| I was on the interstate and as i pressed the accelerator to increase my speed-i was currently going 55-the accelerator got stuck. the vehicle continued to increase in speed-during rush hour, but i managed, after pressing the brake hard 4 times, to un-stick the accelerator. i ended up going 80 mph and avoided a crash but this alarmed me as this has never happened to me and it is as if the vehicle had a mind of its own. especially after recent deaths in the cases with toyota. i contacted isuzu and i was told that they have not issued any recalls on this issue. i asked if this were to happen in my vehicle again or if a dealer were not able to fix it what would be the course of action, and i was told that i would be responsible for making that financial decision since my warranty is up. i am sure the first one to have this same type of mechanical error in a toyota was told the same thing and look where it got them! | |||

| (1) events leading up to failure: on three separate occasions, my 2004 isuzu rodeo 2wd vehicle suddenly accelerated forward while my foot was on the brake pedal. (2) failure and its consequences: all incidences occurred while waiting at either a stop light or sign. had i not had my foot firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle would have lunged forward and either hit the car in front or a pedestrian in a crosswalk. (3) what was done to correct the failure: on june 26, 2006, i took the vehicle in to the only authorized isuzu dealership on the island of oahu to investigate the problem. after checking the car over for two full days, they were not able to resolve the issue. the dealership claims that i would need to recreate the scenario for them to fix the problem. note: potential related incident: on may 4, 2006, the vehicle was taken in to the same dealership due to the check engine light coming on. the cause: inoperable cruise control which required light general repairs (1900 diagnosis). *jb | |||
