My 2002 Isuzu Axiom has 47,000 gentle miles on it and the transmission began to slip. Within a week of that starting it completely stopped shifting out of 1st gear. This is a commonly reported issue and from what my mechanic has said 'it's just a poor piece of equipment. '

I recently bought a used 2002 Isuzu Axiom (January 2010) and the transmission has already gone out. I was riding down the road and it just went out. I am the second owner for this automobile and I don't understand why the transmission is already gone. From doing my research I am not the only one having this problem there are hundreds of others.
