2004 ISUZU ASCENDER Complaints

MY TRANSMISSION HAS HAD TO BE FIX 3 TIMES 2 OF THOSE TIME ME AND MY 5 CHILDREN WHERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR STOPPED PICKING UP SPEED AND WE HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE. MY BACK VENTS FOR MY A/C DO NOT WORK, THE BACK DOOR OPENS ALL THE TIME ONE TIME IT OPENED AND ALL OUR GROCERIES FELL OUT AND WHEN I TRY TO PUMP GAS INTO MY CAR IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER THE PUMP WOULD STOP LIKE IT WAS FULL BUT NOW IT JUST SPILLS OUT AND MY CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS SO BAD ON THE INSIDE I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT ANYMORE. IT'S ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND IT'S ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER.
