What 1999 Isuzu Vehicross owners say
Windows, wipers & sunroof all 21 →
I own a 1999 Vehicross by Isuzu. I bought it two years ago and have only 469 miles on it. A few months ago the power window mechanism on the driver's side had to be replaced due to a failure of the track alignment. It cost me $800 to fix. Upon coming in contact with an organization of several hundred Vehicross enthusiasts I discovered that this type of window failure is epidemic with this model car. Some of the owners have had multiple failures -- I.e., the windows have been fixed only to fail again, sometimes three or four times. At the moment I have 29,000 miles on the car and now the passenger's side window is beginning to fail. I have contacted Isuzu but they deny there is a problem. On the other hand I understand there are official documents by Isuzu that do recognize this problem. …
Both passenger and driver side windows fall out of the track when being raised. This problem has been growing progressively worse. The driver side always requires me to guide it with my free hand until it is completely closed. This is required daily as I exit parking garages, drive throughs, etc. I have been pinched hard a few times. It is also dangerous to attempt this while the car is moving as both hands have to come off the wheel. Otherwise, I have to stop in moving traffic to raise the window, and that seems even more dangerous. I fear that one day I might get my right hand or glove caught in the window while I am driving and will not be able to reach the switch to lower the glass because I must keep my left hand on the wheel. …
