Hello my name IS [xxx] I live in washington state and I own a 1992 isuzu rodeo 4X4 with an automatic transmission. this isuzu rodeo has gone through 4 transmissions in the past 1 year and now the transmission control module IS going bad. I have put over $3000.00 into this vehicle and it still IS having problems. I have talked to about 10 people that are going through the same problems here in the olympia area. the cottman transmission company gave me a warranty on the transmission but they keep telling me it IS something else besides the transmission. they tell me now that it IS the transmission control module and they refuse to give me a warranty on this item since it IS an electrical unit.. what can I do about this constant problem? the vehicle IS only worth about $3000.00 and now I have over that just into the transmission.. cottman will put the second tcm in for another 1000.00 and he said if the transmission IS bad again also the warranty IS void because of an electrical problem. which means I will have to rebuild the trans. Again and it will cost another 1500.00 - 2500.00. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr

While driving at 55mph on hwy 64 from va beach to norfolk, va, my right rear firestone tire tread separated without any sign of problem except when it actually happened.

Front bumper collapsed from impact. inspection by autobody repair revealed that bumper was previously replaced with a reconditioned unit that apparently had been straightened and replated. previous owner was contacted and confirmed that an earlier accident had required bumper replacement and that his insurance carrier would only repair damage with a reconditioned part. as bumpers are a safety item, IS there any requirement that an insurance carrier must repair with original parts? I don't know if this IS in your area, if not I would appreciate any information as to who I might contact. thank you.*ak
