The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
As another complainant listed, this car is a lemon! huge electrical issues with the mode selector shift switch; automatic transmission will be in drive but dash indicator light will say neutral; cost to fix problem was $ including a new transmission because bad switch ruined the transmission! no help from GM/Isuzu owner relations. Told me it was my own fault for not taking care of the vehicle and that I should not have bought a used vehicle. I have record of all maintenance done on vehicle including transmission flushes. Dealer service told me they change at least 5 of these switches a month and as many as 2-3 a week at times but couldn't tell me when this started what my problem was. The transmission had to go bad and be replaced before it was evident to anyone what the problem was. Not acceptable! this should be a recall and a properly designed switch put in. Owner relations made no effort to be civil much less helpful in any way! my car had problems at 60000 miles and a new transmission put on at 72000 miles - unacceptable!

1999 Isuzu transmission control harness may be burned through by the exhaust system and cause electrical and transmission shifting problems, thereby causing smoke to be emitted from underneath the carriage system. Dealer expects owner to pay for "defective" transmission range switch, which may be caused by unshielded transmission control harness.

This car is a lemon. There seem to be major electrical issues. The dash lights are going out, there is a problem with the power shift indicator - the car can be in "drive", yet the indicator will have "neutral" displayed. This causes the car to jerk while shifting. The rear suspension has a vibrating sound no one has figured out......the dealer claims the suspension is fine. In addittion, the rear drum brakes continually go out.
