1999 Rodeo shifts hard into all gears and fuses keep blowing that controls the directionals, reverse lights, A/C and cruise control. 5 attemps have been made to repair problem and no success. The car is not safe to drive. Isuzu has not responded to 2 letters I have mailed, 1 letter was mailed containing all documentation of failures and that letter was returned to me, also many phone messages have not been returned. I want Isuzu to take responsibility for this problem and repurchase my car.

My "new" truck has a problem with idling very high (2000rpm in drive/2400-2700 in neutral) to where it is difficult to stop the vehicle. This has happened twice in the first 16mos. Of ownership. Took truck to O.C. Jeep/Isuzu in Mar., 2000 - they "reprogrammed PCM" (the computer). 10/26/00 took truck to mckenna Isuzu in hunt. Bch, ca for same problem - they "cleaned terminals & replaced" fried "cable to battery". 11/16/00 returned to mckenna w/same problem (high-idle) - they "reprogrammed PCM computer". the idling problem causes the car to lurch when brake is not held firmly, car does 35mph(+) w/out gas pedal engaged, causes down-shifting of auto-transm. To be very rough. Feels very dangerous to drive when acting up.

The Rodeo has been in the shop four times for erratic idle. At times, the idle will increase greatly causing me to apply more pressure on the brakes. At times, while at speed, when I take my foot of the gas, the idle remains at that speed for 3-4 seconds.
