| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 12/27/2005, our 2001 isuzu rodeo stalled in the middle of an intersection. after towing it to crest isuzu in plano, tx, the service representative informed me there was a short in the wiring harness. the cost of repair (labor included) is $1,300. after speaking with the repair technician (mechanic), he informed me this is a common problem with isuzus and they have yet placed a recall. he informed me the wiring harness controls the electronic throttle control, which tells the engine how much gas/acceleration is needed. in other words, the throttle control can tell the engine to "gun it" when the driver is braking. according to alldatapro.com, bulletin #ib00-04-s006 refers to the electronic throttle control, however, with no mention of the wiring harness. as stated earlier, however, the technician stated this is a common problem that isuzu will continue to ignore unless enough affected consumers come forward to register their complaints. per additional research, this is a known design defect. prior to this final incident on 12/27, we have had several other issues with the acceleration; however, it quickly disappeared and we thought nothing of it. *jb |
