What owners wrote

A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.

Passengers side window does not properly go all the way down or even all the way up. Contacted dealer. Dealers can not fix.

August 2001

The left and right side windows failed to roll up and down on their on. Driver tried to roll the windows up and failed to do so. Then, driver took vehicle to the dealer, and mechanic determined that the power motor needed to be replaced.

March 2005

The side windows on the vehicle do not roll up or down properly and get out of track. Owner anticipates that this could be dangerous because the windows cannot be used as a secondary exit if the door were to be stuck in an accident.

March 2005

For the third time my electric window has failed. Twice on the drivers side, and once on the passengers side. I personally know twenty or more other isuzu vehicross owners that have been having the same problem.

Reported at 4,000 miles, March 2005

Right power window started to malfunction, window glass going down and up misaligned. Emissions of strong fuel odor whenever the vehicle is parked and the engine turned off. This is a roughly 33k mile vehicle, and carefully maintained. The "isuzu rodeo sport safety recall concerning fuel systems" can be attributed to this same problem as they share the same/most mechanical features and factory equipments.
