Replying to: jgalens (Oct 23, 2005 4:39 pm) We took a couple of trips in ours, one to Las Vegas and the other to Texas. For something being on a "truck chassy", very, very smooth ride. Replies to this message: jgalens (Nov 02, 2005 5:29 pm)

I said he was deaf and blind then. I contacted the local union in Moraine Oh and they are working on it with the QA manager. He was disgusted with Isuzu for not having another way to complain.
#280 of 296 Speedometer is crazy by sagiascender Dec 16, 2005 (6:07 am)
I have an '03 with 66k miles. The speedometer and odometer have become erratic. The needle sometimes reads 20+ mph below the actual speed of the car (The cop said I was clocked at over 80 but my gauge read between 55 and 60.) We restarted the vehicle and it reset itself. Now, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it will just stick at a certain reading. If I'm on the freeway when it happens, I usually have to watch the speed of the traffic to make sure I'm not going to fast or slow. Last night it stuck at about 45mph even though I was matching the speeds of the other cars on a stretch of road with a posted 60pmh. Eevn when I come to a stop, it stays stuck. Took it to a dealer last week and they don't know what's wrong with it and don't have the "special tools" required to test it. Any advice or shared experience would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: sagiascender (Dec 16, 2005 6:07 am) I believe it is out of warranty and you have to pay for it yourself? If you took it to an Isuzu dealer, try a GM dealer. The Ascender, of course, is a GM product. They certainly should have the "special tools." In addition, much of the problems on these vehicles seem to be "software" related and the speedo is electronic. It may be a known problem. Try posting your question on the Buick Rainier, Chevy TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy forum. Replies to this message: sagiascender (Dec 16, 2005 2:34 pm)

Replying to: makaye (Dec 16, 2005 8:01 am) Thank you for taking the time to reply, makaye. So far, none of the Isuzu dealers I've spoken with in this state, and in California, have ever replaced a speedo in an Ascender. I'm gonna check with the other companies as you mentioned. Thanks.

Replying to: steve_ (Dec 21, 2005 5:49 pm) Sounds like just another nail in the coffin of Isuzu USA, sad to say...   I understand that Toyota is taking over part of the old Isuzu/Subaru plant in Indiana. http://blogs.edmunds.com/Straightline/Comments/274
#285 of 296 Just purchased '03 Ext. S Loaded. Any Advice? by geekbros Jan 17, 2006 (12:08 am)
Greetings,   I just purchased a 2003 Ascender Extended Loaded S model. It's got high miles (144,000) but other than that, it's in mint condition. There are a few things wich made me feel comfortable about buying it even though it has the miles: Carfax checked out 100% The dealer I got it from, took it in on trade from the original owner for another Ascender. All the miles are highway oriented. I purchased a 2 yr./24,000 mile power-train warranty. The price was $8,900!   Are there any hints or fore-warnings you all can lend me that might help regarding this year, model, pkg., etc.?   Thanks, Steve

"Isuzu dealers sold just 638 vehicles in the U.S. in May, down 48 percent from the previous year."   Judging by the activity in here, it's about time to shut the barn door.   Isuzu's 2007 Line May Be Final Year in U.S. (Inside Line)   Steve, Host Replies to this message: steve_ (Apr 09, 2007 12:05 pm)
