Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: As another complainant listed, this car is a lemon! huge electrical issues with the mode selector shift switch; automatic transmission will be in drive but dash indicator light will say neutral; cost to fix problem was $ including a new transmission because bad switch ruined the transmission! no help from gm/isuzu owner relations. told me it was my own fault for not taking care of the vehicle and that i should not have bought a used vehicle. i have record of all maintenance done on vehicle including transmission flushes. dealer service told me they change at least 5 of these switches a month and as many as 2-3 a week at times but couldn't tell me when this started what my problem was. the transmission had to go bad and be replaced before it was evident to anyone what the problem was. not acceptable! this should be a recall and a properly designed switch put in. owner relations made no effort to be civil much less helpful in any way! my car had problems at 60000 miles and a new transmission put on at 72000 miles - unacceptable! *la
