Driving at night on highway and my exterior lights will go completely off and only my high beams will come on but that's it. They'll come back on usually when I get to where I'm going and park the car but driving on the highway at night and all of the sudden your headlights go out IS extremely dangerous. On three different occasions both the high beam and low beams went out. But on most occasions and now every occasion while driving at night the regular lowbeam headlights just go out randomly

TL* the contact owns a 2005 isuzu ascender. While driving various speeds, the vehicle made a loud abnormal noise underneath the hood of the vehicle. The wires on the driver side headlights melted. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the intake manifold gasket was fractured and the headlights failed, all of which needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired a total of three times for the intake manifold gasket and twice for the headlights within the past three years; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The lights go off while driving at night. it IS the same problem as with the ascender 2006-2008 recall, but does not include the 2005. the hdm has gone out. It has happened several times in the past 4 months only to go out and not come back on this last time 03/01/2016. I should not have to pay to have it replaced. I noticed on the internet that other people have had the same problem with the car prior to 2006 model. They should cover the cost on this car since it IS the exact same problem as the recall 14v755000 11/26/2014 and second notice of recall 08/18/2015. The 2005 model should be included.

I was driving our car ( 2005 isuzu ascender), having just exited the highway I was only going around 5- 8 mph when out of no where and with no reason the side, and rear airbags unexpectedly deployoed. There was no reason for them to have deployed, no accident, impact, bumps or anything. One minute everything was fine the next there was a loud sound and the cabin filled with airbags and a horrible smell thankfully my children were not in the car because the way they exploded it would have surely caused them physical harm. Upon the airbags unexpectedly deploying the seatbelts locked up completely.

Vehicle suddenly 'shuttered' at 65mph on the tollway and the instrument panel failed completely, indicating brake system failure. Concurrently, indicator light for rear drive train also showing failure. Unsure if these issues were related or coincidental. Diagnostics/testing by mechanic resulted in replacement of several electrical system parts, including a/c delco trans selector switch; a/c delco speed sensor; a/c delco ignition switch, and repair of 4-wheel drive engine harness, totaling expense of $808.37. since repair, no further incident has occurred with these components. While it IS clear that would seem related to gm ignition switch recall, there IS no published indication that gm suv's produced under the isuzu name-plate have been included in the recall, as they should be. *tr

On 11/27/13 I was traveling from minneapolis mn to omaha ne for the holiday weekend. I had just left a rest stop on hwy 35 southbound. at one point I happened to routinely scan the instrument cluster and suddenly noticed that, according to the gauge, my engine oil pressure was showing 60+ psi and was continuing to rise. I quickly pulled off on the highway shoulder and shut the engine down. the gauge now read over "80". I got out and checked under the hood, but found nothing unusual. note: when the gauge went crazy, there were no other warning light or indicators. I got back in the vehicle and it started normally and the engine sounded fine. I proceeded into mason city ia and found a gm dealer. there were no mechanics present, but a helpful sales person took alook at the gauge and said it was probably a faulty step motor in the gauge or a bad sender unit. in either case, he said it was ok to drive to omaha, but suggested stopping at a gm dealer in omaha on friday, after thanksgiving. I did take the vehicle to a gm dealer on friday and a mechanic checked the gauge and said that it was a faulty stepper motor in the gauge. he said gm has had all kinds of trouble with the instrument clusters on the mid-size suvs that were manufactured from about 2003 through about 2007. he said I should check with a gm dealer back in minneapolis to see whether gm IS covering my bad gauge. he said that I was lucky that my first bad gauge in the cluster was oil pressure, rather than speedometer or gas gauge. on return to minneapolis, a local gm dealer confirmed that the stepper motor in my oil pressure gauge was defective, but checked and said it wasn't covered by any gm warranty. he said that the instrument cluster could be rehabbed (all stepper motors replaced) for about $600. research indicates that gm has been aware of this problem for years but has offered little relief. *tr

The subject vehicles are model year (MY) 2002-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2004-2007 Buick Rainier, 2003-2008 Isuzu Ascender, 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X, 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003-2006 Chevrolet SSR, 2005-2009 Buick Lacrosse, and 2006-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix. This scope includes the Trailblazer/Envoy variants: 2002-2006 Envoy XL/Trailblazer EXT and 2004-2005 Envoy XUV. The original scope of this investigation was expanded to include all vehicles equipped with the subject Headlight Driver Module (HDM). The focus of the investigation was to determine whether actions performed by General Motors adequately addressed any unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety in the subject vehicles concerning the headlights and the HDM that controls them.Under normal electrical load and environmental conditions, the HDM can overheat inside the Underhood Electrical Center (UEC). This can cause the module to fail and result in a simultaneous loss of both low beam headlights and both daytime running lights (DRLs), often with no warning or prior detectability to the driver. This failure can be intermittent or permanent. No other exterior lights are affected. High beams, turn signals, brake lights, and reverse lights are still operational.General Motors addressed this issue with 2 recalls (14V755 & 15V519) and a special coverage program (N172091910). In view of the recalls and special coverage program implemented by GM and the vehicle high beams continuing to operate, ODI has tentatively concluded that the actions taken by GM mitigate any unreasonable risk to safety posed by HDM failure in the subject vehicles.Accordingly, the investigation is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances.The ODI reports cited above are available for review online at NHTSA.gov under the identification numbers in the attached document.
