Hi Laurie,
B and G said my 2001 had some level of warrentee ending at 3 years or 36,000 mi. I was at 3 years and 3 months with 35900, when I drove in. I left the rims for the Izusu rep to see. Two weeks later they had new rims for me. I bot the extended warrentee from Isuzu for $1300 and it is called a WRAP policy on the docs. I asked about how to go after my water leak and a 1441 check engine light that I have had for a long time. They said I would have to leave the car and get a rental. The issues may or may not be covered, I can't get a straight answer without jumping in. What I get for the WRAP policy is not clear.
I would hope with you living closer to the dealer, you may get a faster response, which I will be following closely. Mike has been my contact. You might remind him I was in with the same problems 2 weeks ago.
I had rubber mats, so I did not notice the water for some time. I pulled the seat out, (4 bolts with Loc-Tite) and the door sill plastic. I used bath towels to wick out the water over two days. I then found the padding and foam block under the seat was also wet. Everything is dry now with no bad smell. Cool weather must have stopped the mold growth. I am now parking inside until I can pull off the windshield coweling and look for gap in the firewall to fender seal.
Closing the car and running the heater fan. Squirting soapy water around the suspect joints and searching for bubbles, has been suggested.
