10/10 for Isuzu Cape Gate. Absolutely superb level of service. I considered selling my Isuzu due to the very poor level of service I received from Isuzu N1 City and Isuzu Paarl, time and again they let me down. But Whow I'm so impressed with Isuzu Cape Gate, they kept me up to date, daily with what's going one. Keep it up

Title: Isuzu refusing to honour known MU-X alignment issue – unsafe and unfair treatment I am extremely disappointed in the way Isuzu South Africa has handled an issue on my Isuzu MU-X. At approximately 40,000 km, I reported abnormal tyre wear and suspected alignment issues. Since then, I have had wheel alignments done multiple times in an effort to resolve the problem. Despite this, the two front tyres wore out prematurely and unevenly on the edges, while the rear tyres are still in good condition. This type of wear is not normal and clearly points to an alignment or suspension-related defect. Isuzu is now refusing to assist, claiming that wheel alignment should have been done every 7,500 km as part of warranty requirements. This was never communicated to me at any point, nor is it standard practice for normal vehicle use. If this is due to a known issue on these vehicles, then it raises serious concerns as to why customers are not informed upfront or why it is not addressed as part of routine servicing. Due to safety concerns for myself and my family, I had no choice but to replace the front tyres at my own cost. In addition to this, I have also reported: - A prematurely worn fan belt that is now screeching - An ABS issue where the system engages unexpectedly when braking after start-up Both of these concerns have not been properly attended to. I find it unacceptable that a known issue is being deflected back onto the customer, especially when it directly impacts safety. I am requesting reimbur*****t for the two front tyres, or alternatively that Isuzu addresses the outstanding issues and provides a service credit. If this matter is not resolved, I will escalate it further through the relevant consumer protection channels. I expected better from Isuzu.

They don't even deserve 1 star! I don't believe Isuzu SA cares and after reading the other reviews I see I should have checked BEFORE purchasing the vehicle. Almost 8 months of back and forth to one of the worst dealerships in Pietermaritzburg. The battery keeps draining flat and I keep buying new batteries but they never find the root cause and have just randomly made guesses on the problem. Now that I escalated to head Office, I am told via a call centre agent that I must monitor vehicle as I had an incorrect spec battery. The battery was not incorrect spec! I go from head Office then back to the *********** dealership team and now an After Sales Manager who never bothered to call or learn what the issue is. As we can see no response from Isuzu to our complaints so we waste our time complaining. Just don't buy the brand!!

Whatever you do – do NOT purchase an ISUZU and definitely not from their Midrand branch. We bought a brand new ISUZU X-RIDER 1.9 (close on R700 000) and have had nothing but ongoing trouble from day 1. It’s been a complete and utter disaster and disappointment from the outset. They have provided a ‘loan vehicle’ but why should we keep having to put up with that?? The current loan vehicle is inferior to what we purchased and there is absolutely no urgency in trying to fix our vehicle which has now been back 3 times!!! Nobody cares. Plus their stance is one of arrogance and complete indifference. Tomorrow’s another day …………
