Example complaints
Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “I had the drivers side window mechanism (the regulator) fail within the first year. I had it later replaced by the dealer, only to fail again a couple of months later. I have given up getting it fixed again because it is not under warranty any more. This is a recurring problem that every other Vehicross owner I know of has.”
NHTSA complaint #10118612, filed 2005-04, 5,600 milesBrakes: “The contact owns a 2001 Isuzu Vehicross. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked when the anti-lock brake system indicator light was illuminated. The ABS light then began to illuminate intermittently. The vehicle was taken to two authorized dealerships where the contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced at his expense. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000. The current mileage was approximately 60,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10324514, filed 2010-04, 55,000 milesElectrical system: “In rapid succession I noticed the failure of my turn signals, my cruise control, my power windows and my electronically controlled automatic transmission (shifting from 1st to 2nd is rough). In researching this on the Vehicross. Info forums website, I read where other owners had the same problems and traced them to electrical wiring frayed when it passed through compartments within the vehicle.”
