Check engine light came on while vehicle was idling. Took to dealer and he had to reprogram or reboot the computer. (1 day at dealer) subsequently (approx. 6 months) the dash lights failed (no warning lights) dealer reprogrammed/rebooted computer. Problem recurred on trip home so I returned car to dealer. Diagnosed as bad instrument panel - took 6 days to get replacement part. Parts for Isuzu have to be ordered from Isuzu. The exact same part is available from Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and was readily available from any of these but we lost use of our vehicle for 6 days waiting on Isuzu to deliver the part.

Ascender 6-cyl

Instrument panel began working intermittently. Took in for check. Dealer repaired. Left dealer and instrument panel failed again within 15 minutes. Returned to dealer and had to wait for (8) days for replacement dash module. Car was unsafe and undrivable as no information (speed, gear location, etc.) was available to driver. This vehicle is a GM product and is the same as trailblazer, Envoy, etc. I have been told by Envoy owners that they have experienced the same problem, trailblazers also. Dealer service rep stated to me that GM knows there is a problem with the instrument modules. This complaint form does not allow for the identification of the manufacturer of this vehicle. It is manufactured by General Motors. I had to select Isuzu manufacturing due to your error in programming drop downs correctly. Isuzu has no manufacturing facilities in North America. Please update your information. If this vehicle is not classified as a GM product it will reduce the failure incidence of the GM instrument panels.

The vehicle has been at the service dealer since Dec 16, 2005 and the consumer was not given a time frame for repairs. The technician indicated that the problem seemed to be with the multi-relay and electrical system.
