Help! I have a 98 Isuzu Rodeo with 171,000 miles on it. I was driving down the interstate today and I took my foot off the accelerator briefly. When I put my foot back on the gas pedal, I felt a short series of vibrations or stuttering through the pedal. The battery light immediately came on, and I noticed it was hard to turn the wheel when I switched lanes. When I pulled into my parking deck, I had to strain very hard to turn the wheel in either direction. I also smelled a slight burning smell. When I stopped, I checked the tires and steering fluid, and they were all ok. What is going on? Is this something I can fix or is it time to get a new car?
