What owners say
Tl*the contact owned a 2000 isuzu rodeo. While driving 10-15 MPH and backing up in a shopping center parking lot, the contact moved forward and struck a steel pole. The driver's side frontal air bag failed to deploy at the time of impact and the driver sustained injuries to her neck and face. The vehicle was destroyed and a police report was filed. The failure and current mileages were 124,000.
While driving 8 MPH consumer's vehicle collided with vehicle in front. Upon impact, both frontal air bags failed to deploy. Vehicle was towed to a garage for inspection. The cause had not been determined.
Vehicle was involved in an accident while traveling at 25 to 30 MPH but the air bags did not deploy.*mr the consumer was involved in a front end collision yet none of the air bags deployed. The consumer contacted the manufacturer about the air bags but the representative did not seem to be too concerned about the situation. The consumer believes the air bag should have deployed and doesn't feel safe in the vehicle. The vehicle sustained $6881. Worth of front end damage.
During a 40 MPH crash into a concrete center divider on a interstate in which the vehicle made contact with the front and driver front area, causing extensive damages. Including pushing bumper,grille,headlights and hood up into the engine compartment. To my shock the airbags did not deploy. What is up with this? Do they just tell you they are there and they don't work when you need them??? I will not purchase another isuzu product and am seeking a claim against isuzu to find out what the problem might be. Thank you for your time!!
