“My Isuzu Amigo (1999 4wd) stopped dead in traffic while driving with a lot of traffic. I was scared to death and almost hit in multiple directions. The car would not start, would not move, and I had to have it towed on a flatbed truck. I was incredibly traumatized by this incident, and very nearly killed by the semi-truck directly behind me. After contacting multiple persons from Isuzu motors, they assured me that this had happened in most of the engines they had put in this vehicle. …”
