The transmission begin to skate and only stay in use the reverse and the winter drive form. The car was checked and the oil level are in good standing. Later after two days all drive forms stay in blank. I put the car in drive 1 and the car no response in any drive form.

Transmission failure. Cracked output shaft from transmission. Replaced with a new 2 piece transmission shaft. However, even though isuzu knows about this, hence the recommendation of the new 2 piece shaft, I had to pay for all repairs myself, over 2000 dollars

I emailed isuzu regarding problem - got form letter saying to contact dealer. Dealer has been no help, and that's why I went to isuzu in the first place. Hard copy letter being sent to isuzu, dealership, and the federal safety agency today. 4-wd repeatedly fails to engage at any speed. Dealership claims they can not reproduce, though I have driven it into the garage twice this winter with it failing. They did tell me that they had trouble above "parking lot speeds" but "meets manufacturer specifications" since they could get it to engage eventually. When I push the button, at any speed, the light just flashes. This happens almost always first thing in the morning, and about 50% of the time otherwise. (the car is kept in a garage overnight so it isn't a temperature thing). They did mention that it has been a problem for other owners. I believe it is a safety issue since I bought this vehicle to be safe driving in snow, and without the 4wd, it's a rear-wheel drive vehicle and a menace on less-than-perfect roads. The dealership also told me that after I reach 60,000 miles, that there will be no coverage under warranty, even though this has been documented for over a year.

We have experienced several problems with this vehicle, the major problems have included the muffler system being replaced, front crank and rear main seals leaking and being replaced, transmission being toally replaced at 57k and now our timing belt has snapped causing $4,000 in damage to the motor. Owner's manual states that timing belt does not need to be checked until 75k the vehicle only has 67k. We lost the transmission and the motor on I-20 in louisiana going at a rate of 70mph, both times being left stranded on the interstate early in the am. Both incidents have put my family in danger and I honestly believe that if either had occurred later in the day it would have resulted in an accident.
