“Pcm or powertrain control module error. Obd2 code p0602. As a result was shut off vehicle's all power, all dash light icons were on suddenly. First ABS and then air bag, brake, battery, check engine etc. Vehicle was died in seconds right in the middle of busy highway I-80!! It was horrible. No problem was occurred before. Isuzu company has to be responsible for this. Full maintenance for this car was performed on time as required via Isuzu Axiom manual. I have all records. Several mechanics told me that all isuzus have a similar problem with powertrain control module.”
NHTSA complaint #10554576, filed 2013-12, 97,300 miles“I purchased my 2004 Isuzu Axiom in the spring of 2004. Purchased from stokes mazda Isuzu and app. 6 months ago my vehicle started hesitating when trying to accelerate. When I go to pull off the tachometer jumps to 3 or 4 rpms but the vehicle is not going anywhere. Finally,it will get gas and suddenly take off. I have had my vehicle at 2 different dealers and they put it on their diagnostic system and say nothing is wrong. Something is terribly wrong because the other day as I was pulling across the road it did this to me and I was almost t-boned by another vehicle. …”
