What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 isuzu axiom. While acceletating from a stop and driving up a small incline, the vehicle stalled and the check engine and check transmission warning indicators illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle had difficulty shifting from first and second gears. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired as the contact wanted a second opinion. The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.
I have a 2002 isuzu axiom with 84,000 miles. The transmission is slipping. Apparently this is a defect that many, many owners are experiencing or have experienced. This defect needs to be recalled and fixed by the manufacturer not to mention other issues with the power windows, check engine lights, starter failing to start right away
Car was diagnosed code p0602 ECM programming error. Vehicle died in hwy in minutes, all lights suddenly came "on" check engine, transmission, reduced power and car is dead. Thanks god no cars around me on busy hwy. Paid $$$$ for towing.
Pcm or powertrain control module error. Obd2 code p0602. As a result was shut off vehicle's all power, all dash light icons were on suddenly. First ABS and then air bag, brake, battery, check engine etc. Vehicle was died in seconds right in the middle of busy highway I-80!! It was horrible. No problem was occurred before. Isuzu company has to be responsible for this. Full maintenance for this car was performed on time as required via isuzu axiom manual. I have all records. Several mechanics told me that all isuzus have a similar problem with powertrain control module.
2003 isuzu axiom 3.5l 6cyl engine. Intake manifold burns gaskets and leaks oil in the engine . Isuzu claims it may be the engine block but has no recalls for this problem. I had the gaskets replaced 4 times before I realized it was a more serious problem this problem causes severe smell of burning oil and causes vehicle to lose power. Engine light remains on.
About 1 1/2 yrs ago the check engine came on in my 04 axiom. I took to the shop and they said it was misfiring. I had the spark plugs replaced, and the problem was not fixed. We then replaced 2 of the coils, then the spark plugs again, with no luck. I have experienced loss of power when pulling out from a stop sign, resulting in several close calls for accidents. Throughout all of this I have also found oil spots behind my exhaust when the vehicle idles, and I go through almost 3 qts of oil a week! The engine has been knocking for well over a year, and while I've had 4 mechanics look at it , nobody has been able to solve this problem. I have to let the vehicle run for 10 minutes before driving to try and avoid the engine stalling, and I still have some problems with it stalling. This has become a very expensive and dangerous problem with no apparent end in sight. If I wasn't upside down on the loan I would have gotten rid of it by now. I have found many articles online regarding the oil consumption and engine stalling problems. I can't believe this vehicle has not been recalled.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 isuzu axiom. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds or when the vehicle was shifted into reverse, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and the rpms increased while the contact applied the brakes. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who replaced the spark plugs and cylinders. The failure continued. The failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 50,000. Updated 3/22/11 *cn the consumer stated the vehicle would lurch forward or backward several feet, until the RPM's decreased as the brake was applied. Also, the check engine light illuminated, due to a problem with the spark plugs. Updated 04/27/11
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 55mph in normal conditions, the check engine lamp illuminated. Seconds later, the contact smelled smoke and felt extreme heat coming from under the dashboard. The contact immediately pulled to the side of the road and evacuated all passengers. The vehicle was completely engulfed in flames within 20 seconds and burned to the ground. The police and fire departments immediately responded to extinguish the fire and afterward provided written reports. The fire chief's written report gave a mechanical engine failure as a possible cause of the fire. No prior problems with the vehicle were reported. There was a the federal safety agency recall # 05v466000, concerning the fuel pump. The recall information states that gasoline contaminated with silicone affected the fuel pump with tiny pin holes and could result in a fire. The contact is located one mile from one of the selected states mentioned and had purchased gas in one of the states. The insurance company inspected the vehicle and deemed it a total loss. The manufacturer was alerted of the incident.
Every since I bought the SUV it has been losing oil constantly there is no leaks and the dealer wants me to do numerous test that I have to pay for but this still not be able to tell me the problem. It also like others slips when raining outside and even worse when its snowing. Another reoccurrence is its accelerates to much when I press the gas it turned the corner and it accelerated nearly causing the vehicle to flip over. Now my check engine came on and a foul odor came out of no where im going to take it to the dealer tomorrow.
