#2477 of 2500 Re: 2002 Axiom ABS Warning Light [vashtie] by sowrnew Mar 05, 2008 (6:35 pm)
Replying to: vashtie (Jun 19, 2007 3:47 am) A while back I had an ABS warning light that needed a new ABS controller, pretty darn pricey but free because still under warranty.
#2478 of 2500 axiom: squirly on the highway?? by carty1 Mar 10, 2008 (3:59 pm)
Hi, I have had my Axiom since Nov 03; it's an 03 XS 2wd. I have Kumho Solice tires, but otherwise exactly like from the factory. The thing is...at highway speeds it feels like I could lose control of the vehicle very easily (abrupt manuever, etc). It was this way with th stock tires too. I have tried switching the SPORT mode on and off, no difference. I am guessing it is due to the unconventional steering setup used by Isuzu. Other than this, it has been a great vehicle, and gets a combo of around 17 MPG which isn't toooo bad.   Does anyone else feel this way? Has anyone figured out a solution?

Replying to: carty1 (Mar 10, 2008 3:59 pm) I've got an '04 Axiom, and have not felt that it might go out of control. It's always felt very solid to me. I keep mine in Sport mode all the time. Replies to this message: jefftoz (Apr 03, 2008 12:20 pm)

Replying to: martine (Aug 18, 2007 4:32 pm) I am also somewhat a new owner of an '04 myself. Mine had 34,000 miles too! Out the door with the 100,000 warranty I paid 16,500. I am in Tampa and I thought I got a great deal. That next week though, the rear main seal went out so I was a little weary of my purchase, but after that fix no other problems. I also felt like I made a huge upgrade from my other vehicle.

Replying to: socalsteve (Mar 14, 2008 7:58 am) My 04 has been really sturdy and always felt safe. I have kept it in Sport mode more often than Comfort mode. But I feel a little out of control when on the highway and one morning with very little rain and great traction on the road, I spun out and smashed into a merging sign and ran into a ditch. The estimate was over 4,000!!  When I got it back (after driving rentals) I definately feel like it's "floating" now in either mode when it rains. I think I have been tramatized because I will have no problem doing 40 on the highway on a light sprinkle. I now feel top heavy, I may need to have the suspension checked just to be safe.
#2482 of 2500 Re: Anyone having brake pulsation from 02 Axiom [axguy] by jefftoz Apr 03, 2008 (12:26 pm)
Replying to: axguy (Oct 03, 2003 2:13 pm) I have an 04 and love the ability to change from sport to comfort (even though I don't feel much, the bounce feels the same) But what is this power button you speak of. Where would it be in my vehicle? Maybe they got rid of it for the 04 model.
#2483 of 2500 ABS light on by jefftoz Apr 03, 2008 (12:37 pm)
My 04 Axiom had the abs light come on while I was driving.I wanted to know what this may mean before I take it in. Several months before this light came on, I have sometimes smelled like something was burning or being "rubbed up" on when I would leave my vehicle like the tires. Maybe i'm crazy, but the light isn't something I cannot just leave without inspection. Can anyone help explain any of this?

#2485 of 2500 My 02 Axiom roundup by malsua Jul 27, 2008 (5:59 pm)
I've had this thing since June 03. I got it about 10k off sticker. I got the first oil change at 1500 miles. 3k miles every change since.   0-200 miles. Tranny light comes on. Tranny is shot. Turns out, I got a vehicle from a dealer who lost his medallion and used the vehicle I bought for a parts car, then sold it off to another dealer. Referb tranny never shifts like I would expect it to, but shrug.   10000-11000 miles. I had a number of spinouts going up hills under power. None of which are due to driving. I raced cars for years, I know tires. God forbid my wife was in this thing when the dangerously inferior GoodYear integrity tires let go on a 20% uphill grade. I replaced with Yokohamas Geolanders. On the vehicle today.   At 30000, front brakes are shot. Fixed that.   At 45k, the gas gauge went nutz. Then the tranny went nutz. Bucking and slamming.   Turns out, the yoke for the 4x4 needs lube regularly. I ask for it at the lube shop but it doesn't seem to happen. The truck has clunked from start/stop since pretty much new   At 50k, I got new front Yokos.   At 67k, something happened with the emission...I didn't have a code reader then but I suspect it was the dumb "small leak detected". they fixed it.   At 84k, the tranny was shot. Replaced that. Had a shot ignitor, whole lot of other stuff. I still haven't done the timing belt.   The new tranny is still fuxxored at 109k. It works most of the time, but will just NOT shift into OD randomly.   All this time, since about 60k, the rear shocks have been essentially shot. Well, they work...to amplify any shock on the road into 3x the amount of vehicle movement. I've considered replacing that..but..if I hit sport mode to close the blow-off valves it shuts that down.   July 2008- 108k miles. It still runs, rides like a piece of crap and never fails to start. This thing will probably go 300k miles...I'm just annoyed that I have to be the one to do it instead of some 17yo   So, I guess I should sum it all up.   If you have one of these and it works for you, great!. I have one, I put a hitch on it, it works. Mine gets 18.4 overall. Not that great, but better than others.   If you're thinking of buying one? Think again unless it's an offer you can't refuse.   It hasn't been a bad vehicle, but in a 5 year do-over...I wouldn't do it again.
#2486 of 2500 TOD warning light by deflar Sep 24, 2008 (7:02 am)
I have a 2002 Isuzu Axiom with 107K miles. Approx 2 mos. ago the Check TOD light started flashing intermittently. This happens infrequenty, but enough to be a concern. The truck has been maintained per manuf recommendation. I think I read somewhere that it could be a sensor wire that could be damaged. The tranny does not appear to be slipping. Any thoughts?
