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.
