2003 Isuzu Ascender review from North America
"May be hazardous to your health!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel tank had to be replaced with less than 500 miles on the car due to a leak.
The car now has 30,000 miles and was recalled due to a possible leak in the fuel tank. The dealer found 2 leaks. The dealer is unable to locate a new tank to put in the car. It has now been at the dealer for over a week because they will not allow it to be driven off the lot due to the possibility that it may catch on fire. Beware- Isuzu does not offer loaner cars or pay for a rental.
General comments?
Overall, I have always been happy with the handling, comfort, and size of the car. It has been a great SUV for my busy family. However, Isuzu's policies and inability to get parts will keep me from ever buying another Isuzu product.
