At times when coming to a stop with foot on brake vehicle motor revs and lurches hard to keep stopped and you at times wind up in the middle of an intersection. I purchased the car from my sister because she was to scared to drive it. Vehicle was taken to Isuzu dealer twice but still has the problem.

2000 Isuzu Rodeo---@ 62,131 miles transmission was slipping and smoke came out from under hood vehicle while traveling on the highway. Vehicle was towed to dealer. Told it was a problem with the internal transmission. Transmission was replaced at no charge under the manufacturer 10 year/120,000 mile power trainmission warranty. Again @ 92,204 miles the vehicle was jerking while shifting gears and transmission light came on. Vehicle was taken to dealer. Dealer determined the problem to be the inhibitor switch related to the external transmission. Inhibitor switch was replaced, but not covered under the power train warrenty because it was part of the external transmission. Again @ 98,489 miles the transmission was slipping while driving. After coming to a stop, the vehicle would not accelerate, unable to drive over 20mph. Vehicle was taken to dealer. The problem was again determined to be the internal transmission. Transmission was replaced for the 2nd time @ no charge under the manufacturer 10year/120,000 mile power train warranty.

My transmission is about to go out. I was told they had a 5 year/60,000 mile warrenty, so when I called the Isuzu there was nothing they could do, since my warrenty exprired 45 days before. I only have 44,000 miles on it, and don't have the money to replace it. I really feel that Isuzu should stand by the product and take responsibilty that there is an issue with the transmission failing.

Transmission problems render this vehicle completely unsafe. Transmission seal leaking and needed to be replaced. The four wheel drive light continually flashes and does not stay on. The vehicle also has a shimmy at 50 mph. The engine key became stuck in the lock cylinder.

When shifting gears transmission slips to a lower gear. Consumer notified the dealership. The gear shift didn't go into gear on occasions. The only way to check the gear is by the speedometer. Dealer stated they didn't have the unit in stock and there were none in the U.S.
