My transmission is about to go out. I was told they had a 5 year/60,000 mile warrenty, so when I called the isuzu there was nothing they could do, since my warrenty exprired 45 days before. I only have 44,000 miles on it, and don't have the money to replace it. I really feel that isuzu should stand by the product and take responsibilty that there is an issue with the transmission failing.

Our car broke down on thanksgiving and we found out the following monday that the entire transmission went out. Fortunately we have an extended warranty that will help with our costs of replacing the transmission for a brand new one. However, the clutch was damaged and has to be replaced also and we are still waiting to receive the replacement transmission that has to be shipped from california. This vehicle is sitting just over 82,000 miles, (far too few miles to have such big problems).
