2007 Isuzu I-290 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. IT STARTS AND DIES WHEN THE SPRAY IS USED UP. THIS LED ME TO BELIEVE I HAD A FAULTY FUEL PUMP WHICH I REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL OEM PARTS. THE PUMP WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. WORD ON THE INTERNET IS THE PASSLOK II SYSTEM IS AT FAULT AND WAS KNOWN AT THE MANUFACTURE BEFORE SALES OF THIS TRUCK. THERE…”

“I PURCHASED MY ISUZU I-290 IN 2007. WHEN I PURCHASED, MONTHS LATER I REFUELED MY CAR AND IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER. IT EVENTUALLY STARTED. AS THE YEARS PROGRESSES SINCE THEN THE OCCURS HAPPEN MORE OFTEN . IT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A ONE EVERY 5 MONTHS OCCURRENCE TO A TWICE A WEEK REGIMEN. OR WHEN EVER I GET GAS, THE CARD DOES NOT WANT TO START. I CAN BEGIN TO CRANK IT BUT IT DOESN'T TURN OVER. I HAVE REPLACED MY CRANK SENSOR, CATALYTIC CONVERTER/EXHAUST MANIFOLD, THE PROBLEM PERSIST. I HAVE TRIED SEARCHES FOR OTHERS ON GOOGLE WITH INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES LIKE MINE, AND THERE ARE MANY THAT ARE POSTED. *TR”

“THE FIRST TIME THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AN HOUR, AS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS TURNING AND MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED A GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF ISSUES WHERE THE CHEVY COLORADO'S AND GMC CANYON'S HAVE TIMING ISSUES TO THE POINT OF HAVING A SPECIAL TOOL MANUFACTURED JUST FOR THESE REPAIRS. HOWEVER, A SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IT SHUTS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES PER HOUR OR TO A COMPLETE STOP. MY ISUZU TRUCK IS A GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCT AND IS THE SAME TRUCK AS A CHEVY COLORADO AND GMC CANYON. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF INVOLUNTARILY AND GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF IT, TO THE POINT WHERE THEY MANUFACTURE THEIR OWN TOOL. *TR”

“I TOOK MY 2007 ISUZU I-290 TRUCK INTO DEALER BACK IN DEC. OF 2010 BECAUSE THE REDUCE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 15 MILES/HR. WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING THE ENGINE WOULD JUST KILL. STILL UNDER WARRANTY WITH APPROX 68,000 MILES, I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS, ALL THEY DID WAS CHANGE THE CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR. 5 MONTHS LATER, I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. DIAGNOSTIC READINGS CAME BACK THAT SENSORS NEEDED CHANGING. I REPLACED BOTH SENSORS BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE KILLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN LATE AUG./EARLY SEPT. 2011 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE SHAVINGS IN THE ENGINE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, AT MY EXPENSE. I TRIED CALLING THE ISUZU MOTORS OWNERS RELATIONS LINE AND AFTER BEING ON HOLD FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER, ALL THEY WOULD DO IS REFER ME TO A DEALER IN MY AREA. ALSO, I FILED A CLAIM WITH THE AUTO BBB WHO REJECTED MY CLAIM BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. WHICH IS CONFUSING BECAUSE THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WAS STILL ACTIVE WHEN I WENT IN OCT. OF 2010. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 3YRS OLD. I HAD A NEW ENGINE PUT IN AND JUST PICKED UP THE TRUCK ON SATURDAY APRIL 28,…”
