VEHICLE SHIMMIES AT 60-65, TIRES WERE REPLACED AND WHEELS BALANCED, DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM.*AK

I HAD A NARROW ESCAPE TODAY, WHEN THE ABS UNIT ON MY CAR STARTED BELLOWING SMOKE; I WAS LUCKY THAT THE CAR DID NOT CATCH FIRE!! HAD TO CALL THE "FIRE DEPT.,JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS OKAY. AM HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. AM VERY FRUSTATED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO A 2.5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE!! I AM APPALLED THAT ISUZU HAS NOT YET SENT OUT A NOTICE TO OWNERS REGDS., THIS PROBLEM; THE ABS ON MY ISUZU OVERHEADED AND NEARLY SET THE WHOLE VEHICLE ON FIRE, ENDAGERING LIVES. I WAS NOT EVEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

TIMING BELT BROKE(RECALL 01I002), THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING AND THE VALVES WERE BENT. CONSUMER IS ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE RENTAL CAR ACQUIRED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REPAIRS AND FOR THE MONIES SPENT FOR SCOTTS AUTO SHOP. *JG

THE ABS MODULE CAME ON FOR NO REASON UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND STAYED ON, EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED. UNPLUGGING THE POWER TO THE ABS MODULE WAS REQUIRED TO PREVENT IT RUNNING UNTIL OVERHEATING AND MELTING OR SOMETHING ELSE BAD. *AK

VEHICLE IDLES VERY FAST, STALLS AT SLOW SPEEDS, THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT LEAST 10 TIMES, DEALER HAS REPROGRAMMED PCM. DID NOT REMEDY PROBLEM.*AKJG

CAR HAS A ROTTEN EGG SMELL. TECH SAID TO USE LOW GRADE GAS INSTEAD OF HIGH GRADE GAS & THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE. THE CAR STILL HAS A ROTTEN EGG SMELL. THE CAR STARTS TO PING AFTER 2,500 MILES AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE. AFTER ADDING A HALF QUART OF OIL THE CAR STOPS PINGING. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 3,000 MILES AS RECOMMENDED. THE CAR ON OVER 20 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF MOST TIMES THIS OCCURS WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. ONE TIME MY HUSBAND, TWO CHILDREN AND MYSELF WERE IN THE CAR DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL AT A PARK AT A SLOW SPEED & THE CAR SHUT OFF. FORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO THESE ISSUES. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO BE ADDING OIL TO A NEW CAR EVERY 2,500 MILES AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT IS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO TAP WHEN THE OIL IS LOW AND THAT MY CAR IS NOT OUT OF OIL IT IS ONLY A QUART SHORT WHEN THE TAPPING BEGINS. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALLING AND THEREFOR TELL ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF MY OTHER CARS. I LEASED A NEW CAR SO THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND HAVING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE ALL OF THE TIME.*AK

GAS READER IS READING INCORRECTLY. *AK. CONSUMER STATES DEALER TOLD HIM THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES ALREADY, SOMETHING TO DO WITH INSTRUMENTS INSIDE THE FUEL TANK/NOT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGE. NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN TANK NOW? CONSUMER IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY. *YD

CONSUMER STATES THAT THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ANTILOCK BRAKES AND ARE UNABLE TO STOP. NLM CONSUMER ADDS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT IS ON AND FOUND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SENSOR HAD FAILED. VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, #1 CYLINDER COIL, PCM RELAY AND CRANK SENSOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED. *TT
