| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 vehicross by isuzu. i bought it new four years ago and have only 26,000 miles on it. a few months ago the power window mechanism on the driver's side had to be replaced due to a failure of the track alignment. *ak it cost me $800 to fix. upon coming in contact with an organization of several hundred vehicross enthusiasts i discovered that this type of window failure is epidemic with this model car. some of the owners have had multiple failures -- i.e., the windows have been fixed only to fail again, sometimes three or four times. at the moment i have 27,000 miles on the car and now the passenger's side window is beginning to fail. i have contacted isuzu but they deny there is a problem. on the other hand i understand there are official documents by isuzu that do recognize this problem. since there was a limited distribution of this particular model car -- somewhere in the area of 4000 plus over a four year period -- it appears the window failure rate is a high percentage of that total number. i would ask that the department investigate this problem, including investigation of the internal isuzu document mentioned above. if there is, as it appears, a design flaw in the window mechanism, then there are hundreds of vehicross owners who have improperly been charged to repair it, sometimes multiple times. |
