2007 ISUZU I-290 Electrical System Problems

THIS TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED AN INTERMITTEN STARTING PROBLEM. AMBIENT TEMPERTURE SEEMS TO HAVE SOME BEARING ON THE FREQUENCY OF THE OCCURANCE, FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I VISITED COLORODO HAVING MUCH LOWER TEMPERATURE THAN IN SOUTH TEXAS, I HAD ZERO OCCURANCES AND WHEN I RETURNED TO HIGH 80 PLUS TEMPURATURES THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME A DAILY IF NOT EVERY RESTART INCONVIENCE. HAVING TO WAIT FROM 10 TO 20 MINS. BEFOR TRYING TO RESTART THE ENGINE. ONCE STARTED IT RUNS LIKE A TOP EVEN RESTARTING IMMEDIATELY AFTER ACCIDENTAL CLUTCH DUMP STALL ISSUES. GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY IS NOT AN OPTION ANY MORE AND I HESITATE TO TAKE PASSENGERS OR PETS ANYWHERE I GO. WITH TEMPERATURES APPROACHING THE TRIPLE DIDGETS IT HAS BECOME A HEALTH SAFTEY ISSUE. TRYING TO REMIDY THIS INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM I EXPERIMENTED WITH SPRAYING CARB CLEANER IN THE AIR INTAKE WITH GOOD RESULTS....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 ISUZU I-290. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR WIRING HARNESS WAS COMING APART AND CAUSED THE SPEAKERS, INTERIOR LIGHTING, AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING TO MALFUNCTION. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR POWER WINDOW AND POWER LOCK SWITCH IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND VEHICLE HAS A SLOW BATTERY DRAIN REQUIRING A JUMP START IF IT SITS FOR LONGER THAN ONE DAY. EVEN ONE DAY IS QUESTIONABLE FOR STARTING WITHOUT A JUMP. DOOR IS VERY WARM AROUND THE AREA OF THE FOR SWITCH MODULE, INDICATING A SHORT OR OTHER ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. GM HAS ALREADY RECALLED THE SUVS (CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, GMC ENVOY, ISUZU ASCENDER) BASED UPON THIS PLATFORM FOR FAULTY DRIVER'S DOOR SWITCH MALFUNCTIONS THAT PRESENTED WITH SAME INTERMITTENT FUNCTION AND INTERNAL SHORT CIRCUIT. THIS FAULTY DOOR SWITCH ULTIMATELY CAUSED FIRES IN THE SUV VERSIONS OF THESE VEHICLES, HOPEFULLY THE TRUCKS CAN BE RECALLED/REPAIRED BEFORE ANYONE EXPERIENCES A FIRE BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

THE PASSLOCKII SYSTEM LOCKS OUT THE IGNITION SO IT WON'T START. THIS WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST BUT HAS BECOME A DAILY OCCURRENCE. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THEM. THIS SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND THE MANUFACTURER KNEW IT WHEN THEY MADE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY PUT A NOTE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL TO LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR 10-15 MINUTES AND TRY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS GOTTEN RIDICULOUS. THE ISUZU ASSISTANCE LINE BASICALLY TOLD US TOUGH [XXX]. IF WE DIDN'T LIKE IT THEN GO TO THE DEALER AND PAY TO FIX IT. IT IS A FAULTY SYSTEM AND WE CANNOT AFFORD THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO INSTALL A REPLACEMENT SYSTEM WHICH WILL DO THE SAME THING OVER TIME. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS EXTENSIVELY ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON GM VEHICLES WITH THEIR PASSLOCK II SYSTEM. AND NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE...
