On several occasions my 2004 isuzu rodeo will not start. I will attempt to start it, and it will turn over and then will not start. I will then attempt to start the SUV again and I get nothing. I have learned that I have to get out of the vehicle lock the doors, unlock the doors get back in and attempt to start the vehicle again. I have had this happen to me sitting in traffic as well. The vehicle will just stall out and then will not start. I have reported this trouble to my local isuzu dealership and they tell me that they are aware of the trouble and theres nothing they can do about it. They told me that they have had many complaints about the same problem. I told me it had something to do with the immobilzer on the vehicle. I asked if isuzu planned on dont anyting about it, and the response I got was that they had no fix at this time.
