CONSUMERS 2005 ISUZU NPR SPED UP AS IF HIS FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR. ***NO ANSWER REQUIRED*** *TS THE CONSUMER WAS UNAWARE THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCELERATOR LINKAGE LIKE A CONVENTIONAL TRUCK UNTIL AFTER THE FACT. THE TRUCK WAS DEPENDENT ON AN ELECTRONIC SIGNAL FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN THE CAB TO A COMPUTER TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE COMPUTER AND ACCELERATOR CONTROL SHOULD BE REPLACED ON THE TRUCK, HOWEVER NO ONE WAS WILL WILLING TO FIX THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE AN ADMISSION OF GUILT THAT THERE WAS A ACTUALLY A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. *JB

Reading this record
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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
