1998 Isuzu Trooper

BLOWOUT OCCURRED ON JULY 31, 2002 AT APPROXIMATELY 4:45PM ON ROUTE 2 IN THE EAST BOUND HIGH SPEED LANE. I FELT THE CAR VIBRATE. BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 65M.P.H. I SWERVED INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND BACK INTO THE LEFT LANE ATTEMPTING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT WENT INTO A 360 DEGREE PLUS SPIN. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN.*AK

CANNOT TAKE THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION. NOT AN EVERYTIME INCIDENT. SOMETIMES THE LOCK ASSEMBLY STOPS AT ACCESSORY WHERE IT WON'T GO FURTHER; SOMETIMES IT GOES TO LOCK AND STILL CANNOT REMOVE KEY. DEALER SAYS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. DEALER ADJUSTED SHIFT LINKAGE. THEN, REMOVED AND REPLACED SHIFTER INTERLOCK CABLE. THEN, REPLACED IGNITION TUMBLEER AND REKEYED TO MATCH EXISTING DOOR LOCKS. UNABLE TO GET KEY OUT OF IGNITION. DEALER HAS REFERRED TO ANOTHER DEALER.*AK

I AM CURRENTLY LEASING THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS BOUGTH NEW, EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN REVERSE OR DRIVE THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND ALSO A CLUNKING NOISE EVERY TIME VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO A JOLT. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TWICE TO TWO DIFFRENT DEALERS AND WHILE THEY AKNOLEDGED THE NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION , BOTH DEALERSHIPS REPORTED IN WRITTING THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVETRAIN AND ONE EVEN SAID THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL.I KNOW THAT IS NOT TRUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IT DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS THEN.THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ONTARIO DODGE/ISUZU & SHAVER ISUZU IN CALIFOFNIA STATE. I HAVE CUNSULTED WITH OTHER INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION & REPAIR SHOPS WHO ADVISED THAT THE NOISE COMES MOST LIKELY FROM THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE AND NEEDS REPAIR AND ADVICED ME BACK TO THE DEALER AS THE VEHICLE STILL IS UNDER THE POWERTRAIN/DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY . SO FAR I HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFULL TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. I FEEL IT IS UNFAIR FOR A COSUMER TO NOT GET HIS/HER MONEYS WORTH.*AK

MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I AM CURRENTLY LEASING THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE. ON JANUARY 30, 2002 I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY HUSBAND WHEN SUDDENLY I WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHOSE DRIVER FAILED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGNED. BOTH AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I AM CONCERN WITH THE SAFTEY OF THIS VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER.
