Driving to work and car start bucking. I was unable to work for two days.I took the car in for repairs and was told by dealer that even though I only have 52,000 mi they would not cover the cost of replacing the transfer case ($2,500)

The automatic transmission range mode switch failed, causing the transmission to shift from drive into neutral as the vehicle is in operation. I feel that this is a possible safety issue, as failure of the transmission as higher speeds is not safe. Isuzu motors of america is aware of this and has failed to adequately address the issue.

I own a 1999 vehicross by isuzu. I bought it one year ago and have only 50,000 miles on it. A few months ago the power window mechanism on the driver's side failed and I had to repair it. Upon coming in contact with an organization of several hundred vehicross enthusiasts I discovered that this type of window failure is epidemic with this model car. Some of the owners have had multiple failures -- I.e., the windows have been fixed only to fail again, sometimes three or four times.
