Transmission began hard shifting and slipping. Took it to dealer and dealer installed a new transmission servo cover and replaced 4 quarts of transmission fluid. Dealer indicated that original servo cover had cracked and indicated verbally this was becoming common. Problem was repaired under warranty but if this repair is becoming common and can result in complete transmission failure a warning should be issued to alert owners of this problem so the servo cover can be replaced before it's failure causes larger problems.

I purchases a 1999 isuzu rodeo lse used in january of 2004. While sitting at a traffic light three dfferent times in february the engine suddenly raced.the RPM's on the tackometer jumped to 6000 and it took both feet standing on the brakes to keep the car from surging forward. Slipping the car into neutral did not help as the back wheels spun and smoked.killing the ignition was the only thing to stop it.I also had it suddenly surge as I was heading into a parking space. The vehicle jumped the parking bumber and nearly crashed into the building, again I was able to kill the ignition before any serious damage was done. Browns isuzu in fairfax virginia examined the problem and worked on the throttle body. The problem went away for a few weeks but has started again, twice nearly causing me to slam into a car in front of me at a traffic light. I now leave at least four to five feet as there is no notice that the vehicle will do this. I am returning to the isuzu dealer this week but they hold little hope in finding the problem as it does not occur with any certainty. In looking at your website and talking to some other isuzu owners this is a common problem. I have not contacted isuzu yet but those who I have spoken to that have, they have been told isuzu never heard of this problem. I would hope that they are contacted after a complaint is filed with you, this is a very dangerous defect. I know if I have a serious accident I will certainly pursue every legal means to resolve this. If the federal safety agency has any investigating powers they should pursue this before some one dies tragically.
