, 30 2004 at 101660 miles i was driving my husband to the airport and the car died at a turn. "in the middle of the road" numerous attempts to restart the car failed and it was towed to my mechanic. I was thought it may have been bad gas "water in the gas" due to the fact i had just filled up 15 miles prior. To sum it all up the mechanic had to replace the timing belt as it was in shreds. (part is still available if needed) now $226.00 + rental car out of my pocket to fix something that was supposed to be already fixed? I only drove 12,857 before it gave out and was told you shouldn't have to replace a timing belt but every 60,000 miles. . This seems to a serious problem with the 98 amigos and something needs to be done about it! Ps. Contacting isuzu customer relations tomorrow to discuss this matter as i feel i shouldn't have to pay for this.*skl

While driving 55 mph vehicle stalled. Consumer was unable to restart vehicle. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic could not duplicate the problem. *ak

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 isuzu amigo. The contact stated that the frame was corroded and began to deteriorate. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 12v306000 (suspension); however, the dealer could not complete the repairs due to excessive corrosion. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 isuzu amigo. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, the vehicle became very unstable. The contact discovered that the rear sway bars separated from the subframe of the vehicle. An independent mechanic stated that the subframe was severely rusted. The contact also stated that the rear passenger side strut also separated from the subframe due to severe rusting. The manufacturer was notified. The vin was unavailable. The failure mileage was 140,000.

Found out my vehicle has rear frame corrosion and track bar mount almost gone from rust. Was noticed when having tires changed. Saw recall and read customer letter online (never received notice of recall). Called isuzu customer service and was told recall no longer applies due to time. The letter says within one year of notification. If i wasn't notified shouldn't i still have a year to get this recall done?. Now i have a very unsafe vehicle that they refuse to repair for faulty manufacturing. How are we as consumers supposed to have a recall done within their time limit without being notified? What can we do and who do we need to contact to resolve this issue? This isn't the first complaint of lack of service for this recall. *tr

While on the internet i was searching for a dealer for my above listed car and discovered a recall dated last year for states with use of corrosive material in winter which includes nebraska but not listed on recall (which may be because very few isuzu cars were sold in this state in fact the dealer told me at time of sale i had one of two of 1999 amigos in state rod rodden dealership 84 & f now a kia dealership i called the customer service and spoke with a lady that told me there was nothing they could do because i missed the deadline (even thought i was not notified because i did not live in the listed states which included iowa and missouri but not nebraska although we use same materials for safety) she told me my vehicle was perfectly safe and when i asked if i could record that for future in if i am injured in a traffic accident because of this problem she hung up on me i then called back and the man asked my name when i told him he told me he could not talk to me because i may record the conversation and then he hung up on me. Great customer service! So now i am very concerned and have no place to turn but you. Closer dealership now 10 miles away. *tr

Hello i am the owner of a isuzu amigo i didn't know about the damage to the undercarriage until after i bought it. 10-7-2012 i brought it to my personal mechanic when i found the damage on 10-24-12. After that, i found out about the recall, and sent the car to a dealer, isuzu claims the recall has already been taken care of by the previous owner, and the excessive rust and damage is not covered by the recall. The dealership and my private mechanic say this car is not safe to drive, and the gas tank may fall out as a result of the rust damage, the transmission support is rusted badly and the brake lines are in bad shape as well. I was hoping they were going to just buy the car back from me as stated in the recall letter, i cant believe they say this damage is not covered. I know the car isn't new, but this rust is unbelievable. Before i knew about the recall, i had it looked at and was told, that even if the parts are available, there isn't enough good metal to weld the new parts in. And was advised not to drive it. I am hoping you may have some advice and guidance for me. I am stuck now with an unsafe car. That i would never be able to sell to someone else. Isuzu did admit to part of this excessive rust by honoring the first and second recalls, they have to realize there is more. I'm sure the dealer was instructed to only verify the parts listed in the recall and ignore the rest, as it is not covered , but out of concern for my safety they strongly suggested i have this car towed out of the lot. I guess the only way for isuzu to notice is if i drive this car until something breaks off, and i get into an accident. I cant afford another car right now. And i can't sell this one. Please help! *tr

Left side of frame rotted out causing control arm to fall off and differential to sway which put the vehicle in ditch. *kb

The rear frame of my amigo is completely rotted out making it unsafe to drive. I just purchase the truck in feb of 2011 and had brand new tires installed. That's when i was told by the mechanic that it was unsafe to drive. If this can't be fixed i'm out $4000 and don't have a safe car to drive. This was not a nice way to start my retirement. *tr

