Isuzu Axiom Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | Oct 18, 2009
Reported on Oct 18, 2009
| FAILURE OF REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK COMPONENT DRIVERS SIDE FROM FRAME DUE TO CORROSION, CAUSED VEHICLE TO SPIN 180 DEGREES, IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, NO COLLISION. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED, SPEED WAS 30-35MPH, RAIN, CRANBERRY HIGHWAY RT 28 IN WAREHAM MA, VEHICLE IS 2002 ISUZU AXIOM, APPOX, 115,000 MILES, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM. THERE APPEARS TO BE MORE THAN NORMAL AMOUNTS OF CORROSION ON FRAME AND COMPONENTS, VEHICLE IS IN FOR REPAIR AT TOWERS SERVICE CENTER,606 MACARTHUR BLVD, RT28 POCASSET MA 02559 ONCE THIS VEHICLE IS INSPECTED ON A LIFT I EXPECT THERE WILL BE OTHER ISSUES TO ADDRESS. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE WAS DUE TO TRAVEL TO THE STATE OF RI AT 60-65MPH BY MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AT URI. I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN AT THAT SPEED THESE VEHICLES ARE PRONE TO CORROSION AND SHOULD BE CAREFULLY INSPECTED, OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS THE DEALERS ARE FAR AND FEW BETWEEN THEY NO LONGER PRODUCE PRIVATE VEHICLES JUST COMMERCIAL TRUCKS, ONE MIGHT ASK WHY. THANK YOU, I SHALL GET IN TOUCH WITH A DEALER ABOUT THIS AS IT JUST HAPPENED TODAY PLEASE CHASE THIS COMPANY DOWN I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AGAIN THANK YOU FOR HELP | |
