Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The rodeo was three months old when i noticed that the gas mileage was decreasing at an alarming rate. (less than 12 miles per gallon) upon taking the rodeo to the shop i was told that it had a seal on the transmission that was leaking causing the engine to work harder, burning more gas. ( i saw no oil) the seal was replaced but the leak continued. the dealer determined that it would need a new transmission. if the vehicle was older i would have dismissed the transmission due to age. since it is so new i wondered if there have been other reports of this. my rodeo is an automatic.*ak
