| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The incidents all happened on or before november 28th, 2005. the situation had gotten worse and that is when i took it in to the dealership. when traveling down the road the suv would either stall out when slowing down to a stop or die when you are trying to turn into a parking space. we had family in the rodeo on numerous occasions when the vehicle would stall out when hitting the brakes hard when someone would pull out in front of you. the engine would die while traffic was coming towards us. it would idle roughly and when you would let it warm up for a good ten minutes, trying to place it in gear will kill the engine. i took it to crest isuzu thinking it was the fuel pump that was replaced not too long ago since it was acting the same way. the service advisor told me it was the wire harness that runs from the engine to the gas pedal. phil explained this to me after he gotten the report from the service technician. he even told me that isuzu knew that the way the system was designed (the wiring harness was laid out) that when the vehicle goes over a bump or hits a pot hole, it would cut the wiring, causing it to short out. i went for the repairs, which cost me over 400 dollars. the vehicle is doing the same thing again. as consumers, we shouldn't have to put up with something like this. they knew it was a design flaw. we are continuing to have this problem. it's a safety issue because the vehicle dies in traffic and you don't know when it will do it again. there is no telling how many consumers have been raked over the coals on this issue and have not spoken up on this. *nm |
