My car stalls in traffic due to a defective intake manifole gasket. I have been left stranded in traffic, unable to restart my vehicle. This is an unsafe condition entirely caused by a manufactoring defect. Isuzu is aware of this defect and has repaired many free of charge under a secret plan that is not known to the public. I had my car dianoised at mike raisor Isuzu imports (lafayette, Indiana) and was informed that even though I owned this car from 2005 at 51000 miles Isuzu will apply this service bullition repair.

The consumer had to refill the vehicle with oil every 1,000 miles. The dealership informed the consumer that the problem was pertaining to the oil burning quickly. The mechanic did not resolve the problem.

I have to add oil twice between my 4000 mile oil changes. I have been required to do this since the 30000 mile mark. The dealer(s) claim the engine is designed to 'use' up to 1 quart every thousand miles!!! sounds like a design flaw to me.
