75% of the time when I attempt to stop during a rain storm, when driving on bumps or stopping abruptly my brakes "slip". it feels like I'm pressing directly on the metal. When I pump the brakes it goes back to normal. I expressed this problem to a local Isuzu dealer when getting my 30,000 mile service. He chekced it out and found that the brakes were in good shape. He could not find any reason for the brakes to disfunction. I took his word for it until it happened again when I tried to brake while driving over a rail road track and the brakes "slipped" again. I, as the main dirver of this vehicle, have gotten used to this and use extreme caution whenever I am in any of the 3 situations mentioned. Unfortunately, I am not the only driver and it is a concern of mine that another person driving my car when this happens may not know how to react and get themselves into a serious, possibly fatal, accident. Besides my local dealer, which hasn't been much help, I don't know where else to go to get this problem fixed. Please help if you can. Thank you.

Brakes are an ongoing problem. Brakes intermittently work on any type surface. They release at anytime for a split second. Car just keeps on moving for a split second. Seems to happen on bumpy or wet roads. Dealer replaced some wiring harness on brakes in rear of the vehicle that they said was too short. Brakes are working so far.

Brakes failed pulling into parking space, jumped curb, brakes locked, vehicle struck building; brakes failed at high speed on highway service road, swerved vehicle onto curb to avoid collision; brakes release when driving over bumps in road at all speeds (e.g., railroad tracks, potholes, speed bumps); recreated this problem with Isuzu service manager in the vehicle; brakes have constant metal to metal sound; vehicle lurches when air conditioner compressor starts - brake pedal falls; Isuzu has stated many times that brakes meet specs; rear drums have been replaced; brake pedal has been recalibrated; problems persist; consumer safety has been grossly compromised without resolving the issue.

- Richardson, TX, USA

Brakes go to the floor on normal conditions and at any speed making a trrraacckk sound and stopping a few feet away. This has happened 7 times, luckily no car has been near and I've also pulled onto the sidewalk. Taken to dealer 3 times even have left a mechanic take car to his house for 3 days to check the brakes on the road and I've rented a car and they keep saying " the brakes are perfect, no problem." I fear for my life & others that ride with me or any other car on the street is in jeopardy. I 'm driving with one hand on the wheel and the other on the emergency brakes (that works because they've been used). Please if you can help me I would really be grateful.

When I noticed I am about to approach a pothole or if I hit a bump in the road, or sometimes a speed bump, the brakes will skip. The truck would be kicked forward, almost hitting drivers that are in front of me.

Rear ABS brakes operate erratically. Would cause extended stopping distance when applied. The brake pedal would jump quickly. Brakes would make clunking noises after stopping. The pavement would be dry. Been to dealer & informed by mechanic the ABS actuator had to be replaced.
