My last few cars have been a 90 Amigo, 97 Rodeo, 00 VX, and now an 01 VX. I have had extreme rudeness and disregard from ISUZU reps with the previous cars. I have not had to have my 01 VX taken in for anything that called for me to contact an ISUZU rep, so I am lucky in that regard. Although, upon acceleration now, I am noticing a high pitch, almost chain sound underneath in the the chassis. I may need to take it in to have that looked at, and I am already preparing for the usually "negative dog and pony show" from the dealer and ISUZU in general. I bought it new with the 10 year/120k mile warranty (overall, does not include everything, of course) and it's only been in my possession for 2 1/2 years, so we will see what comes of this.
Of course, taking it in means removing some of the aftermarket gear and going stock again, but thats just life.
