2001 Isuzu Trooper problems

AIRBAGS OPENED AND FRONT DOORS JAMMED AND I HAD SLIDE TO THE BACK TO ESCAPE. LUCKILY, CAR DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE OR EXPLODE. ( POLICE REPORT VERIFY THAT AFTER CRASH, CAR STILL FOUND TO BE IN REVERSE GEAR AND SUPRISED HOW CAR MOVED TOWARDS THE FRONT). A WEEK AGO, PRIOR TO THIS FREAKY CRASH, ( LUCKILY NO MINORS, SENIORS, HOMELESS WHO USUALLY WALK IN THE PARKING LOT WERE NOT PRESENT, OTHERWISE, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE DEATHS) MY CAR DEALERSHIP HAD DONE WORK ON MY CAR FOR NEARLY $1000.00. AND THEY REPLACED MODE SWITCH FOR MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ( THERMOSTAT CHANGED; PISTON COVER CHANGED) AND DON'T KNOW WHAT ROLE IT PLAYED IN MY CAR'S CRASH. I AM PRETTY SURE ITS A MALFUNCTION . IT NEEDS TO BE ASSESSED AND FIGURED WHAT ROLE THE ABOVE INSTALLATION…”

THE CONSUMER WAS ALSO INFORMED THE ELECTRICAL HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

“DT: THE CONTACT STATED 2001 ISUZU TROOPER ACCELERATED WHILE IN REVERSE, THEN HE PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, IT HESITATED AND SURGED FORWARD WHILE THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE VEHICLE LEFT BLACK MARKS IN THE DRIVEWAY, WENT THROUGH THE GARAGE CANS AND THROUGH A FENCE IN THE BACKYARD. ALL THIS TIME THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED. MEANWHILE ,THE VEHICLE STILL HAD A WIDE OPEN THROTTLE, AND WAS SPINNING IN THE GRASS. FINALLY, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE YARD AND FENCE. THE CONTACT CONTACTED ISUZU, AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO DO THAT. THE CAR SUSTAINED $5400.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE. NO POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. *AK”

“LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SWITCH STOPPED WORKING. ONLY HIGH BEAMS WORKED. HAD TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH REPLACED AT A COST OF $500. I SEE THAT THE SAME PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED AND RECALLED ON LATER MODEL ISUZU ASCENDERS AND GM VEHICLES. I BELIEVE ISUZU USED MANY GM PARTS IN THIS TROOPER AND IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL SO THAT I CAN GET REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS. *JS”
