Dt: the contact stated there was a knocking sound in the engine. The dealer has not inspected the vehicle to determine the cause of the problem. A local mechanic said the valves were knocking ,and it could possibly be the lifters.

To start off I was never notified regarding the recall for the timing belt. I just happen to find it myself on the internet doing a search for recalls. I took the vehicle to isuzu and had 2 of the recalls fixed. (timing bet "belt kit" and rear axle "bolt kit") this was on feb, 5 2003 at 88803 miles. On april, 30 2004 at 101660 miles I was driving my husband to the airport and the car died at a turn. "in the middle of the road" numerous attempts to restart the car failed and it was towed to my mechanic. I was thought it may have been bad gas "water in the gas" due to the fact I had just filled up 15 miles prior. To sum it all up the mechanic had to replace the timing belt as it was in shreds. (part is still available if needed) now $226.00 + rental car out of my pocket to fix something that was supposed to be already fixed? I only drove 12,857 before it gave out and was told you shouldn't have to replace a timing belt but every 60,000 miles. . This seems to a serious problem with the 98 amigos and something needs to be done about it! Ps. Contacting isuzu customer relations tomorrow to discuss this matter as I feel I shouldn't have to pay for this.

Sunfoof - clamp has broken off. Seatbelts- driver side latches and comes unlatched while driving, passanger side locks when putting on and while in a sitting position with out car moving. Steering & control- car vibrates, drives rough, pulls and consumes a lot of gas when at hwy miles. Gas gauge- not accurate, gives false readings during drives. Electrical system- several switches not working or have stoped working such as the dome light staying on when in the middle position and the bulb is not blown, interior lights dim while driving and when AC/heat switches are changed along with the stereo light that no longer works but other buttons do. Engine/transmision- light comes on and goes off during drives, started blinking after car was started while car was moving, came on a couple weeks ago and hasn't gone off yet. Cooling & engine- losing radiator fluids, overheating after 2 days of refiling system. Have had a tune up, oil change and systems check and nothing was found? Making an appointment with isuzu asap! Some of these problems I can live with but some could be vary dangerous and I want them fixed for my safty and as well as others.
