Crash test ratings
NHTSA NCAP crash test ratings
New Car Assessment ProgramNCAP crash tests measure how well a vehicle protects occupants in controlled frontal crash, side crash, and rollover scenarios. Stars are awarded per category (5 = safest). These laboratory results are independent of owner complaints and are performed by NHTSA engineers on new production vehicles.
NCAP crash test ratings for this model are not yet loaded or this vehicle was not tested in the years analyzed. NHTSA tests a subset of new vehicles each year. Check nhtsa.gov/ratings directly for the latest results.

RIGHT POWER WINDOW STARTED TO MALFUNCTION, WINDOW GLASS GOING DOWN AND UP MISALIGNED. EMISSIONS OF STRONG FUEL ODOR WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THIS IS A ROUGHLY 33K MILE VEHICLE, AND CAREFULLY MAINTAINED. THE "ISUZU RODEO SPORT SAFETY RECALL CONCERNING FUEL SYSTEMS" CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THIS SAME PROBLEM AS THEY SHARE THE SAME/MOST MECHANICAL FEATURES AND FACTORY EQUIPMENTS. *TR
IN RAPID SUCCESSION I NOTICED THE FAILURE OF MY TURN SIGNALS, MY CRUISE CONTROL, MY POWER WINDOWS AND MY ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND IS ROUGH). IN RESEARCHING THIS ON THE VEHICROSS. INFO FORUMS WEBSITE, I READ WHERE OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND TRACED THEM TO ELECTRICAL WIRING FRAYED WHEN IT PASSED THROUGH COMPARTMENTS WITHIN THE VEHICLE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 ISUZU VEHICROSS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE ABS LIGHT THEN BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIPS WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT HIS EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.
DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SLOWS, TILTS FORWARD, AND WILL NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. *JB
I OWN TWO 2001 ISUZU VEHICROSS'S. I BOUGHT THEM USED 1 AND 2 YEARS AGO, RESPECTIVELY. MY FIRST ONE WAS PURCHASED WITH 11,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE SECOND ONE WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT. UPON PURCHASE OF MY FIRST ONE, THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM ON BOTH SIDES HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE TRACK ALIGNMENT. I'M SEEING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH MY SECOND VEHICROSS AS WELL. MY FIRST VEHICROSS WAS FIXED BY A DEALER, UNDER WARRANTY, ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT, THE ISSUE AGAIN PRESENTED ITSELF, AND I HAD TO PAY OVER $600 TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED. EVEN THEN, THE ISSUE REAPPEARED AFTER ONLY A FEW MONTHS. MY SECOND VEHICROSS HAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUES WITH THE WINDOW BINDING, AND TRACK MISALIGNMENT, CAUSING THE MOTORS TO WEAR. UPON COMING IN CONTACT WITH AN ORGANIZATION OF SEVERAL HUNDRED VEHICROSS ENTHUSIASTS I DISCOVERED THAT THIS TYPE OF WINDOW FAILURE IS EPIDEMIC WITH THIS MODEL CAR. SOME OF THE OWNERS HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES -- I.E., THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN FIXED ONLY TO FAIL AGAIN, SOMETIMES THREE OR FOUR TIMES. I HAVE CONTACTED ISUZU BUT THEY DENY THERE IS A PROBLEM. ON THE OTHER HAND I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS BY ISUZU THAT DO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM. SINCE THERE WAS A LIMITED DISTRIBUTION OF THIS PARTICULAR MODEL CAR -- SOMEWHERE IN THE AREA OF 4000 PLUS OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD -- IT APPEARS THE WINDOW FAILURE RATE IS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THAT TOTAL NUMBER. I WOULD ASK THAT THE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING INVESTIGATION OF THE INTERNAL ISUZU DOCUMENT MENTIONED ABOVE. IF THERE IS, AS IT APPEARS, A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WINDOW MECHANISM, THEN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF VEHICROSS OWNERS WHO HAVE IMPROPERLY BEEN CHARGED TO REPAIR IT, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES. *JB
I OWN A 2001 ISUZU VEHICROSS AND WOULD LIKE ISUZU TO OWN UP TO A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE HAD THIS FIXED 3 TIMES WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM COMES RIGHT BACK SOON AFTER THEY REPLACE THE "WINDOW REGULATOR". AT THE MOMENT BOTH OF MY WINDOWS ARE UNABLE TO ROLL UP WITHOUT MY ASSISTANCE. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE COLD OF ALASKA AS IF I NEED TO ROLL MY PASSENGER WINDOW DOWN I NEED TO LEAN INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT IN ORDER TO ROLL IT UP AND I FIND MYSELF DOING THIS AT UNWANTED/UNSAFE TIMES DUE TO THE COLD. ALSO IF A FRIEND IS IN THE CAR THEY TEND TO SMASH THEIR FINGERS IN THE WINDOW WHEN PULLING IT UP. I AM SICK OF ISUZU SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.... IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW AS EVERY VEHICROSS I HAVE EVER SEEN HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!!!!! AND AS FOR THE INCIDENT DATE THIS HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES (SINCE DATE I SAID WAS THE INCIDENT) SO THERE IS NOT JUST A SINGLE INCIDENT. *JB

BOTH POWER WINDOWS FAILED WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER. WINDOW WOULD JAM AND COME OUT OF THE TRACK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RAISE FROM A DOWN POSSITION.
THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE WINDOWS FAILED TO ROLL UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN. THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT BOTH WINDOWS FELL OFF TRACK, AND THE DRIVER TRIED TO PULL UP THE WINDOWS BUT FAILED TO DO SO. THE CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE WINDOW NEEDED REPLACEMENT. *AK THE SEAT BELT DID NOT RETRACT AND THE CHROME WHEELS WERE PEELING AND WERE REPLACED. *SC *JB
I HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MECHANISM (THE REGULATOR) FAIL WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR. I HAD IT LATER REPLACED BY THE DEALER, ONLY TO FAIL AGAIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER. I HAVE GIVEN UP GETTING IT FIXED AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT EVERY OTHER VEHICROSS OWNER I KNOW OF HAS.*AK
I OWN A 2001 VEHICROSS BY ISUZU. I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2001. ABOUT A YEAR AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE TRACK ALIGNMENT. THE DEALER FIXED IT, BUT I HAVE SINCE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND DEALER WANTED $800 TO FIX IT. CURRENTLY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS SHOWING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I HAVE TO HELP IT BY PULLING ON THE WINDOW WHEN I AM RAISING IT. ONLY 4000 OF THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED AND A LARGE PORTION OF THEM HAVE THIS WINDOW PROBLEM.*AK
(1) APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AFTER THE CAR WAS FIRST DELIVERED NEW, THE POWER WINDOWS BEGAN TO FAIL. THE WINDOWS BEGAN TO RISE SLOWLY WITH THE WINDOW BECOMING CROOKED IN THE TRACK. (2) (A) FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED 9/30/03. WINDOW CEASED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY; OFF THE TRACK AND RISING CROOKED. (B) SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED 10/14/03. WINDOW BECAME INOPERABLE ONLY HALF WAY UP THE TRACK. C) WINDOW CONTINUED INOPERABLE UNTIL REPAIRED ON 10/27/03. (D) THIRD FAILURE OCCURRED 9/10/04. WINDOW BEGAN RISING IMPROPERLY. (3) (A) INSPECTED BY DEALER, NO REPAIR SPECIFIED. (B) WINDOW REMOVED AND REINSTALLED ALONG WITH SHIM REGULATOR. (C) REPLACED BOTH WINDOW RUNS. (D) WINDOW TEMPORARILY GLUED AS A FIX WHILE PARTS ARE ON SPECIAL ORDER. ON 9/27/04 THE WINDOW GLASS AND RUNNER REPLACED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOTE: NO PARTS WERE KEPT, ALL WORK DONE BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. *AK
WINDOWS FAILED TO GO UP SMOOTHLY. THEY WOULD BIND, CAUSING WINDOWS TO APPEAR OFF TRACK AND STOP WHILE THE WINDOW MOTOR CONTINUED TO TRY TO RUN. THIS HAPPENED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. UNDER WARRANTY, THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, AND SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. NOW, THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME FOR THE SECOND REPAIR OF BOTH WINDOWS.*AK
I OWN A 2001 VEHICROSS BY ISUZU. I BOUGHT IT LAST WEEK AND IT HAS 55000 MILES ON IT. IMMEDIATELY I DISCOVERED THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEEMED TO BE MIS ADJUSTED AS THE WINDOW WOULD POP OUT OF TRACK AS IT WAS ROLLED UP. UPON COMING INTO CONTACT WITH AN ORGANIZATION OF SEVERAL HUNDRED VEHICROSS ENTHUSIASTS , WWW.VEHICROSS.INFORMATION, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS TYPE OF WINDOW FAILURE IS EPIDEMIC WITH THIS MODEL CAR. SOME OF THE OWNERS HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES -- I.E., THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN FIXED ONLY TO FAIL AGAIN, SOMETIMES THREE OR FOUR TIMES. AT THE MOMENT I HAVE 55, 500 MILES ON THE CAR, AND NOW THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW IS BEGINNING TO FAIL. I HAVE CONTACTED MY NEAREST ISUZU DEALERSHIP. BUT THEY REFUSED TO RETURN MY CALLS. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS BY ISUZU THAT DO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM. SINCE THERE WAS A LIMITED DISTRIBUTION OF THIS PARTICULAR MODEL CAR -- SOMEWHERE IN THE AREA OF 4000 PLUS OVER A 3 YEAR PERIOD -- IT APPEARS THE WINDOW FAILURE RATE IS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THAT TOTAL NUMBER. I WOULD ASK THAT THE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING INVESTIGATION OF THE INTERNAL ISUZU DOCUMENT MENTIONED ABOVE.

