Defect. THE STEERING WHEEL CENTER HUB CAN FRACTURE DURING CERTAIN FRONTAL AND NEAR FRONTAL VEHICLE COLLISIONS.
Risk. FRACTURING OF THE STEERING WHEEL HUB CAN DECREASE THEDRIVER'S CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD REDUCE THE CRASH PROTECTION OF THESTEERING SYSTEM AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG.
Remedy. A STEERING WHEEL REINFORCEMENT PLATE AND NUT WILL BE ADDED TO THE STEERING WHEEL HUB.
CONSTANT STALLING AND/OR HIGH REVVING OF ENGINE. STALLING USUALLY OCCURS WHEN COMMING OUT OF GEAR AND IDLE GOES DOWN TO 500RPMS OR LOWER AND STALLS OUT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE AN ACKNOWLEDGED ECU PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED AND ISUZU NEVER DID.*AK
NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK
ENGINE IDLE JUMPS ABOVE 3000 RPM AFTER PULLING TO A STOP. WILL OCCASIONALLY RETURN TO NORMAL AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. CAR RACES AND ACCELERATES UNCONTROLLABLY WITH CLUTCH ENGAGED UNTIL IDLE SPEED RETURNS TO NORMAL. IAC AND STICKY THROTTLE CABLE HAVE BEEN RULED OUT. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE DELCO ECU, AS EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH 1.6 AND 1.8 LITER FI 4XE1 AND 4XF1 ENGINES. MANUFACTURER HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM.

5 of 5 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
