Electrical System · at 5,000 miles · reported Apr 26, 2005
On several occasions my 2004 isuzu rodeo will not start. I will attempt to start it, and it will turn over and then will not start. I will then attempt to start the SUV again and I get nothing. I have learned that I have to get out of the vehicle lock the doors, unlock the doors get back in and attempt to start the vehicle again. I have had this happen to me sitting in traffic as well. The vehicle will just stall out and then will not start. I have reported this trouble to my local isuzu dealership and they tell me that they are aware of the trouble and theres nothing they can do about it.…
