TL* - THE CONTACT HAS A 1994 MITSUBISHI 3000 GTVR4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE BLEW UP ON THE HIGH WAY DUE TO LACK OF OIL. THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED NY A LEAK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS HAPPENED A HALF AN HOUR AFTER HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT WAS A RAINY DAY AND HE WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS COMPONENT IS UNDER SAFETY RECALL NUMBER 02V143001, AND THAT HE WOULD LIKE HIS VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL AT NO COST TO HIMSELF. *JB

ON VERY HOT DAYS, THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS ACTIVATED WHEN FIRST SHIFTING GEARS INTO OR OUT OF REVERSE. THE PROBLEM IS HIGHLY INTERMITTENT ( THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES NOW ) AND ONLY STARTED A YEAR AGO (VEHICLE AGE 8 YRS). AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE. CHECKING THE ERROR INDICATOR MESSAGE INDICATES THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE GEAR SELECTION SENSOR LOCATED ON THE TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO MY ISUZU SHOP MANUAL @1993, PART NO 2-90994-072-0 THE ERROR IS DTC CODE #54 "MODE SWITCH ILLEGAL POSITION". CYCLING THE IGNITION AND WAITING A FEW MINUTES USUALLY CLEARS THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS LEFT THE CAR STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY BUT SO FAR HAS NOT LED TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR TAILLIGHT OR FUSE IN THE CIRCUIT BUT DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT NATURE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE FAILING COMPONENT. I BROUGHT THIS TO A SHOP ONCE AND THEY SAID IT REQUIRED OPENING THE TRANSMISSION TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH DIFFERS FROM MY SHOP MANUAL.*AK
