WHEN IDLING THE VEHICLE IS IDLING VERY HIGH. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON, AND WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS YOU START TO LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE JERKS YOU, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF GETTING WHIPLASH. WE HAVE HAD IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES AND LOTS OF TIMES FOR A WEEK AT A TIME. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS DUE TO THE GAS CAP, THEY REPLACED THAT, 2 DAYS LATER IT WAS BACK ON. THEY ALSO SAID IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR, REPLACED THAT AND ITS STILL ACTING AS THOUGH ITS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. AS FAR AS THE JERKING OF THE VEHICLE THEY WONT TELL US WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THAT. ALSO THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO RESOLVE THESE PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO TAKE OTHERS LIVES. *TR

AFTER MY WIFE CAME HOME FROM WORK, WE DECIDED TO RUN TO THE LOCAL GROCERY STORE TO GET A FEW THINGS. ON OUR WAY BACK, DRIVING AT 25 MPH WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND PULL TO THE RIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND WALKED TO A MECHANIC DOWN THE STREET AND ASKED HIM TO DIAGNOSE MY VEHICLES' DAMAGE. HE SHOWED ME THAT A PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRACKET HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF OF THE FRAME. HE THEN POINTED OUT THAT THE REST OF THE FRAME WAS ALSO COMPLETELY CORRODED TO THE POINT OF PUTTING YOUR FINGER THROUGH IT IN CERTAIN AREAS. HE SAID THE DAMAGE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOW JUNK. IT WAS ONLY MINUTES BEFORE OUR ORDEAL THAT MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME AT 55 MPH. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE OUTCOME IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO HER DURING THIS TIME. *TR

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I WAS ABLE TO WIGGLE IT LOOSE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS ... BUT IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE ... THUS I NOW HAVE TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. TALKED TO ISUZU DEALER AND THEY SAID TO FIX IT IF IT WAS ONLY THE SHIFTER THAT BECAME MISALIGNED WOULD COST $100 OR WORSE CASE IT COULD COST AS MUCH AS $500. *TR
