It seems Isuzu has a different approach to handling problems than other manufacturers do. I understand the irritation your feeling with them. My 98 Amigo had ABS problems many times. First time dealer checked it out -said there was nothing wrong with it. Second time -said a wire was bad. Third time complete ABS rear harness was replaced. Ok each time the ABS light was on. When I left the first time it was still on. The next 2 it was off, only on the third it stayed off. Doesn't seem like much ...right. When the light was on the ABS was shut down. Isuzu never has had a relliable ABS anyway but I still felt it was a safety issue. Now I had problems with a flutter while driving and each time EACH dealer could not find the problem. I even overheard a tech tell his supervisor "I bet this guy goes to the emergency room when he just sneezes" . They nearly called the police after that. They also told me to never come back to that dealership to waste their time. I called Isuzu of America... NOTHING. I later took it to an out of state dealership who told me over the phone that they could help...yea right. I went down there with only the flutter and ended up with a dead fuel gauge. The tech came out and told me he had some good and bad news. The good-he could get it to flutter so there was a problem. The bad news-he had the laptop connected while testdriving it showed nothing and when finished the PC asked him if he wanted to upgrade???? He clicked the yes button not knowing what would happen. BOOM - he just reset the computer for the upgraded fuel sender which it did not have installed. This is IRREVERSIBLE. His boss then denied the tech said this and told me he ordered the new sending unit. I thought great deny but fixing it anyway. NOT, he then gave me the bill for the work done(???) and for the future sending unit. Service work $95.00 sending unit $ 169.00. I told him I wasn't paying a penny. I imediately called Isuzu They were shocked by the handling of this but advised me to pay. I said no. Once again the police were called but I ended up paying only the basic shop fee $70.00 . That was a year and a half ago and still have no gas gauge. The flutter ended up being a $40.00 part. There has been numerous times of calling Isuzu of America from a leaking seam on the softop(warranty) to a defective replacement rear window(which is bad again due to the defective zipper). For a dependable manufacturer they sure have attitudes with people. I would talk to an attorney (because of the safety issues involved) becuase if one wheel broke what will happen if another does? Or go to another set of rims from a salvage yard. I would go with the attorney though.
