Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 ISUZU VEHICROSS WITH 107,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS NEVER GIVEN TROUBLE UNTIL NOW. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN METICULOUS ABOUT OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES IF NOT SOONER. I HAD AN COMPLETE OIL CHANGE 2 WEEKS AGO. YESTERDAY SAW OIL LIGHT FLICKERING AND ADDED 2 QTS OIL IMMEDIATELY. DROVE A COUPLE BLOCKS AND SAW OIL LIGHT FLICKERING AGAIN. PULLED INTO GARAGE AND THEY SAID "BONE DRY"! ADDED 3.5 QTS OIL RIGHT THEN. DROVE LESS THAN 1 MILE ONTO EXPRESSWAY ENTRY RAMP- CAR STOPPED DEAD RIGHT THERE! - I COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN KILLED BY SEMI BEARING DOWN BEHIND ME AT 55 MPH. LUCKILY I ESCAPED WITH MY LIFE BUT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED ANYWHERE: ON THE EXPRESSWAY FOR EXAMPLE AND I WOULD TODAY BE DEAD. CAUSE: SEIZED ENGINE FROM LACK OF OIL. TWO WEEKS AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AND ONLY AN HOUR AFTER 5.5 QTS OIL HAD BEEN ADDED: BONE DRY AGAIN. I'M TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ISUZU OWNERS AND THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY MAKE. I TOLD ISUZU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST ME. COST OF NEW ENGINE TO ME: $5,500! I HAVE LOAN ON THIS CAR FOR $6,600 ALREADY AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE. THE CONSUMER IS AGAIN LEFT STRAPPED TO DEAL WITH THIS FAULT MANUFACTURING. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL. *NM
