1996 ISUZU OASIS (VO)

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN OUR 1996 ISUZU OASIS MINIVAN. THE MECHANIC AT ISUZU SAID IT WOULDN'T RESPOND TO HIS DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE AIRBAGS COULD NOT BE COUNTED ON TO PROTECT US IN AN ACCIDENT. IT WOULD COST $675 FOR THE PART ALONE, NOT COUNTING THE LABOR CHARGES. THE SRS UNIT IS A HONDA PART (THE OASIS IS THE HONDA ODYSSEY). MY MECHANIC TRIED TO GET THE PART FROM A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE AND THE HONDA MECHANIC TOLD HIM THAT HONDA IS COVERING REPLACEMENT OF THAT PART IN THE ODYSSEY FOR FREE UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED ISUZU AND THEY CURRENTLY HAVE NO RECALL OF THAT PART, HOWEVER THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA'S WEB SITE FOR 1996 ODYSSEYS AND 1996 OASIS'S HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *AK I AM CONCERNED REGARDING OUR SAFETY IF OUR CAR IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON 4/24/02 AND THE DEALER RESET IT. IT CAME BACK ON 5/9/02 AND THE DEALER HAS SAID THAT THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE WERE DEFECTIVE AND THAT THE AIRBAGS DO NOT WORK WHEN THE LIGHT WERE ON.*AK

WHEN GOING ON REVERSE (BACKING UP) AND I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE FRONT WHEELS MAKE A CLICKING SOUND THAT IS MORE OF A CRACKING SOUND. IT FEELS LIKE IF THE TIRES ARE GOING TO COME OFF. MY BROTHER WHOM ALSO HAD A MINI VAN LIKE MINE, EXCEPT HIS WAS A 1997 HONDA ODDISSEY NOTICED THE PROBLEM BEFORE I HAD NOTICED MINE. ANOTHER FRIEND FROM CHURCH WITH A 1996 ISUZU OASIS SHARED THE SAME PROBLEM: (THE CLICKING SOUND WHEN GOING ON REVERSE) I DID NOT WORRY BECAUSE MINE DID NOT HAVE THAT CLICKING SOUND UNTIL JUST RECENTLY (AT 47,909 MILES). THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH EITHER SUSPENSION, WHEELS OR WHATEVER HOLDS THE WHEELS. WE DON'T FEELS SECURE ANYMORE UNLESS THIS IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT? THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR TIME. SINCERELY, DANIEL MIRANDA.*AK
