2008 Isuzu Ascender 4dr SUV
285-horsepower 4.2L I6 4-speed automatic RWD
| Isuzu Ascender in New York, United States Mar 2011 - Jun 2022 | |||
| May 201237000 miUS $80 | Front End Alignment , tires have been wearing on the inside edges almost since new. Aligned front end. May have to replace tires before winter. | ||
| Sep 201359000 mi | Mil light it. P0449 code . Evap vent solenoid stuck open. Replaced solenoid. Covered under extended warranty. | ||
| Sep 201474000 miUS $80 | Crappy GM speakers quit , had to replace both back speakers , front is also going so those will get replaced soon also. | ||
| Oct 201474500 miUS $75 | Replaced both front speakers which both crapped out . They must use $2 chinese speakers for standard equipment. Have replaced all 4 now , suspect I will have no more problems with that. | ||
| Dec 201477000 miUS $300 | Emissions, vent evap solenoid , again . | ||
| Mar 201693000 mi | Cracked exhaust manifold that is being repaired under extended warranty from Isuzu/GM . | ||
| May 2018124000 mi | TPMS sensors supposedly bad even though I had replaced them all 1.5 years ago . Dealer said they couldn't talk to them so they replaced all 4 year. 10 minutes into drive home the tpms light comes back on. Took it back, they supposedly relearned them, same thing happens again. they could not fix it talking about replacing LGM for hundreds, uh no. I took it home found out what fuses fed the LGM pulled them for 5 minutes and reinserted and TPMS light has been out ever since . Consequently I believe I believe I got screwed out of $270 for sensors that did not need to be replaced, the liftgate module just needed to be rebooted. | ||
| Apr 2022160000 miUS $311 | Replaced all 4 TPMS sensors which is a useless feature and expensive to fix . | ||

| Jan 200414235 mi | Noticed severe corrosion on the frame stiffner that crosses over the battery. Took to dealer and was informed that they could do nothing as they were no longer an Isuzu dealer. Isuzu is losing dealers everywhere. Be very leary of buying an ISUZU even | ||
| Oct 200924000 miUS $3 | Rear drivers side running light/turn signal burnt out. Based upon my experience this is a recurring problem with GM truck wiring harnesses. Notice how many GM built trucks and SUVs have a burnt out tail light. | ||
| Jul 201029500 miUS $39 | Low beam headlights failed. High beams and fog lights worked OK. Traced the problem via internet and discovered others experiencing same problem had been able to cure it by switching low beam and fan relays. Did this and cured problem. | ||

| Oct 201366000 miUS $700 | This thing is falling apart. Will never buy another GM product. | ||
| Dec 201366000 miUS $300 | Car was returned to dealer after throwing codes. Same two codes that required $1500 in repairs in October 2013. Dealer kept the car a week and told me that I had a burnt valve that would require $2700 worth of work. Engine is toast, Burnt valves at 3 & 6. Oil always changed at 3000 miles, always used branded gas. This GM built Isuzu Badged SUV has exhibited problems form early on attributable to incompetence in design and build. GM sucks,never again! | ||
| Feb 201466300 mi | Throwing codes left and right. Car was lightly used, with ALL maintenance performed on or before scheduled. Dealer can't fix. Put a half quart of Marvel Mystery Oil in the tank and other half in the oil pan. SOB has quit throwing codes. | ||
