I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND IN THAT TIME HERES THE ISSUES, RPM, OIL, TEMPATURE, SPEEDOMTER GAUGES HAVE QUIT. THE CAR VIRBRATES EXTEMEMLY HARD WHEN SITTING STILL. IF THE AC IS ON, ITS VIRBRATING HARDER, THE FRONT VENTS HAVE QUIT WORKING AND ONLY THE DEFROSTERS AND REAR VENTS WORK. THE CAR LIKES TO DIE AT RED LIGHTS. I SEE THE OIL AND TEMPATURE GAUGE AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE WILL BE NO WARNING IF THE CAR IS TOO HOT AND THE OIL PRESSURE IS TO HIGH.THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON NO MATTER WHAT WE FIX. IT SAYS THE CAR HAD A CYLINDER ONE MISSFIRE. CAN BE CAUSED BY A BAD SPARK PLUG, A BAD COIL OR VACUUM LEAK. REPLACED THE FIRST TWO AND HAD IT INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC FOR THE SECOND. NOTHING. THE COLD TO HOT SETTING ON THE HEAT, ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE LIGHT WORKS, BUT IF I SLIDE THE KNOB UP AND DOWN FAST, THE LIGHT COMES ON. SIGN OF A SHORT. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OUR 2006 ISUZU ASCENDER MADE A LOT NOISE AND STOPPED RUNNING, LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO DRIFT OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH OUT GETTING MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN KILLED. THIS VEHICLE HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED. A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT I WAS TOLD IT WOULD NEED A BRAND NEW ENGINE BECAUSE OF "SUPPOSED" VALUE TAPS AND NOW I BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION BLEW! I AM SO UPSET I HEAR THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION BUT ALL I CAN LOCATE NOW IS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SWITCH RECALL. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT HAS GONE WRONG WITH MY CAR! *TR
