I HAVE A 2002 ISUZU RODEO. I WAS COMING FROM A GAS STATION GETTING READY TO TURN ONTO THE STREET WHEN MY VEHICLE JUST DIED..IT WAS PUSHED TO A SIDE STREET AND LEFT. WE WENT BACK ABOUT ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATER AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THEN THE NEXT DAY IT DIED ON THE STREET AGAIN WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE WHOLE VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN, YOU COULDN'T EVEN JUMP IT.

DT: CONTACT STATES WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING BEING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE LOCAL SERVICE DEALER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED, BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN.*AK

I HAVE LESS THAN 55,000 MILES ON MY 2002 RODEO. A MONTH AGO WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE GEAR SHIFT FROM 1 TO 2ND WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THE TRUCK WOULD SHAKE AND SHUDDER AND START TO STALL BEFORE KICKING INTO GEAR - MAKING MY INABILITY TO OPERATE VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO ACCIDENTS (LUCKILY I HAD NONE). I TOOK TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION MY BE SHOT COMPLETELY - I HAD LEAKED 4 QRTS OF FLUID WITH NO INDICATION THAT I WAS LOW. WHEN HE ORDERED THE PART FROM THE LOCAL DEALER - HE ADMITTED TO ME THAT WITH OTHER VEHICLES IT IS RARE THAT THESE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND NEED TO BE BACK ORDERED AND THAT B/C THEY HAD ON HAND THIS MUST BE A COMMON PROBLEM. HE SEALED THE LEAKS (THERE WERE SEVERAL). HOWEVER, THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL LEAKING AND I'M NOT SURE IS THERE WOULD BE ANY RESOLVE WITH REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH RODEO TRANSMISSION AND IS A DEFECTIVE PART THEN A RECALL IS IN ORDER.

THE CONSUMER TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER AND IT WAS ON FOR ABOUT 30 MIN. TEN MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF THE REAR WINDSHIELD EXPLODED INTO DRIVEWAY AND STREET. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE POLICE AND DEALERSHIP TO SEND SOMEONE TO CHECK CAR. THE CONSUMER WANTED THE DEALER TO INSPECT BEFORE CLEANED UP BUT THEY REFUSED ANY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THE WINDOW TINT INSTALLED WAS AGAINST THE HANDBOOK RULES. *BF *NM
