2007 Isuzu I-290

THE FIRST TIME THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AN HOUR, AS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS TURNING AND MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED A GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF ISSUES WHERE THE CHEVY COLORADO'S AND GMC CANYON'S HAVE TIMING ISSUES TO THE POINT OF HAVING A SPECIAL TOOL MANUFACTURED JUST FOR THESE REPAIRS. HOWEVER, A SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IT SHUTS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES PER HOUR OR TO A COMPLETE STOP. MY ISUZU TRUCK IS A GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCT AND IS THE SAME TRUCK AS A CHEVY COLORADO AND GMC CANYON. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF INVOLUNTARILY AND GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF IT, TO THE POINT WHERE THEY MANUFACTURE THEIR OWN TOOL. *TR

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 WOULD NOT RESTART. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN LATE AUG./EARLY SEPT. 2011 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE SHAVINGS IN THE ENGINE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, AT MY EXPENSE. I TRIED CALLING THE ISUZU MOTORS OWNERS RELATIONS LINE AND AFTER BEING ON HOLD FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER, ALL THEY WOULD DO IS REFER ME TO A DEALER IN MY AREA. ALSO, I FILED A CLAIM WITH THE AUTO BBB WHO REJECTED MY CLAIM BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. WHICH IS CONFUSING BECAUSE THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WAS STILL ACTIVE WHEN I WENT IN OCT. OF 2010. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 3YRS OLD. I HAD A NEW ENGINE PUT IN AND JUST PICKED UP THE TRUCK ON SATURDAY APRIL 28, 2012. ON APRIL 30TH, WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND THE POWER REDUCED TO 15 MILES AGAIN AND THEN THE TRUCK STALLED. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID THAT THEY ARE GETTING AT LEAST 15 DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC CODES BUT THEY ALL SEEM TO POINT TO THE CAMSHAFT CRANKS. SAME PROBLEM, NEW ENGINE!!!! *JS
