I OWN A 2000 VEHICROSS BY ISUZU WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW. BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOWS HAVE HAD TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO FAILURE OF THE TRACK ALIGNMENT. 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 I HAVE CONTACTED ISUZU BUT THEY DENY THERE IS A 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. *JB

I AM LEASING A 2000 ISUZU VEHICROSS. I HAVE HAD THE POWER WINDOWS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR EITHER BIND OR DROP DOWN IN BETWEEN THE DOOR. ONCE EVEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FORTUNATELY FOR ME MY WARRANTY HAS BEEN COVERING THIS DEFECT, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE "REPAIR" DOES NOT LAST TOO LONG. I THINK MUCH OF IT HAS TO DO WITH A CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE.THE FIRST TIMEBOTH WINDOWS WERE EFFECTED AND I WAS AT ABOUT 26,000 MILES.THEN 36,000, 40,000 AND JUST RECENTLY (6/2005) AT 69,000 MILES FOR JUST THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. I'M SURE THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS ABOUT DUE TO HAPPEN AGAIN SO I THOUGHT I WOULD FILE THIS COMPLAINT NOW. I HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH MANY VEHICROSS OWNERS THAT HAD TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN REPAIRS AND THIS IS NOT FAIR. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THANKS TO MY WARRANTY; I STILL WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW FAILURE CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED

Incident: January 15, 2003 · Filed: April 17, 2005

I OWN A 2000 VEHICROSS BY ISUZU. I BOUGHT IT NEW 1/01. ON 1/15/03 @ 22,449 MILES THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HAD TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE TRACK ALIGNMENT. *AK IT COST ME $0 TO FIX AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, IT FAILED AGAIN SOON AFTER. 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 46,000 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.

I HAVE A CONTINUING POWER WINDOW MECHANISM PROBLEM THAT IS AFFECTING BOTH WINDOWS. IT WAS FIXED ONCE PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIRS WERE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY SICE THE VEHICLE WAS NMORE THAN THREE YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. THROUGH A USER GROUP, I'VE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THE WINDOW PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON. ISUZU DENIES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.*AK
