Consumer Description

JAN 2004, I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND DROVE ABOUT 500 FT WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OPERATE ROUGH. I TURNED AROUND TO GO BACK THE PARKING LOT AND WHITE SMOKE (STEAM I BELIEVE) WAS COMING FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE ISUZU DEALER SHIP TOLD THE WARRANTY COMPANY THAT I HAD BEEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND THAT THE ONLY THING TO DO WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THE TEMP GAUGE HAS NEVER READ ABOVE MEDIAN RANGE. I HAD THE HEAD GASKET AND THERMOSTAT REPLACED BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAID THERE WAS NO REASON TO REPLACE THE ENGINE JUST THE GASKETS. NOW, I WAS SETTING IN TRAFFIC 11/2005 AND THE SAME THING STARTED HAPPENING. WHAT IS THE ISSUE WITH THE HEAD GASKET? ARE THEY DEFECTIVE? *JB
