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.

I was in an accident on July 20,2006. A girl ran a red light and I hit her in the passenger side of her car head on with my 2000 Isuzu Rodeo. It was a full frontal collision for me and my children. Luckily, we are always buckled up because none of my airbags deployed at all. The other car was going about 60 mph and her airbag deployed when I hit her but mine did not. Luckily, my children were not hurt badly but unfortunately, I sustained neck, back and knee injuries. I was and still am very upset that my airbags failed. Even the owner of the body shop I use was in shock that they did not deploy as the impact was enough to split the frame of my Rodeo and total it out. I will not buy another Isuzu and I will also not recommend them to my family or friends in the future. Thank you for your time, I hope I can help another family from getting injured.

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!!
