Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I got a letter from Isuzu asking me to come in for a recall due to pre-mature frame rusting I was told they had to lift the body off the frame to inspect it and I was having the gas-level sender replaced at the same time. I was told by the service department that bolts holding the cassis to the frame had a tendency to fail so they were being replaced with stainless steel hardware. When I got the truck back the new shiny bolts and nuts were visible externally and I was assured that my truck was not that bad and it was just a precautionary measure. …”
NHTSA complaint #10629673, filed 2014-08, 85,000 miles“I had a mechanic look at my truck because of an exhaust leak, while inspecting, he found a break/separation of the right frame where the forward mounting rear suspension bracket attaches. The left side of the frame is also rotted but not yet broken. I took it to an Isuzu dealer in massachusetts, & they took pictures of the problem, then reported it to Isuzu. I called Isuzu's (800) help line to ask what they could do to repair my truck, they said nothing, they were not recalling that particular truck model but took my information.”
