Isuzu Hombre Steering Gear Box (other Than Rack And Pinion) Safety Report | Apr 20, 2000
Reported on Apr 20, 2000
| THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WILL NOT ANCHOR PROPERLY. WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, THE SEAT SLIDES BACKWARDS. ALSO, WHEN SITTING STILL, IF I EXTEND MY LEGS, THE SEAT SLIDES BACKWARDS. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND HE SAID SEVERAL SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAD BEEN REPORTED. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE THE STANDARD TRANSMISSION VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD AND CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN MANUFACTURING AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE ACCELERATED FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND THE SEAT HAS MOVED ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE REAR OF THE CAR. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT HAVE TEMPORARILY LOST TOTAL CONTROLL OF THE VEHICLE. I WILL BRING THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP ON 5/7/00 TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS REPORT FOR FUTURE RECALL CONSIDERATION. SINCERELY W. BRUCE MCDONALD &AJ | |
