| 1998 isuzu oasis: car stalled, would not restart, repaired at local service station for ignition switch, this switch is a recall campaign #02v120000 on 5-16-2002 (isuzu did not notify me of this recall). the local repair station is who informed me of the recall. when i called a local isuzu dealer in bedford, ohio, they would not repair the switch under this recall. therefore i had to get it repaired at the local service station costing me $334.16. i am filing a complaint again isuzu and would like to be reimbursed as this should have been covered under this recall. thank you, margie mazur *tr | |||

| I have noticed that my car was suddenly shutting down without any problems before, everything went blank, this started to happen more and more often until the car could not start. i have tracked it to the ignition switch where i had to sometimes hold it halfway in starting position in order to start the car otherwise it would not start (it would crank but would not start) i have checked for recalls on nhtsa.gov website and in fact in found that there were recalls for ignition switch, i called honda dealer first and they denied any responsibility for this car and stated to call isuzu motors because it was sold through them. i call isuzu motors and was told that in fact this ignition switch was replaced at the end of 2002. i spoke with the rep about this issue claiming that obviously the problem still exists, they have declined to replace it and stated i would have to pay for this if i want to have it done. i am asking and demanding that isuzu replaces this bad ignition switch at their expense. *tr | |||

| 1. automatic transmission started to slip and had extremely delayed response when starting decelerating and then immediately accelerating leaving me in a path of oncoming traffic due to delayed response. 2. ultimately automatic transmissions has failed and i had to get it repaired for a cost of around $2000.00, from my research i have concluded that there has been extreme amount of failed transmissions in isuzu oasis 1998, which is a re badge of honda odyssey 1998 (exactly the same car) 3. transmission has been rebuilt. *tr | |||
