Isuzu Trooper Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | Aug 14, 1997
Reported on Aug 14, 1997
| IN 1997-8, I NOTIFIED ISUZU DEALERSHIP OF A 'CLICKING NOISE' IN THE F.L. WHEEL/SUSPENSION AREA WHILE TURNING. INFORMED THAT IT WAS NORMAL SUSPENSION NOISE, I CONCENTED. IN 2000, I OBSERVED A CRACK IN THE FRAME, THE CLICKING GREW WORSE. AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC EVENT. ISUZU CORP SAID TO CONTACT DEALER, WHO SAID OUT OF WARRANTY, COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, NOT A DEFECT OF STEEL FRAME INTEGRITY. THOUGH AN EFFECTIVE, SERVICE MANAGER; I IMAGINE HE WAS NOT A STRUCTRUAL ENGINEER. SO, I MET W/A FAA INSPECTOR WHO SAID THIS WAS CLEARLY A FAULTY COMPONENT AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT YOU. I AM STILL IN CONTACT WITH THE ORGIONAL ISUZU DEALER 'MECHANIC' WHO WILL SUBMIT AS WITNESS IF NECESSARY.*AK | |
