THE GAUGE CLUSTER IS MALFUNCTIONING
The low beams on my headlights will go out without warning while driving at night. My daytime running lights also will turn off without warning and turn back on but this is not as much of a safety issue as when it happens during nighttime driving. Sometimes my headlights will not work from the moment I start my car but most of the time they shut off during driving. I can switch the headlights to high beams and they typically work fine. Only once have I had both high and low beams out at the same time. When that...

happened I parked my car and let it sit. When I started my car after about 30 min to an hour both high and low beams were working again. My headlights will go out while I'm driving in the city, in the countryside, on the highway or on residential streets, after driving for a while or even when I first start my vehicle after it had been sitting for several hours. The reason for my headlights spontaneously going out is unknown. The part that causing the problem is unknown. It does, however, seem to be very similar to issues that has caused gm to do a recall on other gm vehicles which includes 2006-2009 (?) Isuzu ascenders but does not include my 2004 isuzu ascender. The first time that I experienced this was back in january 2017. The last time that I experienced this was last night, may 4, 2017.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 isuzu ascender. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle decelerated without warning. The failure occurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the bank one sensor was running rich and the bank two sensor was running lean. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.
Recall has been issued on faulty gas tank. Had car inspected by isuzu facility 2/4/16 and new part(s) ordered. Cannot get any information as to when part will be in and my car repaired. In the meantime, driving with faulty, gas-leaking, probably dangerous car. Gm apparently not communicating with isuzu and parts not getting produced.
While driving my cars brakelight came on and the car started to accelerate faster and faster. Pullled over as soon as I could and stopped the car and turned the engine off. The check gauges warning light comes on even when the car is sitting idle or when I pull up and stop at a red light it comes on.
Fuel tank has leaking seals, which is causing fuel to leak and the smell of fuel into cabin area of vehicle and vehicle rejected during state inspection. Part not available until after may.Took it to repair facility, was told it was unsafe to drive then was told to come pick up the vehicle. Isuzu unwilling to offer any assistance
