Isuzu bump steer 2023 DMax
The current Isuzu DMax Gen 7 2022+ Hi Rider models suffer from bump steer due to poor engineering. The suspension geometry does not align with thie tie rod location causing bump steer with the below effects. The steering rod is mounted to low on the steering knuckle causing it to be pit of alignment and toe’ing in and out as the suspension soaks up bumps. This in turn gives constant feedback into your hands.
Poor stability Driver constantly has to correct/fight the steering wheel Hi levels of driver fatigue Increased tyre wear Poor contact between road and tyre
My specific vehicle is a 2023 Isuzu Dmax 1.9DDI HR 4x4
The steering wheel is constantly moving whilst driving, after taking it to the dealership and having them test other wheels the issue remained. The problem lies with the steering geometry, therefore my claim for poor design.
Isuzu feedback is that it is a characteristic of the vehicle. Therefore I am writing this to warn others not to buy this vehicle. Isuzu also do not want to take back my vehicle and reimburse me. Next step is to take legal action.
