Reported on Nov 05, 2005
| MY WIFE STEPPED ON BRAKE PEDAL TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE THE BRAKE WENT TO THE FLOOR, I WENT OUT TO TRY IT MYSELF & GOT SAME RESULT. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD I NOTICED MASTER CYLINDER WAS AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE TO THE RIGHT, THE BOLT ON THE VACUUM BOOSTER HAD SNAPPED OF WHICH DAMAGED THE BOOSTER & PEDAL FUNCTION. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED DURING VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IT COULD OF HAD SEVERE CONSEQUENCES. I NOTIFIED ISUZU OF AMERICA TO SEE IF IT WAS COVERED ON OUR WARRANTY THEY SAID NO , I ASKED YOU DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT A DEFECT LIKE THIS, THE ANSWER WAS STILL NO. I FIND THIS DISTURBING SINCE I AM A AUTO BODY TECH/APPRAISER AND I FELT YOU SHOULD BE INFORMED OF THIS EPISODE. ANY RESPONSE WOULD BE HELP FULL THANKFULLY SHE DID NOT TRY AND DRIVE THIS CAR & I WAS AT HOME TO SEE IT I HAVE PICTURES , DEALER HAS VEHICLE. HERE IS THE REPS NAME & NUMBER JOHN QUILAN 678-977-1287 . DEALER NUMBER ATTN TOM TOPPAN (THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT) 508-697-3113 . IM NOT SURE HWO THIS WORKS SO I WILL PLACE IT UNDER DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT ON ORIGINAL CAR. *JB | |
