    New VX tonight - need help with 4 issues

    1) Lowered drivers side window during test drive and about 3/4 of the way down, it stopped completely (about 1/2 a second), made a loud pop noise, then continued down. When rolling back up, the tint had a 7" vertical scratch. Everytime rolling down the window it stops in the same spot and makes a loud noise. Coming up is smooth.

    2) Seems to be air leak at top left of drivers window.

    3) ABS light is on

    4) When pressing the brake pedal with vehicle running, it (the brake pedal inside the cab) makes a loud eeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr noise (NOT A clicking noise that activates abs) EVERYTIME I touch the pedal??? This is very irritating.

    Thanks in advance for any help....

    congrats on the purchase!

    window problems are pretty common.. do a search for SBC or street boutique customs

    he makes a bracket to help fix the windows... more than likely the tabs at the bottom of your window are broken... could fix the air leak too?

    ABS light is pretty common too.. occasionally a sensor.. more than likely the abs module under the hood is toast though.. costs about 2,500 from a dealership.. i picked up a used one from a wrecked VX for 100 (i think its the same as from a 4 wheel disk brake rodeo too).. pretty easy installation, took care of my problem, i did a write-up on how to replace the module if you search for it

    any other info on the brake problem? does it come from the calipers? the brake pedal itself? does it happen when you are moving or just when you are still?

    Regarding the brakes...with the vehicle off, pressing the brake pedal, it makes no noise (thought it might be a bushing - guess not).

    With the vehicle on in park, when pressing the pedal it makes the noise 30% of the time when pressing in and out. When in drive, it makes the noise 100% of the time but it sounds like it is coming from the pedal inside the cab. High pitched eeeeeeerrrrrrr (like Eeyore the blue donkey) It only make the noise when pushing the pedal in.

    The brake fluid res. is way overfilled btw. I see that can cause the ABS light to come on.

    The service records show veh serviced at 26K miles (for the 30K), and ABS was one thing that was checked (doesn't say if it was on at the time or not).

    Veh has 28K miles on it now.

    So what about the rodeo ABS module? Will it work?

    Welcome to the Forum...Johnny if you bought the VX below, and it's from a dealer it's a no brainer...Take it back and have them make it right. Enjoy it and most of all...DRIVE IT...

    I got the price low enough that I agreed to it as is knowing the issues. No gripes with them. I knew if it came down to it the abs module would be expensive; however, most of the Toyotas that have a light come on just need a wheel speed sensor. Should have read a bit more since it seems the Isuzu's need the abs module.

    I have a mechanic that owes me a huge favor, so I'm sure the noise from the pedal will be fixed this week. I'll have the abs light diagnosed IF it doesn't go away once I put the right amount of fluid in it (over full). As for the picture below, it appears I will just have to buy another piece, and then spend the $50 on the window fix-its plus a retint.

    Then I'm sure a seal will go out...lol : )

    Anyone got a drivers side power assy for sale?

    Took out the extra brake fluid. The whinning noise from the pedal went away for about 2 hours but has come back sporadically.

    Unhooked the battery after correcting the fluid level to see if the abs light would go away..........nice dice.
