Hombre

  • miles
While driving in heavy rain, engine injested water through air intake system in sufficient quantities to cause hydraulic lock-up of the pistons. The vehicle was operating at approx 3-5 mph at the time of the incident. It travelling through a puddle of approx 6"-12" in depth and turning a corner. It was not subjected to flooding water at any time prior to the incident. I submitted a complaint to Isuzu (#98273035) and todate have not had anyone from Isuzu contact me to come to review the complaint nor investigate cause or explain why or how this can occur. I have received two letters from them claiming no fault, but effort to look into problem was made.
