Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle originally failed summer of 2000 with ~42000 miles. while driving, engine would stall for a few seconds and re-fire. vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that until the vehicle failed and would not start again, they could not diagnose the problem. as time went on, the failures became more frequent and more severe. the vehicle will stall and will not start for 5-20 mins. sometimes the vehicle will not start in the morning when it is cold. this problem has been reported the last 6 times the vechicle was taken in for other service and the dealer has been unable to fix the problem. during hot weather, the vehicle stalls at least once per day. same symptoms as 98v170000 recall. dealer claims recall was performed or vehicle was n/a. dealer just kept the vehicle for 11 days, was able to reproduce the problem 1 time. contacted isuzu and cleaned all ground wire contacts. this did not fix the problem. i have been in many dangersous situations with the vechicle stalled on high-speed freeways with no shoulder to pull onto, and in traffic where i have nearly been rear ended multiple times.*ak
