Isuzu Ascender Electrical System Safety Report | Sept 18, 2012
Reported on Sept 18, 2012
| IT WAS RAINING OUTSIDE AND I GOT IN MY SUV TO DRIVE DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TO PICK UP MY GRANDDAUGHTER AS SHE GOT OFF THE BUS. AS I STARTED THE SUV AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF MY SPACE I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER WINDOW STARTED TO ROLL DOWN, THE WINDOW GOT ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN I PRESSED THE SWITCH TO RAISE THE WINDOW AND IT STARTED GOING UP AND THEN STOPPED AT ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY UP, AT THIS POINT I HAD STOPPED THE SUV AND I LET OFF OF THE SWITCH AND THE WINDOW WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND I NOTICED SMOKE COMING UP FROM THE WINDOW SEALS. I PROCEEDED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TO THE END AND THE SMOKE WAS GETTING THICKER AND BLACKER. I SHUT THE SUV OFF AND IT STOPPED SMOKING AND THE RESIDUAL SMOKE CONTINUED TO POUR UP THROUGH THE WINDOW SEALS. I TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND THE SMOKE WAS INSTANT AND JUST AS HEAVY AS BEFORE. I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION AND SAW THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE DOOR HINGE AREA AND WAS ABLE TO UNPLUG THE HARNESS. THE WINDOW IS STILL DOWN AND I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. *TR UPDATED 10/19/12 *CN UPDATED 10/23/2012 *JS | |
