NHTSA Complaint #10884113 — 2006 ISUZU ASCENDER

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY ON. I'VE GOTTEN IT CHECKED BY 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I'VE GOTTEN THE SAME RESPONSE FROM EACH. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A MISFIRE, I NEEDED AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SEND UNIT, OXYGEN SENSOR BANK1/BANKA, AND THAT THE OIL WAS LEAKING BAD FROM AROUND THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. I GOT THE COILS CHANGED, SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES DONE, CHANGED THE OIL PRESSURE AND OXYGEN SENSORS TOO. ABOUT A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THAT THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON WITH THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING. THE OIL WAS FINE SO I TOOK IT TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON IT AND TOOK IT FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THE AGAIN NEEDED AN OXYGEN SENSOR AND OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SENDING UNIT. I CHANGED THEM AGAIN AND THEY USED THREADING TAPE FOR THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR TO STOP THE LEAKING OF OIL. I'VE SPENT AROUND $800 SO FAR AND 2 MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT IS BACK ON NEEDING THE SAME THINGS, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND OXYGEN SENSOR. I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED WITH A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THAT MAYBE IT'S A DEFECT IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM OR SOMETHING ELECTRICAL THAT KEEP TAKING OUT THOSE SENSORS BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING FINE. WHEN I START MY VEHICLE UP FROM SITTING OVER NIGHT, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAY ON AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING STAYS ON WHILE IDLING. WHEN I START DIVING THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING GOING OFF UNTIL I STOP, THEN IT'S BACK ON. I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF IF I'M STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THEN BACK ON TO FINISH DRIVING. IF I DRIVE FOR ABOUT 15 OR 20 MINUTES, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING STAYS OFF UNTIL I START IT UP AGAIN THE NEXT TIME. IT MIGHT BE A DEFECT WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND HOPE SOMEONE WILL FIND THE CAUSE BECAUSE TO KEEP GETTING THE SAME REPAIRS OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS EXPENSIVE. ITS $150 JUST TO HAVE THE OXYGEN SENSOR CHANGED NOT INCLUDING THE PART AND THE PART IS $65, AND IF GOING TO CAR DEALERS IS DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THAT AMOUNT. PROBLEMS FROM 2014 TIL CURRENT
