I TOOK MY 2007 ISUZU I-290 TRUCK INTO DEALER BACK IN DEC. OF 2010 BECAUSE THE REDUCE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 15 MILES/HR.

I TOOK MY 2007 ISUZU I-290 TRUCK INTO DEALER BACK IN DEC. OF 2010 BECAUSE THE REDUCE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 15 MILES/HR. WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING THE ENGINE WOULD JUST KILL. STILL UNDER WARRANTY WITH APPROX 68,000 MILES, I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS, ALL THEY DID WAS CHANGE THE CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR. 5 MONTHS LATER, I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. DIAGNOSTIC READINGS CAME BACK THAT SENSORS NEEDED CHANGING. I REPLACED BOTH SENSORS BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE KILLED AND WO…
THIS TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED AN INTERMITTEN STARTING PROBLEM. AMBIENT TEMPERTURE SEEMS TO HAVE SOME BEARING ON THE FREQUENCY OF THE OCCURANCE, FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I VISITED COLORODO HAVING MUCH LOWER TEMPERATURE THAN IN SOUTH TEXAS, I HAD ZERO OCCURANCES AND WHEN I RETURNED TO HIGH 80 PLUS TEMPURATURES THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME A DAILY IF NOT EVERY RESTART INCONVIENCE.

THE PASSLOCKII SYSTEM LOCKS OUT THE IGNITION SO IT WON'T START. THIS WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST BUT HAS BECOME A DAILY OCCURRENCE. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THEM. THIS SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND THE MANUFACTURER KNEW IT WHEN THEY MADE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY PUT A NOTE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL TO LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR 10-15 MINUTES AND TRY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS GOTTEN RIDICULOUS. THE ISUZU ASSISTANCE LINE BASICALLY TOLD US TOUGH [XXX]. IF WE DIDN'T LIKE IT THEN GO TO THE DEALER AND PAY TO FIX IT. IT IS A FAULTY SYS…
DRIVERS SIDE DOOR POWER WINDOW AND POWER LOCK SWITCH IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND VEHICLE HAS A SLOW BATTERY DRAIN REQUIRING A JUMP START IF IT SITS FOR LONGER THAN ONE DAY. EVEN ONE DAY IS QUESTIONABLE FOR STARTING WITHOUT A JUMP. DOOR IS VERY WARM AROUND THE AREA OF THE FOR SWITCH MODULE, INDICATING A SHORT OR OTHER ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. GM HAS ALREADY RECALLED THE SUVS (CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, GMC ENVOY, ISUZU ASCENDER) BASED UPON THIS PLATFORM FOR FAULTY DRIVER'S DOOR SWITCH MALFUNCTIONS THAT PRESENTED WITH SAME INTERMITTENT FUNCTION AND INTE…
