Consumer Description

DRIVING FROM THE PITTSBURGH AIRPORT PARKING LOT ON A SIDE ROAD. APPROXIMATELY 2 MIN AFTER DRIVING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST CONTROL - NO STEERING OR BRAKES. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE CAR VEERED ACROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD I MANAGED TO MISS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND JUST MISSED GOING DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. BEFORE COMING TO A STOP THERE WAS A 'POPPING' NOISE FROM THE CAR. UPON LOOKING UNDER THE CAR ONE OF THE MEMBERS HAS SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO THE ISUZU AGENCY IN WEXFORD, PITTSBURGH UPON INSPECTION THE CAR WAS DEEMED 'DANGEROUS' AND BEYOND REPAIR AS THE CAR NEEDED A NEW FRAME DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. THE CAR REMAINS AT THE ISUZU AGENCY WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION DUE TO THE DANGEROUS NATURE OF THE DAMAGE - WHICH I CAN CERTAINLY ADVOCATE THE REST OF THE CAR HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AND WE ENVISIONED MANY MORE YEARS OF CAREFUL DRIVING THIS MANUFACTURING ERROR SHOULD BE RECTIFIED BEFORE SOMEONE IS EITHER BADLY INJURED OR INDEED KILLED BY THIS INFERIOR DESIGN. *TR
