Check engine light came on while vehicle was idling. Took to dealer and he had to reprogram or reboot the computer. (1 day at dealer) subsequently (approx. 6 months) the dash lights failed (no warning lights) dealer reprogrammed/rebooted computer. Problem recurred on trip home so I returned car to dealer. Diagnosed as bad instrument panel - took 6 days to get replacement part. Parts for Isuzu have to be ordered from Isuzu. The exact same part is available from Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and was readily available from any of these but we lost use of our vehicle for 6 days waiting on Isuzu to deliver the part.
