I have been adding 1-2 quarts of oil every 5,000 miles. Dealership says they cannot find problem. Check engine light came on and they say that the problem is the valve which is not covered under powertrain warranty costing me $470. And they still don't know why I had to add two quarts over the last 2500 miles.

In february 2003, I brought my 2000 isuzu into a mechanic shop to have the intake gasket, upper and lower replaced, after owning my vehicle for only six months. At that time my engine light had come on and stayed on. After having the intake gasket repaired the light remained on. I was told by the mechanic that there was a wiring problem and it would cost more to fix it or I could just ignore it. Now, six months later, I have a blown engine. I was informed that my vehicle had used four quarts of oil in less than 3000 miles. I never received a warning indicating my oil was low. The mechanic informed me my vehicle had been burning the oil, no leaking it, because it was apparent by the appearance of the muffler.

This intermittent problem could cause someone to get injured if they are in freeway traffic and the vehicle will only go 25 MPH!!! This vehicle has an intermittent problem of stalling when stopped at intersections (vehicle is idling). The car can be resstarted immediatly. However, after starting it has little power and the maximum speed is 25 MPH. Both the "check engine" and the "reduced power warning indicator lights" come on. It has been to two dealers a total of 6 times and they have not resolved the problem. I am afraid to drive the vehicle as I have been in 50 MPH traffic going only 25 MPH and feared for my safety. I would appreciate your review. The dealer has replaced the throttle plate, re-wired the wiring harness and made other adjustments. They still cannot fix the problem. This needs investigation! Thanks

Engine check engine light kept coming on intermittently back in october (about once a week for three weeks) told that it was a problem with our foot touching the accelerator before starting the car. Came on again and I drove it right in and they said they couldn't find anything. Watch our driving habits! Came on and stayed on for 9 days straight. Brought it out and dealer said it didn't happen when they had it but after doing the oil change they started up the car and said that it came on and needed a throttle adjustment. Brought it back out for the throttle adjustment and problem seemed to have dissappeared. One day it came back on again. Brought it out and the computer acknowledged another minor adjustment to the throttle was needed. They did this and the problem seemed to have gone away. Monday, january 29, the check engine light came on again. Thursday, february 1, it came on and simultaneously the reduced power light came on. This time dealers came and got the car and five trouble codes registered on the computer. Fixed problem again and reset the computer. I have had it! There is no rhyme to reason as to why this happens and we don't know when it will! I cannot rely on this car!
