Hello all,
This is my first real post on the forum since i've been here, nearly a year now. Just as most of you, i bought my 2001 VX used.... since it came out in 99 i had wanted always wanted one, and finally made the purchase last summer. I have had to have my transfer case replaced about a month after buying it. thankfully it was still covered under isuzu's warranty at the time. since then i have had a little "whirring" sound coming from the transfer case...wondering if that is normal or not?? another grief i have had with the vehicle is a loud screeching noise coming from the back tires after applying the brakes for any lentgh of time..especially going down hill....i have had the brakes cleaned and replaced. the noise went away for a month, but was back again when i was braking on a hill. the noise goes away after a while of driving under straight and level conditions, but comes back after braking. It has me really stressed. Also, one other little quirk about the VX i don't know is correct or not, is clanking sounds when shifting say from PARK to DRIVE..i could use some help with that because i would like to get it fixed if it isn't normal. I have have my transmission fluid flushed and changed. As some may already know, but just want to put forth something i learned after buying my 2001 VX is that the 10 year 120,000 mile powertrain warranty is good only to the original buyer of the 2001 VX vehicle, after that its only 5 years and 60,000 miles. Learned it straight from isuzu when i called after buying my VX. Its been the most enjoyable car i've owned thus far, and is my daily driver. i've put 19,000 miles on it so far in less than a year and the only thing major with it has been the transfer case. I have kept up with all the maintence needed and directed.
I look forward to comments and suggestions for my little "problems" Thanks!!
