While putting sunroof back on vehicle it exploded, consumer received cuts to face/ neck and legs. *ak

Engine knocks (pings) under load 2300-3000 rpm's. Dealer reprogramed computer, but the knock was still present. Thought it might be bad gas, and suggested i try using 89 octane instead of 87. The 1989 octane slove the problem for about 2500 miles, but now the knocking is back. I would guess that the 1989 octane was only masking the problem as it continued to get worse.*ak

Accessive engine knock at high rpm. Isuzu said it's normal. *ak

My wife and daughter were involved in a crash with our 2000 isuzu amigo. My wife impacted a vehicle which had crashed into another vehicle at approximately 25 mph. Neither air bag deployed nor did the seat belt tighten up to restrain my wife, which resulted in her impacting the steering wheel. At the same time, the drivers seat moved forward and did not remain stationary.
