"I am an idiot for buying this truck"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

--Replaced the water pump at 60,000 miles

--Replaced the fuel pump at about 66,000

--Windshield wipers worked intermittently

--Wheel bearings and ABS sensor went out in the front

--Rough running/stumbling

--replaced brakes every 10k

--Emergency brake would not stop the truck from rolling back-wards

--over heated even after the water pump was replaced and the radiator flushed

--leaky radiator

--and the list goes on...

General comments?

This is the same truck as the Chevy S-10 and I am very disapointed at the level of quality the largest automaker in the world puts into its like a rock trucks.

It will take decades before I decide to buy another American car.

I feel like I have been made a fool of for buying this truck.

Stay away from American cars, they just don't work very long.

I didn't think Isuzu was an American car company.

Well, I think Joe Isuzu is an American, and since he owns the company...

Isuzu and Chevrolet have been together for a while with such lemons like the spectrum... but have done well lately with the well known SATURN...finally!!!

I had a 1984 Real "Isuzu pick-up" I am an idiot for selling it just because I got tired of the way it looked. Small story, that truck ran with out a working alternator for about 100 miles and that little truck did not stop till I stopped it. Don't be fooled by the crappy american made Chevy s-10 & now the new Colorado. The reliability of the true isuzu truck is gone forever.. how sad.

I bought a new Isuzu SpaceCab back in 1992. That was the best truck I've ever owned. 168,000 miles and the only thing that ever went wrong was the starter. Too bad some jerk rear ended it and totaled it. I just bought a 2000 Amigo for my kid, hope it is as good the SpaceCab was. Long live real Isuzu's. Someone told me Isuzu was the largest truck maker in the world... is this true?
