Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2000 N-SERIES is service brakes, air:antilock:abs warning light with 1 filings, followed by service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:pads (1) and service brakes, air:antilock (1). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 3 investigation files overlapping the 2000 N-SERIES. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

20030128SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
I HAVE A 2000 ISUZU PICK-UP HOMBRE AND I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT DISC BRAKES THAT DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT SEEMED THAT EVERYTIME I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES, I HAD A HARD PUSH THEN SHORTLY AFTWARDS, THE BRAKES GAVE STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THIS FELT LIKE THE ABS WAS KICKING IN. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO AN ISUZU DEALER, THEY SAID THE BRAKES ARE A "WEAR" ITEM AND NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT BRAKES AND TRUCKS AND CHANGED MANY DISC'S, SO I LOOKED TO SEE IF I COULD FIND WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TO MY SURPRISE, THE DISC'S (ALL FOUR) WERE LARGER THAN THE ROTOR AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE OVER 30,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT BEING OVERSIZED, THE TOP OF EACH BRAKE PAD LAPPED OVER THE ROTOR APPROXIMATELY 1/8 TO 1/4 INCH. THIS WEAR PATTERN CAUSED THE TOP OF EACH DISC TO OVERLAP THE TOP OF EACH ROTOR AND THIS TOP WAS ENGAGING PRIOR TO THE DISC MAKING CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR, WHICH LEAD TO THE DELAY OF ENGAGEMENT OF THE FULL DISC ON THE ROTOR.
