| I have some very important issues pertaining to my 1998 isuzu rodeo. i read several blogs on a forum from other rodeo owners that have had some of the same problems that i have with mine. the biggest one is the abs system and the other is the fuel sending unit and gas gauge. these are two of the most reported problems but not the only ones. it seems that isuzu should be doing something to correct these and other problems associated with this vehicle. the abs has been addressed in some but not in others. although the gas gauge does not pose any real safety issues it is one that poses minor safety issue because of the possibility of running out of gas because of not knowing the correct amount of fuel in the car. *tr | |||

| If i am decelerating and the front tires hit a bump or dip in the roadway, i lose the brake pedal. i have been told that this is an abs activation, however, i find it hard to believe this is normal abs operation. when i rear ended the vehicle, i was decelerating and rolled over a depressed manhole in the roadway causing the braking failure. i can reproduce the failure anytime. i have had isuzu dealers test drive the vehicle, and they tell me this is normal abs activation. i have driver four-wheel anti-lock break vehicle's and have never experienced this before. it has caused me to roll through red lights on numerous occasions due to rolling over road way defects while breaking. if abs is suppose to shorten my breaking distance in lieu of a skid condition, i'd rather go into a skid. at least then i will have some control over my breaking. please help... i seriously doubt this is normal for abs. *jb ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****770768 | |||

| In october of 1998 i had an incident where i needed to make a left turn on a residential street. when i braked to slow down, i couldn't stop and went through intersection. luckily no cars were around. i was very confused because suddenly the brakes seemed fine. i told people about this and just figured it was a strange incident. in april of 1999 i was driving with a friend and traveling about 35mph when a tractor trailer stopped in front of me. i went to stop and had the same feeling as before when i had no brakes. i literally drove into the back of the semi at 35 mph. i couldn't go to my right or left because of cars. the car had $8,000 worth of damage. i told the body shop that the brakes went out. they checked and found nothing. i called isuzu and they said there were no complaints. again, this was very confusing. i know i had no brakes and all of a sudden they were ok. the last incident happened in march of 2000. i was driving alone at about 30 mph and a car slowed in front of me. i hit the brakes and you guessed it, no brakes. i turned right over a curb and hit a tree slightly. this car is very dangerous to say the least. someone will be killed! i told a friend i haven't seen in a while about this and he said he saw a report on nbc about cars that had suddenly lost their brakes. i checked on the internet and found the exact same situation happened to many others with the 1998-99 rodeo. i was so excited i couldn't sleep. finally, i figured this would be taken care of. i called nbc and they said to file a complaint with you. this is a major problem that need to be corrected! please do something about this. it's not a coincidence. i've driven over 1,500,000 miles and have owned as many as 50 cars in my life. i know what i'm talking about. i'm afraid to put my kids in the car. please call for as much info as possible. thank you. *ak | |||

| I depressed the break petal and it would not go in. i had no breakes at all. i used the hand break and pulled to the side of the road. i tried again to activat the breaks but the petal would not go in. i turned off the key and immediantly the break petal went in and i had breaks. i started the car up again and knowing the dangerous problem i kept my distance from other vehicles and worked my way home. the same thing happened to me two more times. each time the same thing happened. i lost brakes completely and had to turn off the key befor i could depress the brakes again. i am very concerned. this could have resulted in a serious accident and others may be at risk if the probem also exists with there rodeo. | |||

| At least six times in the past year my braking system has failed to work properly. at speeds of 30 miles per hour and less i've had to brake suddenly. the brakes will grab for a second, release quicky, then grab again. after the third time this happened, i ask the dealer to check the brakes. they found no problems. this problem has not gone away. the last time this occurred was on july 4, 1999. the symptons the brakes are experiencing are similiar to those i have read about with the gm cars. *ak | |||

| I was turning into a mall off a freeway access road. i slowed down for the turn and as the vehicle turned, there was a bump in the road. i applied the brakes and did not feel any feedback from the pedal. it completely sank to the floor. there was a noise which sounded something like a trrrrk with clicking as the pedal sank to the floor. i got the feeling that i had no brakes at all and thought that i would surely hit the road divider as i was turning into the mall. about seconds later the vehicle seemed to slowly respond to the brakes. this had happened several times earlier. always on some kind of a bump and at quite a low speed (10-20mph). same problem -- loss of brakes, pedal sank to the floor and the trrrrk and clicking sound from the brake pedal area. i'd reported this to the dealership when i had the truck in for some accessory problems (cup holder did not close), buzzing from tape player when engine was on (never fixed either). they told me that the abs system was tested and was within the vehicle specifications. it is an extremely unnerving experience everytime this happens. i've had the vehicle for about 10 months now and this has happened about 8-9 times. i'd bought the vehicle from san antonio but i get it serviced at the dealership in austin where i live. the dealership is covert isuzu the number is 512 583 3010. *ak | |||

| At any speed if i were to apply the brakes with normal pedal pressure while one or both front wheels is traveling over an imperfection in the road or small hole the brakes seem to fail to the point that the vehicle seems to have no brakes. the vehicle feels like it just loses the effect of the brakes. the pedal feel is that it seems to move a little close to the floor and the feeling of the abs pulsating is felt during the instance but the vehicle isnt proceeding to slow down until the wheel(s) stop bouncing or revbounding from the imperfection in the road then the vehicle tends to slow down. in one instance i let up on the brake pedal and re-applied it firmer and the front wheels locked up. the pedal never seems to go to the floor as in a loss of pressure it just gets sponging and you feel the abs pulsating thru the pedal and the vehicle doesnt slow down. i am just thankfull that this hasnt led to my family and i getting into an accident. thank you for your time scott. | |||

| The brakes have failed many/many times. i have had the vehicle in the dealership over 10 times. they have brought in an isuzu design engineer and a zone manager. they couldn't find anything, and said that they officially give up. they told me they do not believe that there are problems with the brakes, and that they don't know why i'm having the problems as others are not. they think it is just my lack of understanding about how abs systems work - despite the fact that i have driven vehicles with abs for many years. the zone manager was quite patronizing. the dealership has tried to be helpful, but i believe that they have been limited due to lack of information from isuzu. please contact me asap as this is a serious safety hazard. i would like to know what the status of the investigation is. thank you. karen. *ak | |||

| When pressing the brake pedal if my foot is not all the way on the pedal , the accelerator can be pressed at the same time. this has happened on several occasions. the last occurence resulted in a collision. i believe the closeness of the pedals contributes greatly to this happening. i have found that when i have my foot on half of the brake pedal and depress fully, the accelerator is engaged by top of my foot. *ak | |||