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW BINDING AND SUBSEQUENT FAILURE. WINDOW 'SIEZED" HALFWAY UP IT'S TRACK, NOT WEATHER RELATED. PERFORMED A HASTY REPAIR IN PARKING LOT WITH BORROWED TOOLS. A FAILURE LIKE THIS WOULD EASILY RESULT IN WINDOW BREAKAGE. THANK GOD THAT IT DIDN'T OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY. UPON FIRST OPPORTUNITY, DISMANTLED DOOR AND REPAIRED SOURCE -IMPROPER MECHANISM ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT. RE-ALIGNED COMPONENETS AND LUBED WINDOW TRACK WITH SPRAY GRAPHITE.*AK
THE POWER WINDOWS ON MY 2001 ISUZU VEHICROSS DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BINDS AS IT GOES UP AND WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY WITHOUT HELP, SO I HAVE TO PUSH IT UP THE LAST 1/3 OF THE WAY. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW NEEDS TO BE HELD IN THE TRACK FOR THE FIRST THIRD OF IT'S TRAVEL IN ORDER FOR IT TO CLOSE PROPERLY. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANYTHING OTHER THAN TEMPORARY FIXES. I DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM EVERY DAY.*AK
BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS KEEP FALLING OUT OF THEIR TRACKS WHEN RAISING THE WINDOW. I PHYSICALLY HAVE TO HOLD THE PASSENGER WINDOW IN ORDER TO GET IT UP. THIS IS AN IMFAMOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO A LOT OF OWNERS AND THEY ARE HAVING VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. 2001 ISUZU VEHICROSS, *AK
POWER WINDOW MOTOR FAILURE DUE WINDOW TRACK MISALINGMENT ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. PASSENGER SIDE REPLACED IN JUNE OF 2004 UNDER WARRANTY BUT IS FAILING AGAIN.*AK
I OWN A 2001 VEHICROSS BY ISUZU. I BOUGHT IT NEW SIX MONTHS AGO AND HAD ONLY 14,000 MILES ON IT. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE TRACK ALIGNMENT. AT THE MOMENT I HAVE 24,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS BEGINNING TO FAIL.
FOR THE THIRD TIME MY ELECTRIC WINDOW HAS FAILED. TWICE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND ONCE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. I PERSONALLY KNOW TWENTY OR MORE OTHER ISUZU VEHICROSS OWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

The basics
How to read this data
Complaints, recalls, investigations — here’s what each number actually tells you about a used Isuzu Vehicross, in plain English.
What is an NHTSA Complaint?
An NHTSA safety complaint is a report filed directly by a vehicle owner or driver describing a safety-related issue. Anyone can submit a complaint at NHTSA.gov. The number of complaints is a signal of how common a problem is — but complaints per model-year matter more than raw totals, since popular vehicles naturally receive more reports. The Isuzu Vehicross has 41 complaints on record across 3 model years.
What is a Safety Recall?
A safety recall is a mandatory campaign issued by NHTSA when a vehicle component poses an unreasonable risk to safety or does not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards. Unlike complaints (which are owner-reported), recalls are formally investigated and confirmed by regulators. Manufacturers must fix recalled vehicles free of charge. The Isuzu Vehicross has 0 recall campaigns in the NHTSA database.
What Are Crash Complaints?
Crash complaints are NHTSA filings where the owner indicates a crash occurred as part of the incident. 0 of the Isuzu Vehicross's 41 complaints involved a crash. This metric is particularly important because it indicates how often defects resulted in actual collisions — a key safety signal beyond general reliability.
How Is the Reliability Verdict Calculated?
The reliability verdict (Average) is generated by analyzing the vehicle's total complaints, recall history, crash complaint ratio, fire complaint ratio, and top component failures relative to class averages. This verdict gives buyers a quick interpretation before they review year-level details and VIN-level history. It should be treated as one decision input, not a substitute for a VIN-specific report.
Why Do Newer Years Have Fewer Complaints?
Newer model years appear to have fewer complaints because there has been less time for owners to file them. Complaints accumulate over years of ownership. A 2020 model year vehicle will typically show fewer complaints than a 2015 model year even if it is less reliable — simply because fewer owners have had time to report issues. Focus on complaints per year of market presence when comparing across model years.
Fleet Data vs. Individual VIN
Everything on this page reflects aggregated data across all Isuzu Vehicross vehicles on the road — not any specific car. Two Isuzu Vehicross vehicles of the same year can have very different histories: one may have been in three accidents and have an open recall; another may be clean. A VIN check gives you the individual car's history: accidents, title brands, odometer records, service history, and real-time recall status.
What Are NHTSA Investigations?
When NHTSA receives a pattern of related safety complaints, it opens a formal investigation. A Preliminary Evaluation (PE) is the first stage — NHTSA determines if a safety defect may exist. If evidence is strong, it escalates to an Engineering Analysis (EA), which can result in a mandatory recall. The Isuzu Vehicross has 0 investigations on record (0 active). Investigations listed above may have already led to the recalls shown on this page.
