1998 ISUZU HOMBRE Complaints

HEAD-ON COLLISION AT APPROX 30 MPH. BOTH AIR BAGS (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) FAILED TO DEPLOY DESPITE THE SEVERITY OF THE IMPACT. BUMPER DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE, ENGINE COLLAPSED, CAUSING AN OIL SPILL.

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS GONE OUT IN MY TRUCK WITHIN A YEAR'S TIME. A FRIEND OF MINE HAS AN ISUZU AMIGO (1998) MADE BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. HE SAID TWO MONTHS AFTER HIS FUEL SENDING UNIT WENT OUT, HIS FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE VEHICLE QUITS, WHICH IT WILL WHEN THE FUEL PUMP GOES OUT, IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO PREVENT THIS. THANK YOU! *AK
