(i have concerns documented)reported problem multiple times but told could not duplicate."then,nov 2004,previously conditions worsened & transmission failed at 45k mi. towed to mike's transmission who installed replacement trans. week later got vehicle & with in a month,trans light came on & car stalled while driving. have had to take car in almost every month to get transmission fixed,at least 10x in less than 1 yr. i was taken outside by one mechanic & told i should trade car in b/c passports "all have this problem" & they keep "replacing defective parts" in my vehicle with new defective parts". couple days later, the trans light came back on. took vehicle to miller honda & paid for a 2nd opinion & was told trans was shot & fluid in trans was "burnt".called mike's & they agreed to replace the trans again. a few days later,got vehicle back. last thursday,less than a month after receiving new transmission was driving on freeway in far left lane at 70 mph & lost all power from gas pedal to engine. cars speeding past me as i uncontrollably lost speed. maneuvered across 5 lanes & exited. friday, found out flex plate/fly wheel severed,connects engine to,guess what,transmission!3 mechanics talked to never heard of this happening before,extremely unusual.so unusual that warranty co won't cover b/c they've never heard of it,nor is it listed anywhere in their books. so,to have a vehicle,cost is $1,766. i'm so unbelievably upset i've been sitting at home,with no transportation,crying. is it unreasonable to expect a new vehicle should last at least 3 years?(bought vehicle 10/01, trans failed 11/04)mechanics can't believe trans failed at 45k mi (had been complaining of problems as early as 11k mi)numerous people who own rodeo/passport have same problem.what's necessary for honda/isuzu recall this vehicle?*jb |
