Sorry to dig up and/or hijack an old thread, BUT...I have to for two reasons.
1) Did these window complaints ever get anywhere with the ODI NHTSA??
2) Also, I would encourage any and all VX owners who are reading this and have had their ABS module fail to STRONGLY consider filing a complaint through the same site noted in this thread. You can do it online at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/ or by phone...takes 4-5 minutes...you'll need your VIN# and have to give some info leading up to how you discovered the problem, etc. I just did it, because paying a dealer around $3,000 to fix something safety related that should last AT LEAST over 100K miles on any vehicle is silly and wrong. I have also confirmed with a technical person I called on within Isuzu in CA that without a properly working ABS under severe/extreme flat/pedal-to-the-floor braking, the VX's TOD (which does receive data from the ABS system in how the TOD operates) may be effected and may put drive torque on wheels that aren't responding meaning instead of stopping you'll continue with erratic drive movement forward. I did get the feeling though this was a worst case scenario, but, imagine that causing or happening in an accident. Clearly there is a design or manufacturing defect with our ABS and when I called Isuzu customer relations, they simply say pay the money to have it fixed and have a nice day. Please, consider filing a complaint. It may make a huge difference in us getting a deserved repair.
