T he "reduced power" light comes on and acceleration is reduced down to 10-15 MPH. This is extremely hazardous ,since I never know when this will happen. I have many close call accidents from this, I have taken it to a service station and they can not diagnose the problem . Please advise! I'm desperate. I'm 62years old and disabled and need a vehicle that's dependable to carry my grandchildren in, and go to my may dr. Appointments.

My 2001 isuzu rodeo that I have had for 9 years has never really given me any problems until this year. This exact incident has occurred on three different occasions now. I will be driving, the speed does not matter, sometimes it is 30, 50, or 80 MPH, and the car will just start losing power. First the dash and all my gauges will go out, then the motor will start to sound funny and start losing power. Then as I make it to the side (thankfully every time) it just stops running and everything shuts off. I try to re-crank it and it won't turn over. I will turn my flashers on and even then they run at an extremely reduced rate and sometimes not at all. I have replaced my battery, the wiring to my alternator, my alternator, and my egr valve. I don't know what else to fix and I need the problem diagnosed so I'm not spending money fixing things I don't need and spend money on the actual issue getting fixed.

We purchased a 2001 isuzu rodeo on november 23 2012 we did not drive the vehicle very much and december 14 2012 I turned a corner and the reduced power light came on and I could not go over 40 MPH the code showed up for the throttle position sensor and the agr valve we replaced both and this did not correct the problem I looked up online about the problem and found out that there is a known wiring issue and we found the known area (diagram)online and we did find were someone had tried to fix the wires after moving the wires around slightly the reduced power light went off. The car was unusable for the month of december we were able to use it in jan. Of 2013 but we were using the car in feb 2013 we were going up an incline and the reduced power light came back on and again we could not go over 40 MPH we got home and we moved the wires and the light went off we used the car a twice then the third time we used the car we hit a small pot hole while turning a corner and the reduced power light came back on and again could not go over 40 MPH we have not been able to use the car since this. I turned on the vehicle to see if the light went off and while in park it tried to excellerate on its own and we have not been able to find the wiring problem yet .if this is a know problem why has there not been a recall .

I purchased my 2001 isuzu rodeo used in april 2012, about a week after I had the vehicle it started stalling out while I was driving, loosing complete power for a few moments then would jerk and continue going. I also noticed when I would hit a small bump and try to apply the brakes I heard a grinding noise and it would not stop for a few feet, even with the brake all the way to the floor. Also when I stop I hear a popping noise in the rear, everytime I stop. Now the vehicle is completely dying at random times. It will die when I am on the interstate going a steady speed, or accelerating. Also when I come close to a complete stop to turn the vehicle will die. I put it in neutral and it starts right back up and jerks while speeding up. I have almost t-boned someone due to the car dying and the loss of power steering. Also I have almost been rear ended numerous times because of the car stalling out and also dying. Also after having the car a couple weeks the speedometer and odometer quit working and the light for the speedometer will not work either.

Recurring reduced power light comes on and the car will not move faster than 10 MPH, effectively disabling vehicle, could be very dangerous; the "problem" comes and goes at random.
