Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Was just informed about the value of reporting this. In 1997, under warranty-I showed a line in the frame to a Isuzu dealer/mechanic who failed to identify this as a crack in the frame. Since then, the crack has circumvented most of the f-l frame, where the power steering pump is attached. Isuzu corporate refused to correct this or to offer a solution to ensure my safety. In addition, I reported the transmission slipping, jerking into gear and the dealer failed to diagnose the transmission problem, after the warranty expired, the trans failed and I had to have it rebuilt.”