Contact was driving down a side road at 20mph when the contact heard a loud clunk and immediately lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle spun out of control and onto a curb where once stopped they were able to drive it into a parking lot but only in four wheel drive. Once inspected, it was determined that the rear part of the frame was so badly rusted that the rear driver side trailing arm and mount broke off the frame causing the rear axle to shift back in forth uncontrollably. When taken to a frame repair shop and state certified welder the frame and mounts were deemed beyond repairable and the vehicle completely unsafe to drive. Upon further inspection the rear frame was rusting out so bad that it was that it was no longer structurally sound. This is the same issue that isuzu recalled the 98-2002 rodeos in which were stationed in the nations salt belt. Many other owners are also having this same issue with the amigo's. This needs to be investigated as these vehicles in the salt belt are not safe to drive. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 isuzu amigo. While driving, the contact experienced difficulty controlling the vehicle.

The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 172,000.

1999 isuzu amigo. Consumer writes in regards to rear suspension lower link bracket corrosion recall notice. *smd the consumer is requesting that recall # 12v306000 be investigated and extended. The consumer stated she did not received the recall notice as confirmed by phone with customer support 08/13/13 acknowledging the notice was returned as undeliverable september 2012. Customer support first claimed to her husband, via phone on 08/13/13 that two notices were sent, but upon her calling that same day, customer support said only one notice was sent to owners. The consumer was informed, her vehicle was nine days past the july 31st deadline for the suspension check-up.

General maintenance update. The isuzu dealer has applied an anti-rust solvent to lower stabilizer arm brackets according to directions in the recall rememedy requirement. However, the entire length of the car frame is potted with large rust holes. I have had some of the reachable holes welded. I have had additional support brackets welded into the frame to strengthen the badly rotted axle and shock mount points. I have applied a rust encapsulation product to the interior of the entire length of the frame, and rust converter products to the exterior of the frame. This is my daily driver. A catastrophic frame failure is inevitable. But, it can be prevented. The auto manufacturer needs to have new frames available to amigo owners who wish to purchase them. Please keep me updated on this vehicle. *tr

While driving down the road at 30 mph, with three children ages 2, 8, and 11, in the vehicle the rear suspension gave out n broke thumping along the road, as my steering wheel veered to the right, yet my vehicle remained going straight without being able to be controlled. My mechanic was able to get the car the one mile to my home going at a speed of 5mp or less as there was no wheel control. After contacting isuzu regarding the rear suspension recall, even though i was the registered owner at time of recall i was never notified, isuzu had my vehicle towed to closest dealer where it was deemed irreparable, isuzu then took over a week to contact me regarding buying back my truck as a remedy to the problem, then requested a copy of my title, which i sent, then wanted a copy of my registration, which i sent, and now are asking for my bill of sale, which i gave the only copy of to the nysdmv, initially i was only told i needed my title, now needing extra documents, that i cannot furnish without extreme hassle, and also are very irresponsible, as they only have one contact number for all of north america, and only one representative answering the phone, the situation is very disheartening knowing me and my children could have died had the suspension let go 5 minutes prior when we were traveling at 60mph on the thruway, i need answers as they have recalled this part for faulty manufacturing yet are not doing anything to justify the problem. *tr

Hello, i took my 1999 isuzu amigo on august 18, 2012 to my mechanic that has been authorized by isuzu to diagnose the safety recall issued under the safety recall notice in july (nhtsa campaign id number: 12v306000). The inspection of the area specified under the recall disclosed very little rust and that the minimum service (classified by isuzu as condition 1) will apply. I was relieved and happy about the news. However, during the inspection, my mechanic noticed a significant rust issue with the rear interior bumper reinforcement (hidden underneath the exterior rubber rear bumper and only is visible when on a car lift). It was extremely rusted through and provided no protection to the amigo in the event of a rear collision. I instructed the mechanic to locate a replacement part and the replacement repair should be performed in a week. In talking to my mechanic, he has seen this frequently with isuzu amigos/rodeo sports, geo/chevy trackers, and suzuki vitaras (not the grand vitaras). It is the result of the salting of the roads (again, similar to the current isuzu amigo recall), and water accessing the area during the rain. I plan to have the new part rust proofed before having it installed to avoid this issue in the future. However, i believe this is an issue that should be looked into given it is a safety issue as it affects the rear bumper. I hope i provided enough information for you. *tr

Purchased a used 99 isuzu amigo v6 4x4, and the fuel gage is not reading correctly. When you fill up it will only read full for about 5 miles then it goes back and forth from empty flashing, to full. When you think it is almost empty and you go to fill it up you usually only get to put in 4-6 gallons then its full again...for the next 5 miles. By my calculations i am only getting 10 miles to the gallon, when i should be getting 17. *nm
