“On 10/17/03, I was driving on a wet road with a small hill when my 2002 Axiom skidded, first to the right, then across the road into the path of a car causing a collision. There was no reason for my car to go into a skid traveling at 25 MPH. On 10/02/03, my dealer checked a screech in the left front wheel only to tell me it was incorrect tire pressure. Upon my questioning him, he didn't know what the correct tire pressure should be. On 9/17 I also skidded the exact same way. If I could put these 2 skids on top of one another, they would match perfectly.”

“On 9/19/03, I was driving on a wet road with a small hill when my 2002 Isuzu Axiom skidded, first to the right, then across the road into the oncoming traffic lane. There was really no reason for my car to skid. I was traveling about 25 MPH, the speed limit. Fortunately, no one one was coming in the opposite direction and I was able to recover from the skid. On 10/02/03, my dealer checked a screech in the left front wheel only to tell me it was incorrect tire pressure. Upon my questioning him, he didn't even know what the correct tire pressure should be.”

“While driving at 25 MPH left front tire blew out, driver lost control and hit a guard rail. Upon impact, none of the air bags deployed. Goodyear, size p235/65r17, DOT# unknown. Consumer stated there was not an issue with the tire, but his son ran over something and blew the tire.”

“This vehicle looks great. However, the tires are like ice skates on the slightest of wet roads. The car jumps to the side over any bump with sport ride engaged, and the whole car bobbles? With it off. The transmission did the slipping between 2nd and 3rd gear like others have said, resulting in having no vehicle for nearly a month while waiting for a transmission from france. Isuzu has no loaner car policy, so pay for a broken car, and have a nice walk. We purchased the car from courtesy Isuzu in brandon florida. The people there were nice. …”

“When we bought the vehicle (same day) we noticed a vibration. A few days after the purchase, the dealer balanced the tires, and on the way home we noticed that the problem was not fixed. (09/04/02). We were not able to get back to the dealer immediately, but they were informed. On 9-19-02 it was brought back in and they replaced the right rear axle and axle bearing and replaced a tire and it was not fixed again. On 9-20-02, they replaced the driveshaft, and the problem was still there. The problem worsened, and was now involving the brakes. …”
