Isuzu Ascender check engine light comes on

Filed Jul 11, 2016 · Driver assistance · TN

My check engine light has been constantly on. I've gotten it checked by 3 different people. I've gotten the same response from each. I was told that I had a misfire, I needed an oil pressure sensor/send unit, oxygen sensor bank1/banka, and that the oil was leaking bad from around the oil pressure sensor. I got the coils changed, spark plugs and wires done, changed the oil pressure and oxygen sensors too. About a couple months after that the light was back on with the low oil pressure warning. The oil was fine so I took it to have a diagnostic done on it and took it for a second opinion and the again needed an oxygen sensor and oil pressure sensor/sending unit. I changed them again and they used threading tape for the oil pressure sensor to stop the leaking of oil. I've spent around $800 so far and 2 months later the light is back on needing the same things, oil pressure sensor and oxygen sensor. I took it to have it checked with a second opinion and was told that maybe it's a defect in the computer system or something electrical that keep taking out those sensors because everything else is working fine. When I start my vehicle up from sitting over night, the engine light comes on and stay on and the low oil pressure warning stays on while idling. When I start diving the low oil pressure warning going off until I stop, then it's back on. I cut the vehicle off if I'm stopped at a traffic light then back on to finish driving. If I drive for about 15 or 20 minutes, the low oil pressure warning stays off until I start it up again the next time. It might be a defect within the system and hope someone will find the cause because to keep getting the same repairs over and over again is expensive. Its $150 just to have the oxygen sensor changed not including the part and the part is $65, and if going to car dealers is double or triple that amount. Problems from 2014 til current

The check engine light( thermostat), speedometer, fuel gauge and now the oil pressure gauge have stopped working or work sporadically and inaccurately. These problems are listed in order of failure and they started at approximately 85,000mi and the last was at 106,000 miles. If I had known this vehicle was made by gm, I would not have bought it. It will definitely be the last gm product in my household. I have had many and all but one had numerous problems. A footnote: a part of the gearshift linkage broke at approx. 95,000mi.

Had check engine light come on and had checked out. Code brought up said gas cap problem. Replaced gas cap and went away for a week. Had problem come back and asked mechanic and said it was a common problem on these vehicles. Mechanic also said it could be connection to fuel tank from gas fill tube. Had checked out and was ok. Put on new gas cap again and went away for another week and came back. Done with it. Tired of putting money into a problem that won't go away.

I have a 2004 isuzu ascender. My check engine light came on so I took it to a dealer to have it checked out. I was told that the car had a fuel thank inlet fracture. A service bulletin was released but no recall. I bought this car brand new, it will cost me $2178.33 +tax to have it repaired.after doing some research I have found other owners with the same problem. I think that something should b done about this. I contacted an authorized dealer and my car is not in the recall models. I think that this a manufacture' problem and it should be taken care of beofre something serious happens

Continuous gas smell in and around automobile when starting the engine. Engine light came on in jan 2013 although the smell has been present for many years. Took auto to repair shop and discovered that their was a sizeable crack at the opening of the gas tank. Around 1,500 dollars later a new gas tank, new fuel pump assembly, I find it hard to believe there is no recall on this part from gm, especially since searching the internet and discovering how many have reported this same exact issue and the scary thought that the car could have blown up and any time. A class action suit needs to be filed against gm.
