1995 ISUZU TROOPER

ACCELERATED FROM STOP AND THROTTLE STUCK. WAS ABLE TO SHUT DOWN ENGINE AND GET TO SIDE OF ROAD. INSPECTED CABLE AND FOUND THAT RUBBER BOOT ON ENGINE SIDE OF CABLE HOUSING HAD BECOME GUMMY/STICKY/SOFT AND HAD FOLDED IN ON ITSELF, STICKING TO THE INNER CABLE ITSELF. REMOVED BOOT TO GET HOME. LOOKED ONLINE FOR REPLACEMENT, AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON EXACT SAME MODEL AND YEAR, BUT AFTER CALLING ISUZU, WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, THOUGH IT'S THE SAME PART NUMBER. OBVIOUSLY THE RECALL WAS INCOMPLETE, AND THERE ARE STILL CARS OUT THERE WHICH, LIKE MINE, HAVE THE SAME FAULTY SPEED CONTROL COMPONENTS. HAD I NOT KNOWN TO TAKE THE CAR OUT OF GEAR AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, THERE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A CRASH. MY WIFE DRIVES MY 2 YEAR OLD SON IN THIS CAR. I ASK YOU TO PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE ON BEHALF OF PUBLIC SAFETY. *TR

I HAVE SENT FIRESTONE ALL THAT THEY REQUESTED ME. THE FAILED FIRESTONE TIRE ALONG WITH A CD WITH ALL THE PICTURES OF THE TIRE AS WELL AS TWO ESTIMATES TO GET THE CAR FIXED. THE TOP ESTIMATE TO REPAIR THE CAR WAS FOR $1380.00. I SENT IT THROUGH FED-EX WITH THE MAILING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE COVER OF THE BOX. YOU COULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED THE TIRE WITH OUT THE BOX BECAUSE THE MAILING INSTRUCTIONS WERE ON THE ALONG WITH THE CD AND THE ESTIMATES!! THEREFORE, ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES HAD TO HAVE RECEIVED THE CD AND THE ESTIMATES WITH THE BOX, WHICH CONTAIN THE FAILED FIRESTONE TIRE. YOU STATED IN YOUR CORRESPONDENCE THAT YOU DO NOT POSSESS THOSE DOCUMENTS. THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD NOT POSSESS THOSE DOCUMENTS IS IF YOU LOST THEM!!! BECAUSE THEY WERE TAPED WITH THE MAILING/DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX!!! IF THE CD AND THE ESTIMATES WERE LOST ENROUTE, THEN THE MAILING/DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS WOULD HAVE LOST TOO BECAUSE THEY TAPED TOGETHER WITH THEM AND YOU WOULD NOT HAVE RECE
