Engine turned off while driving with ignition switch in the run position. After stopping, I had to reinsert the key several times to get it to stay in the run position. It would start easily then stop with switch still on. Mechanic was able to reproduce the problem and replaced ignition switch, no further problems.

What 1996 Isuzu Oasis owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Problems I have had with my 1996 isuzu oasis (same as honda odyssey). 1. The car stalls while driving. This problem has started at 120,000 miles. My father-in-law had honda odyssey 1999 and at 120,000 miles experienced the same problem. My wife and I are afraid to drive the van as it may stall at any time while driving. I see an electrical ignition system switch recall on the 1998 but not the 1996. 2. The SRS warning lamp is illuminated. I see a recall on the 1995's but not the 1996 models. 3. A huge rattle noise when in parking and when going on reverse as well as a clicking noise.
