| I have owned this car for three years and in that time heres the issues, rpm, oil, tempature, speedomter gauges have quit. the car virbrates extememly hard when sitting still. if the ac is on, its virbrating harder, the front vents have quit working and only the defrosters and rear vents work. the car likes to die at red lights. i see the oil and tempature gauge as a safety issue. there will be no warning if the car is too hot and the oil pressure is to high.the engine light stays on no matter what we fix. it says the car had a cylinder one missfire. can be caused by a bad spark plug, a bad coil or vacuum leak. replaced the first two and had it inspected by a mechanic for the second. nothing. the cold to hot setting on the heat, only one side of the light works, but if i slide the knob up and down fast, the light comes on. sign of a short. | |||

| While the vehicle was parked, liquid was leaking from underneath the vehicle. the check engine light flashed on and off on the dashboard. the consumer noticed that the vehicle was running rough. the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and the mechanic determined that the head gasket needed to be replaced. the consumer informed the mechanic that the head gasket was replaced three times and the problem recurred. *ak | |||

| Check engine light came on while vehicle was idling. took to dealer and he had to reprogram or reboot the computer. (1 day at dealer) subsequently (approx. 6 months) the dash lights failed (no warning lights) dealer reprogrammed/rebooted computer. problem recurred on trip home so i returned car to dealer. diagnosed as bad instrument panel - took 6 days to get replacement part. parts for isuzu have to be ordered from isuzu. the exact same part is available from chevrolet, gmc, buick and was readily available from any of these but we lost use of our vehicle for 6 days waiting on isuzu to deliver the part. *nm | |||
