TheWoWDBUPDATE & SUMMARY (as of 4.3.0):
For everyone having issues with the Kodo stopping at the first group of mobs & hanging there.
-despite AngryLittleBunny's post, there is no Kadrak in Splintertree until AFTER you complete the quest, & he will accept the quest hand-in fine.
However, as for actually getting there:
Almost nothng in this thread worked, & what did work was very specific:
-you can't hearth off the kodo, as you get an on-screen message saying "You can't do that right now";
-ditto for the 'Character Stuck?' option mentioned by Taake;
-you can't, as Arearda mentioned, simply take the quest then "follow along" with the Kodo or make your own way to Splintertree;
-logging out and logging back in will not fix the problem alone.Here is how it worked for me:
-take and begin the quest;
-get stuck;
-DO NOT ABANDON THE QUEST (nothing else here will work if you simply start all over again);
-exit the game entirely (ie, don't simply log to Character Select);
-log back in; you will be at the place the kodo got stuck, but you will not be mounted;
-hearth out of the zone (if you are bound in Ashenvale, this will not work - change your hearth point & try again);
-if you have a Haunted Memento, bank it for the time-being;
-remove any gear (including weapons - you will not need them on this quest anyway) that has animated visual effects (putting them in your bags will be fine);
-fly back to the Mor'shan Rampart, but make sure you dismount a fair way out, and run in on foot;
-talk to Kadrak again (you should still have the quest from before) to remount, and voila! the quest should complete fine this time.

Kadrak is a lot more upset when the kodo dies at the end of this quest than he was when Gorka died at the end of the last one.
When Gorka dies: "Gorka... We must always be prepared for losses. Her honorable service to the Horde will not be forgotten."
When the kodo dies: "BRUTUSK! NOOOOOOO!"
The quest is still bugged, however, Blizzard has added a new option: "This seems urgent, Kadrak. There must be another way!", which puts you on a wind rider to Splintertree Post instead.

You're coming with me, {name}. There's no one else that I can spare, and we cannot afford for Splintertree to be lost. Prepare yourself, and speak to me again when you are ready.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crisis at Splintertree
There will be no help coming from Splintertree. The elves have launched a major assault on our stronghold there and they have the place surrounded! We must inform Kadrak or die trying! Your kodo has been loaded up with the wood you collected.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Blood of the Weak
We knew the elves wouldn't go down without a fight, but no one expected them to be able to lay siege to Splintertree... Time for them to pay for their actions! Nearby, in the Dor'Danil Barrow Den, lies something very dear to the enemy - the Forest Heart.
